    Possessions: What do we really, truly possess? We think of possessions as things we plan and hope on keeping permanently, and the more we have the more we want to collect.

    When you have your first child you become privy to the most well guarded secret: you have just signed on for the most important and permanent job of your life. It looks so easy. Everyone does it. Our parents did it. Our friends and neighbors seem to do it. And then your child arrives! I…

    Over time I have come to believe that the simpler life is a secret key to satisfaction of the right kind. We often feel overwhelmed with our lives, with our possessions and the responsibilities that accumulate as an aftereffect of these possessions and where do we run to?

    Land has this mysterious way of pulling at your soul, of beckoning you home, and for our young daughter, this land is Germany. The longer we expatriate in China, the mightier that tug.

    Our children have this magical way of growing up without us even noticing. The greatest miracle of expansion from a little fetus to a wonderful human taking their place in the world, cannot be taken for granted. It is an amazing thing, growth.

    Sometimes life feels like we are charging forward at high speed with a hybrid car till we start stalling and running out of power, doesn’t it? What better recharging station than the beach? Sun, sand, the elements, peace, quiet, color, inspiration… I am thankful for a much needed pause in the journey.
