Testing Posting From my Phone

So I have the app but does it work? Let's find out!

That's Not Fog!

Shanghai, our current home, has sunny days but it has a lot of not so sunny days. Many days the weather report says its foggy, but that fog is in fact pollution. 

 

 

The days that the sky is covered with pollution the air is very bad to breathe in. At some points it becomes important to stay inside and run air purifiers. 

 

I've attached a picture from my balcony so you can see what it is like. 

 

Have you ever seen pollution or lived in it? Tell me about it here! 

The Long Road

Several years ago my dreams and life came crashing down in front of me. Things I had wanted were ripped away, at no fault to myself or my husband. It was a dark time for me. Its taken several years for me to write about it. Its taken a lot of sleepless nights, tears, and heartache to find a new normal.

They say 'time heals all'...I am not so sure 'time' is the thing that heals. Time helps, but it takes more than time. It takes being willing to deal with hurt, set boundaries, taking time to heal, and time for yourself.

It also takes walking a new road, finding new dreams. It means stopping hiding, stopping being afraid and learning to emerge, flourish and thrive.

In my journey (and trust me I am still walking this long road) I hid far too long.  So I will slowly share stories here with the hope that it will help you.

Along with my stories will be stories of my life and family. I invite you to join me in this journey. Welcome to my blog. Grab a cup of hot tea, and sit back. Life is most certainly about the journey and not the destination. So breathe and walk with me.
