NEW HERE?

Welcome!  I'm so glad you're here.  Here are some good places to begin.

From Kolkata, where I began this blog (2007): 

-He Comes For Her - a look into the brothels of Kolkata's red light district 
-Lessons From the Bedside - a story of a precious Bengali woman

On returning to America after India (2008):

-One Heart on the Way Down Hadley Street - the scope of human need  
-The Essentials - afraid of forgetting the deep and the true 

From stage left, welcome Aaron to the show (2008-2009):

-The Ring's on Her Finger - our engagement
-Aaron - on why I fell in love
-New Life and New House - checking in after the wedding

And then I wrote about all sorts of stuff as a wife, K-Life leader, aunt (2009-2012):

-She Is - the broken identities I've lived in
-A List of the Everyday - sometimes the small things are fun to recount
-TGIF - the niece and nephew who have stolen my heart a million times over
-A Day in the Life: San Juan Mountains Edition - we spent 3 summers in Lake City, CO
-Pancakes and Joy - K-Life was often hard and always rewarding

We got to go on a trip of a lifetime (2012):

-France in Three Days - the title pretty much says it all
-Turkey: Istanbul - we toured the city with my sister and her family
-Italy: Cinque Terre - Aaron and I daydream about this place all the time

One season ended and a new one began (2013):
