We have a baby!  Our journey that led us to our baby girl hasn’t been an easy one–we had a few many bumps in our marriage, two very turbulent early trimesters, and one heartbreaking miscarriage.  It wasn’t the worst of situations but it also wasn’t the best.  The beginnings were rough but somehow my […]

  All of us have been blessed with small or grand delights of creativity.  Whether you’re a writer, engineer, artist, educator, entrepreneur, or a stay-at-home mom–a creative genius resides within you.  The problem is, this creative genius is a fickle guy–it won’t always show up at your door.  When you need it most it seems […]

  This love story holds a very special place in my heart.  My dear friend Bruce and I attended high school in the tiny but busting city of Seoul, South Korea.  And in this very same city–many years later–is where Laura and Bruce’s love story all began.  Laura, a Delaware native, had been working as […]

  Dear Sean, Last night, while you drifted away into a deep sleep within what seemed like milliseconds, I remained tossing and turning and doing everything I could to battle my insomnia.  After hours of this scuffle, I turned to you and held your hand.  I thought about how lucky I’ve been to have watched […]

  Phew.  2017 threw me a curve ball and a fast one at that.  Early in the year, Sean and I were still recovering from our miscarriage.  By mid-2017, the ecstacy of our successful pregnancy news was quickly and negatively overwhelmed by my morning sickness.  I lost control of my life–my creative passions, my love […]

  A year ago, I posted my ‘2016: A Year in Review‘ to the blog.  And holy hell, a lot has happened in my life since.  To put it succinctly, it was a great year for growth.  And while I’d love to share and expand on my personal, entrepreneurial, and spiritual 2017 journey with you, […]
