Isn’t it strange how everything can still be in flux and undetermined, but suddenly you find peace in being where you are? All my life I have been searching for my mission.

Reconnecting
It is difficult to describe the pleasure of reconnecting with a friend after several years and finding her happy and fulfilled. I had that rare treat yesterday when I met up with Suyan. Ours is a rather unique friendship in my book. We go back all the way to being classmates in Pri 4. We […]
