In May of 2019 I met Ken, a very gifted Chinese Medicine doctor with a focus on energy. We became friends, and slowly he would throw tidbits out to me. Sometimes very subtle like when I was drinking a Coke and he casually said “You know Coke is not good for you.” I haven’t had a Coke since. I just stick with my ice cold water. Then he brought me an energy net. Suggested I…

When I first moved to Thailand my youngest son was living here. He had fallen in love with the country and invited me to come over when my husband passed away. Seemed like a good idea, a chance to head in a new direction now that my life had dramatically change with the loss of my best friend and husband. My son and I shared time here together for around 5 years, then he decided…

Tomorrow Jake and I move into our new house. While I am happy with my decision to move, again, I am still trying to understand it. I wasn’t really looking for a place, but the photo of the pool caught my attention and I decided to check it out. As I delved into it further, by going out to see the house, then weighing the distance vs. convenience, it became apparent that this house would…

Sometimes I still have a hard time wrapping my mind around the reality that I am living in Thailand. It is at those moments when I really look around me in awe and tell myself “Yep, you are in Thailand”.

I am looking all around to see if I can find the kitty, wondering if I would be able to coax it to come to me. From the cry I was hearing I figured it was calling for help.…

I have been scrambling my brain trying to figure out what I really want at this point in my life. The answer came when an opportunity arose. In my heart I visualized living by water so Jake could swim everyday and lose weight. I imagined living in a natural setting among beauty to seed my hungry soul. A place where I might rekindle my main passion in life, photography. With this new opportunity a clear…

As a webmaster, hoping to get traffic to my site, I followed the Social Media craze, signed up for MySpace, then Facebook, and Twitter and Pinterest, Google+, and who only knows what else I have signed up for. Now that I have plastered myself all over the internet I have regrets. If I were to do it all over again I would join Facebook under a different name, a nickname, and I would have avoided…

One of the perks of living in Thailand is the opportunity to visit Immigration every 90 days to check in. To be quite frank, I didn’t use to see it as a perk, but as a bothersome nuisance that I was obligated to do if I wanted to stay in the Country. But today was different. I arrived at 7:45 and received my first number. It is an interesting system they recently started using that…
