Welcome!

Hi there!

I’m a mom, wife, and daughter. I had never thought that I would be a stay at home mom. But after the birth of my child, when we decided to move out of the country I grew up in, I had to mold my expectations based on my external circumstances. Like most people, I have many roles but the one I’ve embraced whole-heartedly is that of a mom.

I soon realized though that being a mom is not for the faint of heart! Especially when one has to guide a child through 6 schools in 4 cities across 3 countries in a span of 10 years.

When I lost my father in-law last year, I couldn’t deny the fragility of life anymore. It was then that I decided to start this blog as a way to chronicle the lessons I’ve learned from my experiences. I quickly realized that I loved writing and sharing. It gives me an opportunity to make sense of all that has happened in my life.

Life is strange — at times it may feel like a burden, but it is mostly a blessing; it is fragile and yet resilient; it is both tender and tough. The duality of life and this world is what make them interesting and amazing.

I write to share my stories as a mom, a sister, a daughter, an immigrant, and an expat. But I also write with the hope that you are inspired to look at life a little more closely and thereby derive meaning and a fresh perspective from the mundane.

Join me on this exciting journey!
