Wow, can't believe it's been half a year since I've added anything on here! Well, so much has been happening in the intervening time so it's no real surprise, I suppose. After all, I went from living in the U.S., back to Canada and then across the Atlantic to England here (yes, the "Land of my Dreams"). Coming to Britain has been like returning home to a place where I'd never physically been.

Great to catch everyone's news and see what the world is doing to help with the post-earthquake and tsunami crisis in Asia. My own parents are over there now in Indonesia as volunteer relief workers. I really admire them and understand why they want to be there physically. After the horrors they have both endured from living through a war and the refugee camps, they instintively know what people need in these situations. I'm so honoured to have such giving parents.

It's amazing to see the efforts of the British here. Tonnes of items have been donated within the first few days and shipped off to the most needy areas. I'm so happy to be surrounded by these globally-minded people!

Anyway, back to the plough now. Have continued working on my long-dormant novel now that I've gained more of the necessary experiences and insights to do so. Mostly, it's to help me figure out this jigsaw puzzle known as MY LIFE!
