I had decided last year that I wanted to write about my personal history, and stay true to my experience while respecting the nuances. I feel like I did a good job in my initial attempt to explain the circumstances, but there's always something that you can't convey completely. Especially when the subject is so [...]
Update
I'm sorry for the radio silence since October! My husband found a great job in north Miami and we ended up having to move about 50 miles north after a month of getting up at 4:30 am and commuting everyday. Suffice it to say, we've been busy and I'm exhausted! But we have been able [...]
