Book Review: A Crane Among Wolves by June Hur
I have been waiting for this book for ages and it finally came out this summer. I think I pre-ordered it several months ago. It took me about three days of consistent reading to get her finished and WOW was it worth it. June Her writes Korean Historical Fiction. This novel was based on the…

0 Score & 7 Years Ago
Grandpa Fish died seven years ago today. If our family was Korean we would gather and set a table of food and burn incense in his memory. We are not Korean. And we don’t have any memorial type traditions. So I think about him by myself. In years past I would visit his graveside, have…

Life Updates

Today I did some thing that I’ve been putting off for over a year. It took 30 minutes of my time. No big deal. Or is it? I have not been able to access online banking for my business in over a year. But I get regular statements emailed to me so I know my…

Unofficial Mom: Part 2
After recognizing a lot of the resentment I was holding onto just for kicks we talked about what I would do differently if I could redo college. Because that’s where a lot of my issues stem from. I told my shrink that if I could go back in time, I would only stay in Tennessee…

Unofficial Mom
Therapy has been doing so well. Last week we did some EMDR and I feel like a couple breakthroughs were made. Sometimes I joke about having oldest daughter syndrome And I talked a lot about how I was always the mom of my friend groups. And while that is just part of my personality, and…
