I’m not normally a big fan of Neil Diamond but this song really captures where I’m at just now:
“Well, I’m New York City born and raised
But nowadays, I’m lost between two shores
LA’s fine, but it ain’t home
New York’s home but it ain’t mine no more”
Having spent the last 14 years living outside my home culture and absolutely loving it, I’m now at a point of trying to figure out how the different strands in my life make a whole, of how all the colourful fragments come together to form a beautiful mosaic.

Welcome to the blog world from one confused 3rd culture kid to another!

Great idea! It helps to process thoughts and feelings when you write them down. I don’t have a blogspot, but I’ve “bookmarked” yours and will watch it regularly.
Some people find crossing cultures really hard — but you seem to have a “gift” for it. God’s grace plus easy-going personality I suppose…
