Mothering on Faith: March 2012
http://motheringonfaith.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
One mom trying to understand poverty and awaken her kids' spiritual identities, whatever they may be. Wednesday, March 28, 2012. Development Clock vs Kid Clock: What's the right way to help an orphan? I’m cracking open a beer at the end of my first day back in Phnom Penh since October, mulling over some of the country news and a dated Economist. Article that’s left a bitter taste in my mouth. Rupert Wolfe Murray’s article. In case you don’t follow the State Department’s adoption website. Right I’m ...

Mothering on Faith: Life comes at you fast, reality-check in the bathroom
http://motheringonfaith.blogspot.com/2012/11/life-comes-at-you-fast-reality-check-in.html
One mom trying to understand poverty and awaken her kids' spiritual identities, whatever they may be. Monday, November 19, 2012. Life comes at you fast, reality-check in the bathroom. And—I miss you! And now there is something else. A period expected mid-trip, counted on, taken for granted! Midnight panics, and then early morning brooding. This wasn’t supposed to happen! There’s just no way! How can a cycle last so many days! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). About Mothering on Faith. A Brief History o...

Mothering on Faith: October 2012
http://motheringonfaith.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
One mom trying to understand poverty and awaken her kids' spiritual identities, whatever they may be. Saturday, October 6, 2012. Moved to Kiev, ahead of kids, the single professional. TJ got a job in Kiev. I competed for a great spot in Tbilisi, but lost it to a woman who vacated her seat in Kiev. Through the musical chairs of bureaucratic rotation, we have managed to land in the same city for the next few years. Great luck! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). About Mothering on Faith.

Mothering on Faith: October 2011

One mom trying to understand poverty and awaken her kids' spiritual identities, whatever they may be. Tuesday, October 25, 2011. Rise Up Washington Bureaucrat! In between such oases are stretches of gray paneling, closed doors, frosted class, and behind it, tight-lipped functionaries scrolling through email. In short, I’m back in Washington. How have I come full-circle? What kinds of skills do I actually have? Well, you get the picture. And I don’t want to become the Disgruntled Colleague, whos...I’...

One mom trying to understand poverty and awaken her kids' spiritual identities, whatever they may be. Tuesday, May 24, 2011. Mothering by the Seat of My Pants. Well, tonight there were more tears, and Ernie was silent behind a closed door. Yosh says it’s weird riding next to his brother on the van. But this time I grabbed the situation by the balls. Fuck you Mr. Walker! Fuck you for over-loading the homework, and making Ernest think Jesus is keeping track if he finishes it or not! Sunday, May 22, 2011.

Mothering on Faith: April 2012
http://motheringonfaith.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
One mom trying to understand poverty and awaken her kids' spiritual identities, whatever they may be. Friday, April 20, 2012. A talk with my children, and waiting. Concentrating on breathing and bird-chirping is the best way to clear my mind. But Tika also crosses herself when ambulances pass, quietly repeating the Angel of Mercy. When, after much pleading, TJ and I bought her a. Now Tika is re-reading. The Color of Home. 8217; (yes, that was Puck). The boy who said he didn't know anything has thought th...

One mom trying to understand poverty and awaken her kids' spiritual identities, whatever they may be. Monday, February 28, 2011. Morning Coffee, Same Old Routine. Sunday, February 27, 2011. Visit to Tuol Sleng, and then the Cambodiana Pool. Today has been another mixed bag. Shortly after moving into our apartment, I noticed on the map that we live on exactly the same street, Street #113, as the infamous Tuol Sleng Prison. Saturday, February 26, 2011. Getting Clothes Made, and the Asian Hope Fun-Fair.

Mothering on Faith: Mommy of Four, Cambodia-Bound
http://motheringonfaith.blogspot.com/p/mommy-of-four-cambodia-bound.html
One mom trying to understand poverty and awaken her kids' spiritual identities, whatever they may be. Mommy of Four, Cambodia-Bound. The start of 2011 presented TJ and me with a challenge we’ve seen before in our marriage. TJ’s got an assignment for a few months and won’t be home. We’re both working in Washington on international development, which is to say that most of the time we’re in Washington, but for months here and there, we’re not. Yup, let’s send Sarabi there. And that was just the beginning o...
