http://joy-in-thecity.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 28, 2013. Letting Go of Your Need To Be Loved. Yesterday I wrote my 20. Blog post. It felt like something of a milestone. I know for the veteran bloggers out there the 20.

Just about 3 weeks in, over 700 reads and page visits, and so many rich life-altering moments chronicled. I feel very grateful. This has made me think lots about this need for validation we as humans expe...

Lists - Books and Stuff. Tuesday, April 28, 2015. I rarely - if ever - email authors. Today, I emailed Thanha Lai with a suggestion for a spin-off from her book Listen, Slowly. Before we go any further, I must apologize for not using diacritical marks in this review. Diacritical marks are VERY important in Viet Namese, as Lai's book shows. But Ba, quiet, peaceful, fragile Ba, how can Mai say no to Ba? This description led to my suggestion. Lai describes a facial treatment that one of the Aunts forces...

I DID read Brown Girl Dreaming. Then she added, ...
