Love's Divine Adventure

It is day 25 (of 365) in Chungju, South Korea. Let's rewind a bit, shall we?

So, what made you decide to leave everything that you have known and loved your entire life to come halfway across the world to a place you know so little about? (Insert look of astonishment and long awkward pause, here). It's a fair question and mostly it's simply because...........I know so little about this place.......Korea, my birthplace. Months prior to my decision to come to Korea, while desperately trying to restore a sense of balance and fulfillment (not finding it in the current situation I was in), I'm recalling something my mother said to me which was, "go where you can give and grow". So, I began the process of finding a teaching position in Korea, interviewing, accepting a one-year job contract and obtaining a Visa (all in a matter of 2 months). The entire process was.....well, a process. However, the way that each step fell into place was honestly, quite remarkable (not to mention the amount of love and support that I received from family and friends - such a demonstration of Life and Love!).

This is a year-long LDA (as my aunt and uncle would say) and I invite you to come along on my journey! Here goes...

  2. LDA, "Love's divine adventure", is from Mary Baker Eddy's book, The First Church of Christ Scientist and Miscellany, where she states, "We live in an age of Love's divine adventure to be All-in-all."
    One of Aunt Sabra and Uncle Jim's favorite terms!
