Happy 20th Birthday to my blog

I can't believe that my last post was in 2022. I guess...life happens?

I've been sharing my writing on social platforms, but if I am honest, here's what led me back to this little corner.

I got a DM from one of my special former students I taught in Cape Town. It was in response to some writing I shared on there.

He wrote: "I've checked ur blog while ago...don't u think it's time to write there again?!"

After I responded that I think he's right, he answered:

"I'm gonna check it from time to time ;)" 

So there. I'm now held accountable. And I don't mind.

I started this blog in 2005. The word "blog" wasn't a buzz word at all back then. 

I remember turning to my blog as a place of refuge and solace when I lived in South Korea. I remember walking home from the school I worked at. I couldn't wait to get home to write on my blog. 

Words have always been my therapy. 

So - this year, as my blog turns 20 years old (!!!) this year, let's see how this goes.
