Welcome to my new blog
I've had another blog for some time, but it seems its not publicly accesible, and so I've linked this to our website. I'm going to treat it as a diary of events that Andrew and I walk through in the next days, months, years....walk with me as I continue to learn and experience the sights and sounds, friendships, disappointments and struggles of living in southern Spain. Most of you who know me well know that I wear a necklace shaped like Africa around my neck. It many ways it has become symbolic of what is close to my heart. First, we bought it together after we got engaged in Ghana, W. Africa. Andrew and I walked one day into a little shop and he picked out the little pendant on a silver chain. The owner and designer is a Lebanese woman, self exiled from Lebanon in the 80s. The symbol on the Africa pendant is an Akan symbol, meaning Omnipotent God. It is located roughly where Ghana is. I forget that I wear it sometimes, I've worn it almost daily for close to 7 years. T
