Please take the time to learn from adopted people who are sharing experiences, thoughts, and their voices bravely. There are as many adoption stories as there are adopted people.

It is another time with layers of complication for Korean adoptees, both with family ancestral origins known and unknown.
Thinking of all on these days of full lunar autumn moons.

I had the privilege to travel.
"Rest so that we can come back and do the things that are important to and demanded of us"...so we can dig deep & do the work needed - especially during these times of intense duress & terror.
Much gratitude to the universe.
Much love, hope, and peace to all,

Last week I had the honor to run sessions at Camp Mujigae.
These are some of the messages that the youth wrote when prompted to write a message to themselves on a hard day.
