Lisa: “Do you want to put some music on?”
Mike: “If it’s not going to distract you. You know, that’s another thing we need to do – figure out how to get our music on each others iPods. We’re married. We should be allowed to share!”
Lisa: “I like it when we share, particularly when you share with me.”
Mike: “I know you do, that’s what “share” means to you – that I share with you.”
Lisa (clapping): “You’re making such good progress in learning to speak marriage fluently!”

About me
-
I am a mother (I am also a psychologist and an author but during these foggy days of early parenthood those other identities can seem remote indeed).
We live in Laos. My husband, Mike, works for a humanitarian organization here. I write and mother. My next book, Love At The Speed Of Email, will be out in April 2012. I expect my other current project, Dominic, to be out in about 2030.
The word "home" perplexes me. So does, often, this motherhood thing.
Thanks for visiting. Stick around, I'd love to hear from you!
