I Will Survive
Let’s take inventory. I’ve been in Saigon for two months now. It’s honestly been good and bad. Maybe bad is the wrong word…it’s more like “challenging”. Considering I’m a challenge junkie, one would think that I could have rolled with all of this massive change in my life a bit better, but alas…I am human.

The View From Across the Pond
This was a really exciting day. I have been marveling at just how far-reaching the US Election is/was. There is a weird excitment in the air - even in the polluted Vietnamese air! One of the fascinating things for me is to understand just how global our US election really is; it’s overwhelming.
I talked to [...]
McCain, Obama, and I; Cast your Vote
I look at the presidential candidates from a far and the meltdown of the US financial markets (as well as my own net worth) and wonder to myself who in their right minds would want to be President? What are Obama and McCain thinking about in the deep, dark recesses of their brains. If you [...]
Delicious Ambiguity - Relocating
It’s been over 5 years since I’ve moved. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been on the move continuously for the last 2 years; I’m talking about actually moving to live in a new place where I have an actual rent payment. I’ve had many homes after I moved out of my childhood home in Peoria, [...]
Abrupt Transitions
Dhal Bat Days - Vol. 1
8/30/08
Oh my God – what have I done? I kind of feel like it’s my first week at college again where I miss my friends and my comfortable life and wonder how the hell I’m ever going to make it.
I arrived in Kathmandu after 27 hours of travel from NYC [...]
Tears for Fears
One year and fifty weeks ago I was in the same place. Sitting in a plane preparing to leave US soil for an unknown amount of time. The last few days I have bounced between feeling scared, sad, excited, and mad. I don’t know what to expect on my own, I’m terribly sad to say [...]
Ottsworld Under Construction
I’ve been talking about it for a long time, and finally some progress is being made; my new website is underway! Moving the site and all of the old posts, pictures, and comments has been quite a task. As you can tell, it’s not fully completed yet, but I decided to cut over to it [...]
Travel vs. Motherhood
I’m doing a different type of travel these last few weeks. I’m traveling to catch up. Catch up to what you may ask; friends. This summer is about enjoying the cool summers of the northern US, fighting off mosquitoes, and having reunions with old friends. I’m staying with my sister and her kids at a [...]
Want to take a Career Break and Travel?
If you are sitting at your desk, stealing away a few minutes of sanity from meetings, your 4th cup of coffee, emails, the blackberry, and deadlines – then read on…
A few years ago when I started researching my career break, I quickly realized that for a corporate American – I was exploring new territory. There [...]
Sherry Has Left The Building
Photo: Shutting the door on my 5 years at 74th and Columbus…
There’s something surreal about seeing your bed wheeled down the streets of NYC on a dolly. Really – a sobering situation.
There I was, walking down the street with friends after dinner seeing my life possessions being carted down the street – God…this isn’t happening…is [...]
