Happy heart

Living in East Asia with my family. I love taking pictures and communicating with friends from around the world. I enjoy sewing as well as taking pictures and turning them into cards. I have one son and a little girl on the way who we look forward to welcoming soon.

Hello! I have been a cross cultural worker for about 6 years in the country I fell in love with in high school. It has been an incredible journey of questioning, ups and downs, and growth.

I’ve been living and loving in Southern Asia since 2011. Together with my husband and two small children, we are determined to master the fine art of eating rice with our right hands. I believe one person can make a difference, and I am honored to give a voice and a choice to those who have been without for so long.

My husband and I have been in Chiang Mai, Thailand since 2012. Originally from the Detroit area, we spent six years in Orlando, Florida before moving here. We have three teen/tween daughters (two adopted from China). We like living in Chiang Mai but we still miss the beach.

My husband and I have been serving in Beijing for almost two years and the best part has been how much we have been transformed by The Father!

I’m an Aussie, living in the jungles of Indonesia. I love my extended Indonesian family who constantly teach me, laugh with me or at me and who share the same desires for this area.
For me – I am the only expat here! Which can be exciting, daunting, lonely, all at the same time. I’m so grateful for an online community such as Velvet Ashes, where I can belong and know there are people out there that actually understand my crazy life.
