I got to write about some of my favorite career books! What I loved about writing this article was being reminded that no matter where we are on the career ladder, we're all on a journey. Even the most successful people know that there are areas in which they can improve.
I'm always looking for my next read -- what favorites would you recommend to me?

In Greece we still have thousands of refugees coming over by boat. Our hearts break. Imagine having to flee your home. Leaving behind your family. Your friends. Your language. That restaurant that has your favorite meal. The place where you fell in love.

While doing research for an article I'm writing today, I noticed that today's Google Doodle honors Hollywood's first Chinese American star, Anna May Wong. I read up on her on my lunch break, and I came across something she said that resonated with me, and may resonate with other third culture kids: "It's a pretty sad situation to be rejected by Chinese because I'm 'too American' and by American producers because they prefer other races to act Chinese parts." Greeks have often made me feel not Greek enough, while Americans have sometimes made assumptions about me based on my last name. To further complicate my identity, I'm a "halfling," as my mother, an American of Swedish descent, calls me. And, I grew up in a highly Asian American town in New Jersey, so I had the same, if not more, exposure to Korean and Japanese culture as to Greek culture. I imagine a lot of people actually have more complex identities than we generally talk about.... 📸 Nothing like Black Sesame Paste Soup with Sesame Mochi from Mango Mango Dessert on a wintry day! It's a traditional Hong Kong style sweet dessert soup. :::

I am facing the wind. My hair is whipping around wildly. My eyes are starting to water. Is this adventure? I am trying to find the beauty in the journey. I'm trying to find my Calm in the central of the storm.

I spend wicked winter nights sitting in the bathtub reading about the plague and eating Cabernet cherries.
