Happy February! Happy Black History Month!
I absolutely love this month. I love celebrating Black History – And Black-Present-Right NowNess – There is still lots of good happening in the midst of this imperfect and troubled world that we live in. I am looking forward to sharing lots of history and lots of good that is happening currently.
Why is this month so important? It is important for so many reasons, but I love it because it honors the leaders past and present who have made such an impact on the Black Community and the world as a whole. This month takes us beyond history books – which often are incomplete – it brings us together – and it helps us to understand and realize the importance of our stories. This month is needed. The hope is that what is experienced and the conversations that happen this month continue on in the other eleven months of the year. That conversations are started and change occurs.
I am looking forward to a great month celebrating all that who have paved the way and all that is happening now. I love the celebrations and social media shares that happen this month. It’s absolutely beautiful
Please reply and share your favorite moment in Black History! I would love to know.

It’s pretty awesome celebrating the new year two times. Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year here in China. Yesterday I did some exploring in Shanghai and was able to walk across the Yuandang Bridge at the end of the city where Shanghai Province meets Jiangsu Province and hung out in two places at once. Here’s a picture from that adventure and a link to the article about that bridge (https://www.designboom.com/architecture/brearley-architects-urbanists-bau-yuandang-pedestrian-bridge-shanghai-01-28-2022/).

Of course, I hope that you are doing well and I am so glad you are following my expat adventures!

The kindergarten teacher in me loves a good read aloud. Hope you enjoy this one.
