After taking part of the summer off to spend time with my family, I’m happy to be back blogging to celebrate year one of this blog. Ok, so it’s technically still a few weeks away but I just couldn’t wait to get an early start on year two.
Stepping away from my work-life for a few weeks has been wonderful. My 20-month old daughter is growing-up so quickly. I do look forward to the day when she will be able to participate as a guest blogger and share her unique worldview on international events.
Spending time with her this summer has taught me things about the world I might have otherwise overlooked but for this brief vacation from my hectic daily life.
I hope the insight and wisdom I have gained has made me a better listener and by extension—a better writer.
I look forward to another amazing year of blogging about the latest international developments and trends.
If you enjoyed year one, you’re really going to love year two!
Enjoy the rest of the summer.
