Hello, friends!
First things first — a HUGE, slightly clumsy but deeply heartfelt bow of gratitude to all the new subscribers. Seriously, thank you. Every single one of you. Thank you, thank you, thank you. (Imagine me doing an awkward but enthusiastic curtsy while balancing a coffee cup.)
Life has been a bit... full-on this past week. (Read: a beautiful mess.) So today, I thought I’d give you a little peek behind the curtain — a quick glimpse into what’s been going on in my world. Nothing too deep yet. Just a little "first date" level sharing. Don’t worry, we’ll get to the oversharing-and-laughing-till-we-cry phase very soon.
In the spirit of diving into new things, I’ve just started my language lessons! And let me tell you — it’s humbling. In Vietnamese, the word "mai" can mean about five or six different things depending entirely on your tone. One wrong inflection and you’re either talking about tomorrow or a ghost — no pressure at all.
Next week, we'll jump back into my Tokyo adventures (spoiler alert: chaos continues), but for now, I’m gearing up for the biggest holiday Vietnam has ever seen. It’s going to be wild, and you better believe I’ll be right in the middle of it, wide-eyed and clutching a bánh mì like my life depends on it.
More soon, and seriously — thanks for being here. You guys rock.
Now the building is having a fire alarm.









LOVE & LIGHT:
