Journal writing is a key component to how I express and share my feelings with fellow human beings who may have similar thoughts, but cannot see them clearly.

My name is Nancy Shui Yuan Chen Kerr Perez Baldwin. That’s a mouthful. What a name, what a life, and what a journey. I don’t know about you, but I like to know people by their full names.

The discussion regarded important decision making. His comment to me was, “I had to make a very important decision this past Saturday – do I make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, or do I made macaroni and cheese for my grandson’s lunch?” The comment was thoughtful, yet the sadness in his eyes and lackluster in his voice told me another story.
