I co-facilitated a workshop in Zambia this week with twenty refugee children.

The  moment I saw their internal spark come alive was during the digital storytelling session that I was leading on. 

The objective of the session was to teach the power of storytelling to influence positive change in their communities. 

It was really wonderful to watch their creativity thrive, as they tackled their projects. 

I wanted to write about this on the blog because I too am a creative at heart. 

For the last ten years of my career I have been allowed to demonstrate this through copy writing, photography, graphic design and video editing. 

I have been paid to do the very things that delighted me as a child; tell stories and make things!

I have made a professional career  doing the very things that I thought would remain hobbies for the rest of my life!

And some how over the last four years, there have been opportunities to teach children and young people to nurture these same skills that I thought were worthless when I was a mere naïve teenage! (Dear creative community, forgive me for my thoughts I was young🙈)

I am grateful.

I've  worked hard. 

I've  found joy.

Ultimately, God put me in those spaces. 

God showed me that this was possible.

I am now moving to another country to do the same....to be creative...how!?

I am am so grateful.  

Thank you God for showing me that my existence and purpose is relevant. 

Thank You for showing me my place in this large and interesting world.

Sometimes I forget but You never miss an opportunity to remind me.

Each Episode Had Its Own Story. 

From Episode One We Connect

Facing One's Demons 

Wow....

Just wow...

I am not quite so sure if I enjoyed Glitch but I can confirm that I appreciated that it is different.

It's not cute.

Don't watch it if that's what you are looking for.

Where do I even begin?

This intriguing #kdrama was directed by Roh Deok and written by Gin Han-sai.

 It stars Jeon Yeo-been and Nana

Our heroines are not adorable and likable. They are odd and ordinary at the same time. 

This is kind of cool; so marks for writing such characters.

I just finished watching Jeon Yeo-been in Vincenzo and have to say that the fact that she can play such separate characters shows she has raaaaaange as an actress.

The boyfriend(Lee Dong-hwi)...the catalyst for the story....the Helen of Troy...is not a handsome-catch that would require one to risk their life but off Ji-hyo goes risking her sanity searching for him only for them to break up at the end. (I don't mean he's ugly...I just got used to the #kdrama status quo)

Even our -favorite-regular-lovable-father- actor Jean Bae-soo is not lovable in this one.  I am shocked... It is not a bad performance though, he is believable as always. 

Fortunately our cult-leader villain, Baek Joo hee is committed through and through, her character delivers.

They all deliver. I think it is just the story and storytelling for me.

I don't even know how to structure this blog post cause I am soooo confused. 

Wow.

Just wow.

You can watch it on Netflix here

Comment below if you have your thoughts together about this drama. 

We need clarity.
