Because of my work experience, I learned to respect the role of culture in a person’s life, which was perfect since our family is multicultural.

Oh I loved this Janice! I'm thinking of doing a piece on celebrating New Year from a couple different perspectives - the Vietnamese, Chinese, and our Western cultures. Happy New Year, I wish you much success in 2024 and beyond. Your newsletter is always a highlight for me, thank you for your work and sharing stories with all of us. Best to you.

Janice, I would consider your family an American success story. E pluribus unum.

Hi Don, It certainly wasn't in my plan but it has been such a gift.

Ah, Janice, if only the world could be so broadminded. Culture is what gives this world exciting and fascinating dimension. I think your blended, extended family sounds wonderful. Happy Christmas.
