Welcome! ASPIRE started as an acrostic for Adoption, Sexual Intimacy, Pregnancy Loss, Infertility, Reproductive Technologies, and Ethics. They are the topics on which I have done the most research and writing—both fiction and nonfiction—but they're just a sampling of the many subjects you'll find. So grab a tall mocha and stay awhile. I'm glad you're here.
I know some very great writers, writers you love who write beautifully and have made a great deal of money, and not one of them sits down routinely feeling wildly enthusiastic and confident. Not one of them writes elegant first drafts. All right, one of them does, but we do not like her very much. We do not think that she has a rich inner life or that God likes her or can even stand her. —Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird
For Christians, whose largest investment is in the invisible, imagination is indispensable. –Eugene Peterson, Under the Unpredictable Plant

Very beautiful slideshow! Thank you for posting these memories! :)
What amazing pics! I especially like the facial expressions in the close up shots.
They say a pic's worth a thousand words. In this case, I'd say you've written a Leon Uris!
Great pictures. And although we went to different nations, I could see so many similarities. Made me want to go back. Now.
My favorite (surprise) is the one of Alexandra "eeewwing" about the giraffe. I just love her!
