First, I couldn't believe I was already waking...<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/jallecafe/~4/suBTIIDuDu0" height="1" width="1"/>

Last weekend, it took me back nearly a decade, personally and professionally, as I met-up with one of my closest friends...<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/jallecafe/~4/qhljOmq2FSw" height="1" width="1"/>

I've not been one to stay between the expected lines in life. Didn't become a teacher. Didn't marry my high school boyfriend. Didn't stay close to home or even very close to my home country (other than closely connected to...<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/jallecafe/~4/X9co35bv_uw" height="1" width="1"/>
