Bridging the Divide

BySusan Chan

Have you gone out to vote yet? I voted this morning and I have a wonderful ritual on Election day –  a silent and peaceful walk to and from my voting location having the utmost gratitude that I am free from harm and have choices and have my voice heard. I always forget that wonderful…

I hope all of you on the East Coast as well as the surrounding areas are safe and recovering well after Hurricane Sandy. Thankfully my family and I were not seriously affected. The power is out for some of my relatives but that is a tiny inconvenience compared to the hundreds who have lost their…

Glowing from Within

Stairway to Heaven

BySusan Chan

These lovely stairs were designed by APOLLO Architects in their newest building in Kitayama-cho, Fuchu, Tokyo called Ring.

Helping Hands

BySusan Chan

Spring is definitely in the air. Much to retailers’ delight, the unseasonably warm air entices women to window shop and sometimes, ahem, store shop.
