Paris, October 2009, our 1st anniversary

A little over 8-years ago, Sabine and I met in the dungeon that was The Peak student newspaper offices at SFU, our alma mater. There’s really no way that either of us could have predicted where we’d be and what we’d have done 8-years later. All I know is that the road we’ve gone down has had ups and downs, but I’ve travelled it with the love of my life. Our current spot on the road: married, living in Berlin and little Luisa as our partner in crime.

Here’s to Sabine - the best wife, mother to Luisa and so much more. I love you.

An amazing letter and story. I hope it’s true.

In August of 1865, a Colonel P.H. Anderson of Big Spring, Tennessee, wrote to his former slave, Jourdan Anderson, and requested that he come back to work on his farm. Jourdan — who, since being emancipated, had moved to Ohio, found paid work, and was now supporting his family — responded spectacularly by way of the letter seen below (a letter which, according tonewspapers at the time, he dictated).

Rather than quote the numerous highlights in this letter, I’ll simply leave you to enjoy it. Do make sure you read to the end.

sabine: Owning the "Stay at home Mom" thing:

sabine:

I don’t refer to myself as a stay-at-home-mom. Maybe its the embarrassing use of the SAHM acronym. Maybe its because I still have a toe in my career, albeit in a motherly fashion. Maybe its because my generation of women was raised being told “You can be anything” so we feel like we have to be…

Proud of this stay at home Mom.

sabine:

Do you like to follow people’s adventures in far away places? Do you like talented photographers who post photos they actually took themselves? Then you should follow daninkenya. Dan and I worked together very briefly before we moved to Berlin. He’s now a teacher with a documentary-making program based in Dresden. Right now, as part of the program, he’s in Africa, making a documentary and using his talents to share his trip with everyone. Here is a photo of a night they did of projecting photos in a village near Bungoma.

So yeah, you should follow daninkenya. You’re dashboard will be richer for it.
