Thanks for reading. We are still in the transition phase back to Ca. so I do not yet have a broad perspective but I do love the dimension that has been added to our lives. Please continue to read.

What a stupendous tale of transition.

I’m far removed from my sudden move to Tokyo in 1981, but this piece brought back the magic. (BTW, that life-shift proved to be the most serendipitous of my life.)

Thanks.

As I catch up on every post, I can’t help but think that you will be famous really soon… a book deal or film in the making, Nandi!

Hi there! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this website? I’m getting tired of WordPress because I’ve had issues with hackers and I’m looking at alternatives for another platform. I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

Thank you for your compliments. We couldn’t find a theme that worked for what I wanted and so my husband constructed this one on Word Press. It wasn’t easy but we are happy with the results. Please keep reading and sharing. Nandi

I am very inspired along with your website as wisely using the structure for your weblog. Is this fact the compensated theme or have you colorize it for you your self? Either way keep up the excellent quality composing, it is uncommon to see an excellent blog such as this one nowadays.

Here is another one that I loved!

7. Do you have children?” she asks, making polite conversation. “Three.” I say, wondering if she is asking me because their big-assed heads have left an indelible birthmark that my husband has been too polite to mention. Why am I here?

Gurlll, you so funny!

Nandi, we have known each other and have been friends for… at least 37 years.

Here are the excerpts that I loved the most:

1. I am a lot of things. I am a filmmaker, I am African American, and I am a mother and a wife. When people ask how I manage a career and a family, I mention with a smile that I don’t do any of it well. I am a writer and I’d like to think I am funny but my children point out that my kind of humor isn’t always funny and sometimes it makes them cry. I remark that making little kids cry is really funny to me.

2. Taj is in charge. In his words he’s ”the boss” and we’re “the applesauce.”

3. After we explained about the benefits of an international experience, new job, and travel to other countries and the tears had not subsided, I decided to make lunch. Perhaps peanut butter and jelly could help with the attitude adjustment.

4. …kept coming up with plans to move into his best friend Jake’s house and Jake’s mother, who was also traumatized by the news kept offering to take him off our hands.

5. Jake’s mom still keeps inviting Khari to move to L.A. with them and we keep trying to explain that we actually want him

6. Just after we arrived, Khari came home from Hindi class and remarked, “You can’t really know a culture without knowing the language.” In such a few days, he was already thinking like a global citizen. I smiled and agreed and I am hopeful that Hindi sounds less foreign to me as the days progress.

Nandi, I (we) love you and anything that is you and yours. Times are hard back here at home though, know that… but home is home and I (we) am/are here to support you and yours an ANY WAY that you need or want. I certainly am, really, know that for real, really.
