This world is not my home

Is it possible to spam your own blog? I’m not sure, but I’ll try anyway. I have a new project.

People who move away from their country or culture of origin to live in another culture for any amount of time will understand what I say when I comment that this is a wonderful, life changing, and sometimes difficult experience. Cross cultual living requires adaptation, a sense of humor, and will cause a person to grow, often in unanticipated ways.

If you have experienced this sort of thing and tried to share your new insights with others who have not, you may have found them to be a bit less excited about your ideas than you had expected. They didn’t mean to frustrate or hurt you, or anything else, they just didn’t understand what you were saying or where you were coming from.

I have started a small niche forum for people who, like me, either live in a culture other than the one that they were born in or that issued their passport, or that have done so previously. If that sounds interesting to you, check it out at http://thisworldisnotmyhome.com/ and see what you think.

If you are not interested, that’s okay. I now return you to your regularly scheduled blog reading and promise not to interrupt further with news on this project (unless, of course, the positive response is truly overwhelming).
