Welcome I am Angela Kim, and I invite you to embark on a deeply personal and transformative journey through my middle years—a period of profound self-discovery where experiences, relationships, and the very essence of my identity intertwine. My story weaves together the threads of resilience, love, and growth, shaped by the extraordinary people who have influenced and shaped my life.

I am a daughter, bearing witness to the complexities of life from a young age. My mother, tragically paralyzed and brain damaged, and my father, grappling with addiction, imparted profound lessons on perseverance and strength. Despite the challenges, I am grateful for the love and care bestowed upon me by my wonderful grandparents and my extended family, whose unwavering support and guidance have left an indelible mark on my soul.

As the oldest of six siblings, I have embraced the role of ‘big sister’. I have navigated the joys and trials of raising two children, who have now blessed me with the joy of being a grandmother to three precious souls. Life has presented its own share of struggles, as my spouse and child both grapple with mental health issues. Yet, it is within these challenges that I have discovered the depths of compassion, empathy, and the resilience of the human spirit.

The concept of a multi -generational household has been a recurring theme throughout my life. From my upbringing in a multigenerational home to the nine years my teenage daughter and her child lived with my husband and me, these experiences have shaped my understanding of the intricate dynamics and boundless love that can flourish within such a framework. These years have taught me the importance of unity, compassion, and the strength that arises from supporting one another through life's unpredictable twists and turns.

Within the pages of this blog, I share snippets of my transformative encounters—the stories of love, loss, resilience, and forgiveness that have shaped my narrative. It is through these experiences and the wisdom gained from relationships that I have unraveled the tapestry of my own identity. I believe that relationships are not only the threads that connect us but also the mirrors that reflect our true selves back to us.

So, join me on this introspective journey as we peel back the layers and embrace the beauty and complexity of the middle years. Together, let us navigate the labyrinth of human connection, drawing inspiration from the extraordinary individuals who have touched my heart and soul. Let us celebrate the transformative power of relationships and honor the growth and wisdom they bestow upon us.

Thank you for joining me on this adventure. I eagerly await the opportunity to share the stories, reflections, and revelations that await us along the way.

With gratitude
