Writing connects us to ourselves, our friends and family, to people who know us and it creates new contacts, with some luck, maybe even far into the future.
This is why I encourage my kids to write and I am enjoying reading their stories. Here are their blogs:
Tưởng nhớ đến người đã tạo ra tôi. Lòng này luôn nhớ đến ông. Yên nghỉ Ba nhé.
A while ago Pooja Saxena reached out to me about a project she was working on. She was doing research “to document different models of handwriting that are taught to primary school students around the world.” Unfortunately, I couldn’t help her with that. I referred her to someone else. I am glad to see some information on handwriting education in Vietnamese.
As she sends sixth graders off to middle schools, the Laurel Ridge Elementary School principal encourages students to limit their screen time. Check out her short, inspiring message.
Deborah J. Cohan, writing at Psychology Today:
In the process of writing, we clarify our thinking. Often, writing helps us come to know what we know, to discover our argument and to make plain our feelings. When words are translated from our minds to the page, we communicate as only writers can, helping readers discover what we know, make the analytical connections we have discovered, understand the theories we propose, and wrestle with the conclusions we draw.
The process of writing is about entering a conversation—first in our own minds and then ultimately with readers. Being a writer is about having the courage and conviction to dare to be part of a larger conversation. It’s about deepening and extending that conversation by generously offering our distinct angles of vision. When we think about writing like this, it is much more about the opportunity to engage with others to influence the discussion.
This is why I enjoy writing even though I am not a writer.

Hi, Your website is absolutely amazing!
My daughter dragged me to Áo Dài Trắng À Ơi. (she has just completed a degree in costume-making) and I do understand why it raised her interest.
Biển Nhớ brought back so many memories, back to the time I worked as a volunteer in Pulau Bidong refugee camp. As a member of Pulau Bidong Alumni, I guess your piece might be of great interest to lots of former refugees who are trying to revive the story of their puzzled childhood. Do you mind if I add a link to your website?
Thanks again for sharing your interests with us and … don’t worry if blogging is no longer a priority … sure little Công Đạo deserves it! And it will take some time before my husband and I finish exploring your Ali Baba’s cave!
