The Journey Begins

Silver Phoenix Woman Diaries

Welcome.

Every life has a beginning, but not every beginning is where the story truly starts.

Mine began on a small island thousands of miles from America ,with dreams much larger than my suitcase.

I left behind family, Familiar streets, and The comfort of everything I had ever known to pursue a medical career in a country I had only imagined. I had no idea that the journey ahead would take me accross America,introduce me to the man who would become my husband ,bless me with children and grandchildren ,challenge me in ways I could never have predicted and ultimately teach me that it is never too late to begin again.

This is not just a story of a physician.

It is the story of an immigrant, a wife, a mother, a cook, and a woman who discovered that life’s greatest lessons often arrive when we least expect them.

Some names and details may be changed to Protect the privacy of those who shared this journey with me,but the emotions , the lessons, and the spirit of these stories are real.

If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to leave everything behind in search of a dream, I invite you to walk this journey with me.

Next time, I’ll tell you about the day I packed my suitcase, said goodbye to my homeland, and boarded a plane that changed the course of my life forever.

Welcome to the beginning.

I am just a simple woman with gray hair and just like a phoenix that symbolizes rebirth and renewal I try to rise stronger from destruction or hardship. I used the Phoenix as symbol for personal transformation overcoming tragedy or starting over. No matter how bad things get renewal is possible. The phoenix is an uplifting symbol of hope.
