We were driving up on the long winding mountain roads. Every turn presented a new breath taking view: the endless green vineyards extending to the horizon, the wavy mountains at the back, the bright orange sun setting inch by inch glowing the entire sky. I rolled down the window. Wow, the fall breeze passing through my fingers felt so good! “Let’s pull over and take a picture!” I said to Jia.

Everything has a beginning. You just need to start. I had been wanting to write and to blog for a long time now, while I was still at Google and definitely since I quit. There was this constant inner voice whispering: write, write and write! But I still did not. It became so annoying being torn between wanting and not doing that I finally decided to have a conversation with…… myself.
