For some time now, I have been thinking about the meaning, and impact, of midlife crisis. Is this an emotional state, a physical/hormonal state, or perhaps both? How do these combine? This article is not a study of biology, but it does highlight the importance of the interaction between mind and body, and how they affect each other.

I recently participated in an online teleconference with a group of young people who have been living an expatriate life for some time. The focus of the conversation centred on the theme of 'belonging' and its meaning. Questions such as where do I belong, what do I belong to, what does home mean and where do we anchor our belonging in this world emerged as the common denominator.

I must admit that writing the first article on my blog has been quite a challenge as I wanted it to be special, or at least different from what I usually read elsewhere on the Internet. I promised that my version will be different simply because it emanates from my own uniqueness. This realisation inspired me to write on the theme of 'Identity'.
