The Fenn/Walker reunion
So great to see my co-author Heidi Walker and her family who were visiting the UK on holiday. I’ve known Heidi since college, we graduated together from Randolph-Macon Woman’s College (now Randolph-College) in 1994 but it wasn’t until we wrote our book together in 2013 that I realized just how much we have in common. […]
Chasing Athens
Well it’s half term here in the UK and of course it’s raining! Such a shame after the wonderfully warm weather we’ve recently had. This week is all about juggling. I have a full work schedule, am out two nights this week, holiday club for Jonah, friend meet ups for the older two and a […]
Sneak peek inside Inspiring Global Entrepreneurs
Well it’s here! Arrived when I was out on the school run so had a moment of disappointment thinking it wasn’t coming when my neighbor came over and handed me a package. I acted all nonchalant, closed the door and squealed with delight while I ripped open the packaging. Inspiring Global Entrepreneurs is released to […]

The writing pressure is on… how exciting
I was up most of the night last night thinking/dreaming about the book I’m currently co-writing with Heidi Walker, a fellow American expat who has now repatriated. We’re writing a book called Inspiring Global Entrepreneurs and have now set a deadline for publication. Setting this deadline has done two things to me – stressed me […]
1990 to the present in 40 minutes
Yesterday I had a video Skype interview with a writer for Randolph College in Lynchburg Virginia. This is my alma mater. However, when I was there, it was Randolph-Macon Woman’s College (RMWC). I studied there for 4 years (although part of my junior year I studied abroad in Cortona, Italy) and graduated in 1994 with […]
Make THE DIFFERENCE this spring
Happy first day of spring. Spring in Britain is wonderful. It is Britain’s best season by far. We don’t expect it to be hot so we are not disappointed when it’s not, the trees, bushes and plants begin to blossom which lifts our spirits and makes us smile, and the weather gradually loses its bitter […]
Part 6 – the final Christmas blog of 2012
Being so far away from family is poignant at Christmas time. In a way it is sad, but being able to speak on the phone or Skype or Facebook makes it much easier and in a way helps to take away the sadness and feelings of longing to be with your loved ones at this […]
Would you like to be in my next book?
Did you choose to move abroad or did it just happen? Or was it a decision that was beyond your control? For me, it was my decision to go to Prague to work. I actively wanted to do that despite the depressing conversation I had before I left with the American teacher whose place I […]

Slurping Soup and P.E.T
Depending on where you live in the world, your kids might already be on summer vacation, or summer holiday as it’s called here in England. We still have four weeks until they break up and it always amazes me how little time they actually have off school. It’s only six weeks and by the time […]
