Home is where the heart is

Should I be here or should I be here has been a constant internal dialogue for a while now. I have lived in Istanbul since 1997. It is home - but is it where my heart is?

One of the joys of living here is having such delightful days at work as this one was. My Studio Art class were finishing their self portraits - their first major work for the academic year which will be exhibited in Marble Hall, as I do every year. For today's journal I choose one of these young artists as she is drawing herself, drawing herself.
