I'm the youngest of six children; both of my sisters are housewives and they each have four kids.
I pray. I try to find space to process with a walk on the beach, a hike in the hills. Nature is restorative. I also try not to overreact. I grew up in Ireland, and we are big tea drinkers, and I think it's less about the tea itself and more about the ritual and the moment to prepare.
A smile costs about $240.
It is tradition in Ireland that you're given money for your first communion.
I have morning prayers and a nighttime reflection. I also read the Bible daily.
I think Operation Smile is in more than 22 countries, mostly Third World. It just happened that my schedule opened up at the time they were heading to Vietnam.
