Hi Everyone! Wonderful to have you with us. This month we talk to: Terry Hawkins, a successful entrepreneur currently making her mark on the U.S. speaking circuit; adventurer Natalie Sisson, a former New Zealand body sculpting champion who now runs a six-figure business from her traveling suitcase; and Jennifer Wilson, author of the new book, Running Away to Home.

Thanks for our new articles go to: Beverley Hamilton, for Take Control of Your Life by Taking Control of Your Time; and Sue Lane, for Caring for Aging Parents Back Home: The Expat Dilemma. Feeling a little lost as an expat partner abroad? Then this month's Expat Confession, I Need More Than Coffee, might just be for you.

Speaking of confessions, if you have not yet done so, we invite you to download a sample from our motivational book, Expat Women: Confessions –– 50 Answers to Your Real-Life Questions about Living Abroad. Here's what Ruth E. Van Reken, co-author of Third Culture Kids: Growing Up Among Worlds, thought about our book: "What a great book! For the first time, a real-life manual that will reassure every expat woman that she is not alone in her unspoken feelings and questions. I loved it!"

Finally, this month marks our 5th birthday online! Thank you so much for your support all these years. Please continue to share our website with your friends and expat communities.

Thanks and best wishes for 2012,

Expat Confession
I Need More Than Coffee
Extract from Expat Women: Confessions
We have been here for six months and I cannot believe how lost and dissatisfied I feel as a non-working professional woman. I am shocked and embarrassed to feel this way, as I genuinely thought I would get enough stimulation from my surroundings, supplemented by the local expat club activities. However, I realise now that I need more than coffee...

Winning Story
The Mango Thieves
Katie, A Brit in Antigua
One morning whilst washing up and reminiscing over what I would have been doing if I had been back in the U.K., and trying to figure out how I was going to occupy the next eight hours until my husband got home, I devised a daily modular system as a way to cope, but that story is for another day. So, there I am gazing out the window when I see something large fly past the window, followed by raucous laughter and shouting...
