Being comfortable in our multicultural skin

today I've been doing some thinking and reading about our shared multicultural experiences from childhood. how can we answer the question "where are you from?" when you are not sure of the answer yourself?

I came across a great article by by Barbara F. Schaetti the director of Transition Dynamics (one of the links above) entitled Phoenix Rising: A Question of Cultural Identity I highly recommend that any TCK and Global Nomad read it. It puts into perspective how we view the cross cultural experiences that have shaped us and what our response will be.

The website I found the Phoenix Rising article on is called worldweave . It does not seem to have been been updated it seems since 1997 but the articles there are timeless.
