Hi Jessamyn,

As a teacher in China sometimes you get to name children. Well, give them English names. So tonight at a restaurant a young girl was drawn to me at the prodding of her English speaking aunt. I asked if she had an English name. When the answer was negative I then asked if she’d like me to giver her one. When she replied, “yes!” I quickly came to the decision to name her Jessamyn. I told her it was a special name and that it wouldn’t be common. I assured that it was a good name for lovely, smart girls. BTW, she is 5.

I give you, Jessamyn.

    What a cutie! I can’t wait until she’s old enough to google her English name — I hope she finds herself.

    What a lovely note!

    It’s a shame that the picture triggered something that my at-work web filter (don’t get me started) blocked.

    Of course it’s true that the name is a special one.

    love and peace.
