Pearce Family

Who Are We?

We're a family who left behind our suburban lifestyle in the USA to explore the world together and expand our horizons while educating our kids and running an online business. Read more about us.

Playing in the Philippines

For the past several years, I've employed people in the Philippines to help me run my business, including programmers, customer support staff, marketers, content writers, and virtual assistants. But I had never met any of them in person, or even spoken to them on the phone. All our correspondence was via email or chat, and lately, via managers I've hired. I was looking forward to finally meeting ... Read More

Breaking the Barriers of Belief

Last week, I had a few interactions that reminded me how much our attachment to our beliefs can keep us from truth, growth, and freedom. I was surprised at how often we choose comfort over truth, even when it means restriction and repression. And how terrifying it can be to seek truth at all costs. The path to truth isn't always comfortable. Sometimes it's frightenin... Read More

12 Tips for Raising Young Children Abroad

One of our blog readers recently requested to hear Jennifer's perspective on raising young children abroad, along with some tips she's learned in the process. The following post is her reply. Raising our young children abroad for the past three years has been more of a catalyst for learning than I ever would have imagined, and my expectations were already quite high to begin with. It's...

Codependent in Hong Kong

It's been another intense month for me, digging through the recesses of my soul, questioning what I want in life and relationships, and breaking through more barriers that have been holding me back from being myself. I also took a solo business trip to Hong Kong for a few days, and have been working more on building my business structure and systems to handle new growth. I'll tie it all together i... Read More

Gili Islands and Lombok

Living on a beautiful island like Bali doesn't mean that life is always a vacation. We get into routines, meet with friends, take classes, work, and study. I recently gave a piano concert at my house (so much fun!) and the kids are learning and creating much in homeschool. We enjoy our live... Read More

How to Choose a Winning Business Idea

Recently, thanks to some articles I was ...

The Power of Breath

One of the most powerful tools I've discovered for becoming more present and aware of my inner world is "breathing". Everyone breathes, but most people remain consistently unaware of their breath, and of the impact that conscious breathing can have upon emotions, health, and well-being. I think it feels great to yawn, sigh, laugh, and take deep breaths. But I'm finding I can gain more from the ... Read More

Do Emotions Affect the Body?

Doctors have been telling us for decades that stress causes disease. But despite my relatively stress-free life, for the past few years, I've suffered from irritable bowel syndrome. I honestly don't know how long I've had this problem, but it became bad enough to notice after we came back from our South America trip in the Fall of 2011. Once I discovered that having diarrhea 3 times per week wa... Read More

My Confessions and Emotions

As I mentioned in my last post, I've been quieter lately in the online world. The reason, I found, is that I was afraid to be genuine. I've been doing a lot of inner exploration lately, and am discovering things about myself that are painful to admit, even to myself. It's time to come clean, in the name of deeper, richer connections, a fuller self-ex... Read More

Silence

Silence is blissful, distressing, revealing, and difficult to maintain. You may have noticed I haven't written on this blog for over a month. I think that's the longest I've ever gone. I've also been posting less on Facebook and Twitter. When we decided to settle in Bali, I wanted the next year to be one of contemplation, inner growth, and self-discovery. (Yes, even more than usual.) The deeper... Read More
