About

All of us have dreams, e.g. writing a book, learning a music instrument, taking a dancing class, etc. yet there never seems to be enough time or we often wonder what “exactly” to write, create and what others may think…I’m no exception yet I decided to just start! The best way to learn is to DO & the best time to start is NOW!

I want to write a book. I call it a “1 year book project”. I created a blog. The goal is to write 1 page (300-500 words) a day, choose/ post 3 times a week. It will become a book in a year.

I believe we’re all creative and have interesting, valuable things to share with the world, we just need to START! Also, most of the news are bad news yet most of people are good people, otherwise the world will not exist. Hence, I name my blog / twitter ‘UncoverSpecial’ (uncoverspecial.com) to share kindness, creativity, beauty, joy, and inspiration in our daily life…People and things don’t need to be revolutionary or ground-breaking to be recognized and celebrated. I invite you all to join me to contribute stories, suggest ideas, provide feedback, and share with others ‘UncoverSpecial’ (uncoverspecial.com)!

Also, I want to make “1 year book project” a crowdsourcing/ open access experiment – you, the reader, pay what you see it’s worth. The proceeds, after costs, will become a “dream fund” to support others’ creative project(s). (7/15/19)

I hope the stories bring you a smile, spark an idea, and remind you of the special people and things in your life. I’d love to hear your feedback and dreams… please email: UncoverSpecial@gmail.com! (11/7/20)

*** 2021 update – UncoverSpecial People ***

Happy 2021!

This year, I decided to focus on UncoverSpecial PEOPLE who have brought kindness, creativity, beauty, joy, and inspiration in my life…Even better, these are normal people, just like you, with dream and fear; nobody was born with a silver spoon and few went to Ivy league schools. Neither is in the spotlight yet they are living their own dreams and living up others along the way. I hope you enjoy the stories. You may see yourself in them and/ or think of people in your lives, moreover, be a special person for someone.

If you know ordinary people who are doing extraordinary things, please connect us. I’d love to get to know him or her, hear his/ her story, and add values.

Each of us do our part to create a world we want to live in – making a smarter, healthier, and better world together! (1/1/21)
