Accept the lies their parents told to protect them or risk their lives in the shadowy worlds of diplomats and spies to get justice for the victims of war, including themselves?

Definitely not in Bali anymore 🥴🤦🏻‍♀️😷

[MV Donovan | The Civic Compass @TheCivicCompass]

Lots of creativity flowing after hitting all of my high notes in Bali! Natural beauty, art, food, culture, #diplobrats playing, and, of course, excellent coffee!!

China’s lunar new year spurs the world’s largest human migration. This year, we fled to Bali!

You can borrow a human instead of a book in Denmark.

@KTmBoyle After nearly two years here, we get treated like celebrities for having an elder son and a younger daughter—the culturally “ideal” family. It makes me sad how unattainable that feels for so many here.

Tokyo, Disney, Nagano skiing, Nara, Kyoto & Oooooosaka!

Thank you for a fabulous final R&R and an inspired start to the New Year!

US bound in t-minus 5 months and twenty-eight days!

From the real-life Donovan’s- Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night! 💕 from Japan, and so very ready to be back in the US of A this summer!!

[MV Donovan | The Civic Compass @TheCivicCompass]

@KTmBoyle Just wait… watching the big brother/little sister dynamic is another delight of motherhood. I know you’ll cherish it!

[MV Donovan | The Civic Compass @TheCivicCompass]

Checked another site off the China bucket list! We loved Xi’an for its historical significance, awesome food, and color!

[MV Donovan | The Civic Compass @TheCivicCompass]

Happiest of Thanksgivings to you and yours!

[MV Donovan | The Civic Compass @TheCivicCompass]

@TheLtColUSMC Absolutely and always!

Final Marine Corps Ball overseas in the books!

In the Donovan household, the event is sacred. With both a former Recon Marine and having served in the Embassy communities that the Marines guard, this celebration is an annual act of gratitude & admiration.

Happy 250th birthday!

[MV Donovan | The Civic Compass @TheCivicCompass]

Buoyed to see that not even the shutdown can kill humor and spirit in an Embassy!

Happy Halloween! 🎃

If China and Thailand had a baby that went to school in Japan…we imagine it would look like T🇹🇼

We fled the crush of migrating humanity of China’s Golden Week and explored Taiwan 🇹🇼 .

It wasn’t their National Day 🤣
