I hope all of you had a happy holiday with your families! I know I enjoyed going home for a few days. I left my computer behind, for a much welcomed break. Now I am back and eager to start planning my goals for 2016. Have you been thinking up any New Year’s Resolutions yet? This […]
Preparing for the New Year {Day 4}
How many of you are like me: on New Years Eve you think of five things on the spot, call them ‘resolutions’ and expect yourself to wake up New Year’s Day with the magical motivation to accomplish them all? Like, I am going to do yoga every morning, I am going to read my Bible […]
Preparing for the New Year {Day 3}
During the weekend, it is easy for routine to be thrown out the window. I notice this especially with my sleeping habits. I stay up late, and sleep in too late. Then, come Monday morning, it is so hard to get out of bed energized and ready for the day. That is why I not only […]
Preparing for the New Year {Day 2}
A cold cup of tea. It happens when you set yourself up for a moment of relaxation but then life happens. What we set out to do gets forgotten quickly and the day is ready to start with out us. We come back home later to a cold little reminder of the good intention we had […]
Preparing for the New Year {Day 1}
Thursday morning, I woke up well before sunrise. I had to be bundled up and ready to milk the cows by 6:30. At other times of the year getting up early is not so hard, but in the winter when it is dark and cold, all I want to do is stay in my warm bed. […]
Wondering what if?
November 3rd, I went with two of my oldest friends, Elizabeth and Erica, to see the Broadway Musical IF/THEN starring Idina Menzel. I absolutely loved the musical. Beginning on the day a woman (also named Elizabeth) arrives in New York to begin a new life; the story divides into two possible outcomes of one simple […]
You can’t take the Seattle out of this girl
You will never know anyone until you ask them where they come from. We are born from our surroundings – the people, culture and locations that we come from influence every part of our being. I grew up in the Seattle area, I bleed ocean and snow capped mountains. I love where I come from, […]
A fishing story
I’ve been thinking a lot about fishing lately: that I know little about it, and that people often relate relationships to it. My dad, probably like yours, has said, “There are plenty of fish in the sea,” in hopes of cheering me up when one slips from the line. I would like to add “the […]
The Wind in My Sails
Finding someone you have a lot in common with is hard, but it’s not impossible. Recently, I met someone I had so much in common with; I thought we would be perfect together. Although it turns out that no matter how well you get along with someone, and no matter how much you have […]
A quarter flying by
It is halfway into the quarter and I haven’t written anything on here for a while. I never realized how quickly life can get busy. The first weekend of the quarter I went to Blakely Island. It was a blast. Once I got into the required classes for my major I finally started making close […]
