After two months of preparing and fundraising the hike is over. 11 hours and 40 minutes of walking and my toes have crossed the finish line. It was tough, my hips hurt, my knees hurt, my shoes are tied too tight, I really want to lose the backpack from my shoulders, and there’s pizza at…

Tragedy has struck. My majesty palm Mervin was diagnosed with a red spider mite infestation this morning and has found himself in the trash. I guess I wasn’t committed enough to try to save him because I just couldn’t handle all the creepy crawly bugs. Farewell. Maybe I’ll get another majesty palm some day.

There’s no greater feeling of rejection than when you are standing at the bus stop and the bus blows right past you. That’s right. That just happened. Picture me standing in full view, in the remaining daylight, waving my arms in the air as a large bus goes speeding past me and off into the…

I wonder if you’re allowed to throw you own birthday party. Do other people do that? I guess it doesn’t really matter what other people do because I already did and it was a blast. I threw myself a brunch party with a frittata, donuts and hash browns. There were flowers and balloons and maybe…

One of my friends recently let me borrow her copy of Love Does. It’s a fabulous book written by Bob Goff as a testament to what it looks like when we wholly and completely love others. I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately – what would it look like to live this way? To…
