the one less travelled by
I recently spent a week in Italy, in what seemed to be the height of tourist season. Tourists, many of them American, were seemingly everywhere. I am not ashamed of being a tourist, nor of being an American — because I am often a tourist, and am definitely American. However, I like […]

As my good friend Kramer says, if it weren’t for guests, my house might never get clean. I’ve been back from Italy for a few days now, but what with things to do and a little jet lag, haven’t gotten around to posting any thoughts from the trip yet. And my buddy from […]

To quote my sister-in-law Jody again, life is choices. We are living the life we have chosen to lead, whether it is overt or not. Not making a choice and letting things happen to you is, in itself, a choice.

my namesake
A few years ago (three?), my friend Julia and I went on a trip to Kenya with a church in Julia’s town. A large group of us visited a remote town in the bush, bringing money and goods that the church had raised to help the town. It was a very rural, […]

When I was in high school, I sometimes drove by the house of a boy I had a crush on. Even though I didn’t talk to him, I wanted to find out more about him so we drove by his house. High school crushes were painful; there was so much love inside of […]

Sometimes life works out so much better than one would have ever expected. The one thing you thought was going to be bad news turns out to be the best opportunity ever. The thing you thought was going to be the top of the tops turns out flopping.
Sometimes, it’s just a matter […]
shine on harvest moon
Wasn’t that Harvest Moon beautiful last night? I learned to love the moon when I lived in Zimbabwe. I lived out in the bush, with no electricity which directly translates to no lights, and no interference with the stars and the moon. It seemed like you could read by the light of […]

Monday I wrote about the stoics, and how the only thing I can control is my reaction to others.
Good friend Theresa again (she figures prominently today it seems) started to write about reality and her almost 2 year old son, and how he is starting to learn how to control his environment. […]
