Story of My Life: Add a Little Honey
Although I make some interesting food, at times I seem to get stuck in a rut of making the same food over and over again. Repetition tends to remove the excitement from a once exotic or interesting dish after a few times of making it in rapid succession. Once I find something that works – [...]
Story of My Life: Alliteration Party
My friend Elaine sent me a Facebook invitation and a text a few days ago inviting me to a special party at her house, Prophetic Potato Soup Party (did you catch the alliteration?). She is leaving for Haiti for 3 months in a couple of weeks and wanted to gather a few girls who are [...]
Story of My Life: Latta Park with the Artists
This morning I awoke to rain with a prayer for sunshine on my lips because today was the day of the Winter Picnic. You might laugh reading that if you know the weather has been like recently (think upper 70s to low 80s) but when we planned the picnic it was still cold out. We [...]
Story of My Life: Multidimensionality
Recently I’ve had several conversations with people about the pros and cons of being a multi-dimensional, multi-talented, multi-tasker. The question raised is whether or not you can truly be pursuing more than one genre at a time and be good at any of them. Thus far the conclusion that I’ve come to is that, like [...]
Story of My Life: The Estonian
Yesterday we got a new housemate named Hanna-Liisa! We’ve been down to two in our house of four since the beginning of the year when two of our roomies migrated North for jobs and new beginnings. Hanna is a student at MSU and we are excited to get to know her better! She’s returning our [...]
Story of My Life: New Friends & New Flavors
I’m still out in the boonies at my grandparents house, which is an amazing and lovely place to be! Today I had quite a full day with them between church in the morning, lunch with them & my aunt & uncle in the afternoon, then hanging out with some new friends in the evening. Have [...]
Story of My Life: To Grandmother’s House I Go
Through my growing up years I always wanted to live near our extended family and experience all of the big family things such as big holiday meals and other family celebrations together. Although we’ve never lived near them since the time I was a little girl the Lord has always provided sweet “adopted” family to [...]
Story of My Life: A Walk & A Salad
We had another gorgeous day today! I finished working at 5:00pm, first week of new job done! I got in my car and the temperature was just perfect to drive home with the music blasting out the open windows. After I got home I was immediately torn between being really hungry and wanting to get [...]
Story of My Life: Flip Flop
It’s that time of year again, time to bust out the flip flops, tank tops, skirts, summer dresses, and sunscreen. We’re not quite fully there yet but we’re well on our way. Today I was going to try to meet a friend and her kids at a park near where I was working so I [...]
Story of My Life: Delicous Light
There are days when I could just eat the light it looks so delicious. Today was one of those days. I tried to capture a taste of it for you but I’m not sure how successful I was. I’m not necessarily looking forward to the heat and humidity coming but the light, ah the light, [...]
