Cookies for Emergencies: The Birds Series
http://keepacookie.blogspot.com/p/birds-series.html
Those that know me know that I have an irrational fear and hatred of birds. (Actually, I think it's perfectly justified! You might ask. There are a number of traumatic experiences to point to and, in an attempt to bring some levity to your day, I'm chronicling as many of those moments as I can remember. Here's the full list, updated as new stories are published. A weaver bird and it's unique hanging nest. Birds, not just your feathered friends. The Birds Series: The Chase. The Birds Series: The Feeding.

Cookies for Emergencies: GOOOAAAAALLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
http://keepacookie.blogspot.com/2010/06/goooaaaaallll.html
Thursday, June 24, 2010. The photos below are from my time in Ivory Coast, but pilfered from the college website from someone who had access to a scanner.). A typical day of gathering crops. And spent our time talking with families, learning about the daily routines and, on Sunday, joining the community in dancing the pastor to the church and home again. Everyone dresses in white to minimize any differences in class, race, social standing. And the outcome of each game is extremely important! To the field...

Cookies for Emergencies: Vision
http://keepacookie.blogspot.com/2015/01/vision.html
Monday, January 26, 2015. Sometimes things fall into place through absolutely no fault of your own. Because your vision was rather dim and murky with a vague label of "survival" haphazardly pasted on top. And the greater vision is deeper, harder and more nuanced and beautiful than anything conceived in a mere human brain. Our support network has expanded in ways that feel bigger than mere numbers. The days are busy, so, so busy, can I say busy 50 more times just to emphasize how busy it all feels? Blogs ...

Cookies for Emergencies: August 2014
http://keepacookie.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 29, 2014. If you're not a Buffy fan we should have a serious discussion about your life choices. However, that's not the point of this particular post.). During my last year of high school I cried myself to sleep every night during the month of March. I was leaving home for college that coming September and mourned in anticipation. And then I mourned again when I actually got there, for all of the same reasons and for all new ones too. Pause in the breath between then and now.

Cookies for Emergencies: Perseverance, Sweat, and Pride
http://keepacookie.blogspot.com/2014/09/perseverence-sweat-and-pride.html
Monday, September 22, 2014. Perseverance, Sweat, and Pride. Six months ago I listed a bunch of activities that The Princess could choose from to participate in. Much to my surprise she chose Karate. Upon arrival at her first lesson (at the business closest to our home, because I wasn't going to drive a long ways on a whim! Unbeknownst to me, I signed up for the family plan. The family plan that included free classes for parents. "Oh, that's a nice," I thought. Oh, you've never heard of it? At the end we ...

Cookies for Emergencies: March 2014
http://keepacookie.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 28, 2014. My mom is sick. Look both ways at the cross walk and get hit by a truck anyway sick. I’m scared. Scared to think, scared to feel, scared not to. My mother is my First. My first sound was her heartbeat. My first movement was the sway of her walk. My first touch was the warmth of her body. There is a connection that can’t be severed by time, distance, or independence. A cellular connection, a oneness with the feelings of the other. She is my only. Links to this post. Words to live by.

Cookies for Emergencies: Don't Drown
http://keepacookie.blogspot.com/2014/10/dont-drown.html
Monday, October 13, 2014. I have been systematically dismantling the safe structures around me; the visible and unseen. Once I said "I want to be comfortable, but not too comfortable. I think we should actively look to disrupt our lives." Then I took my words literally. So, if I ever am quiet and still, don't be fooled. It's mass chaos inside my head. Words to live by. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Probably not but it seemed like fun idea at the time! View my complete profile. Words to live by.
