the alabaster jar: April 2009
http://theallabasterjar.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 25, 2009. So at the anti-slavery organization i work for, love146. We have this term we call the collective shout. it is one of the things that we think needs to happen for this horror to end. we define it as one voice added to another added to another getting a bit louder and a bit stronger until all that is heard everywhere is "ABOLITION and RESTORATION.". Both organizations i am extremely grateful exist and got some $ friday . kids need clean water and deserve a beautiful, sparklin...

the alabaster jar: April 2010
http://theallabasterjar.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 21, 2010. Happy with a limp. So, we have been here 1 month. I can’t really believe it. I don’t know why i haven’t written more. this first month in uganda has been….hard. I guess there is no other way to really say it. i have thought about writing something and beginning to share life here but each time i sit down to write i just can’t. There are so many stories to tell…. 8230;the one about the intricacies of furniture making. How chasing butterflies, drawing in the dirt and dying easter...

the alabaster jar: May 2009
http://theallabasterjar.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 31, 2009. To be a mother. Maybe it's because i have been traveling so much.maybe it's because life is finally starting to settle into reality here.maybe its because my son is so freakin cute.maybe it's just because. And now here is the catch.i think that is isn't what is actually. Kimbal and i have been thinking that there has to be another way. we want to take this dual responsibility of parenting and raising children seriously. we both. What could it look like?

the alabaster jar: November 2009
http://theallabasterjar.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, November 28, 2009. We were in the city again last weekend. I was down there for work, helping out with a church service and then we wanted to see Emma Thompson’s exhibit “Journey.”. Along the way we got to catch up with an old college friend, Marg and then get some good family time: just me and my two boys. On the way back to the car from a long day we decided to spend a little extra time in the city and walk the Brooklyn Bridge. It had been a gorgeous day. It was a beautiful moment. I thought ...

the alabaster jar: January 2010
http://theallabasterjar.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 18, 2010. So I have been doing a lot more yoga lately. I started going to this studio. When we first arrived in new haven and I have really liked it. The mat has turned into this space where i have been able to escape, think and have some time for self reflection. Combining breath and movement, mediation in motion…it helped me gain some new eyes along the way this year. In practice a few weeks ago i noticed something about myself. Then i would get tired. I too have noticed the same patter...

the alabaster jar: August 2009

Monday, August 17, 2009. And he replied, "oh, this article about UAV's and killing the taliban.". Now, i have seen the movies. i guess i live in some strange world where i just think that most everything i see on tv isn't actually happening. up until this point that's what i thought about little machines running around, fighting our battles for us. we chatted a few minutes about the article and left it at that. We are going to be fighting this war, shouldn't we. Friday, August 14, 2009. There have been m...

the alabaster jar: Great Expectations!
http://theallabasterjar.blogspot.com/2010/02/great-expectations.html
Friday, February 26, 2010. Day 40. Complete. Just finished, it’s 9:47pm in this beautiful snowy New England town. I pictured what this night would look and feel like. The culmination of the 40-day yoga challenge, but, also the end of an amazing year here in New Haven. I pictured how I would feel and what it would be like to walk out of Peg’s 6:15 Hot Power Practice… The Friday night class is one of my favorites. Candles, music, some amazing people, and it generally kicks my butt in a good way. I am eager...

the alabaster jar: October 2009
http://theallabasterjar.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 28, 2009. I need a glass of wine.i have a headache.my mind is racing.my heart huts.and i feel sick. Was sent out in the office (it is about a 15 year old girl who was gang raped for 2 hours outside her school dance while nearly 20 bystanders stood by and did nothing). i read it at my computer and i immediately felt overwhelmed, teary, mad. with each sentence my heart broke and questions arose. granted, working for a. HOW CAN THIS ACTUALLY HAPPEN? HOW CAN WE BE SO FAR OFF? What do we do?

the alabaster jar: If this week were a long practice, KICK ME OFF THE MAT!
http://theallabasterjar.blogspot.com/2010/02/if-this-week-was-long-practice-kick-me.html
Wednesday, February 10, 2010. If this week were a long practice, KICK ME OFF THE MAT! It’s snowing outside. All yoga classes were canceled today. Crazy, but you would think the east coast never gets snow! You would think this because EVERYTHING shuts down at the site of a few flakes. School is canceled. We got let off work early. Stores close. Anyway, SO NOT THE POINT…. As I was saying, there is snow and yoga is cancelled. Once again I wound up doing yoga in the kitchen tonight. Day 24/40! In my thoughts...
