This Evanescent Life: Getting Where I Need to Be
http://www.evanescentliving.com/2013/08/getting-where-i-need-to-be.html
Tuesday, August 6, 2013. Getting Where I Need to Be. The beautiful Mt. Hood and the Columbia River, as seen from my window as I flew to Bozeman. This post was originally meant to go up last Tuesday, but computer problems prevented that from happening. So, one week later, I can share the news: I'm coming home to Oregon, today. Here in Montana. Just one day later, that was all a bunch of crap. You ask. My life - a daunting task, and perhaps an impossible one; after all, I'm only 21! I've been so focused on...

This Evanescent Life: Good Things
http://www.evanescentliving.com/2012/09/good-things.html
Saturday, September 22, 2012. It took a couple days, but the sun is out again (both literally and figuratively). As odd as it may sound, I think I dipped because. Of all the good things happening in my life. It was a good reminder: I can't go-go-go like I used to. If I want to keep my energy up, I have to pace myself. I have to be kind to myself. And there's so much to savor! I'm stoked for school to start again; in fact, I already have my first reading assignment for my Causes of War class! This year's ...

This Evanescent Life: New Year, New Post, New[ish] Me
http://www.evanescentliving.com/2012/01/new-year-new-post-newish-me.html
Tuesday, January 3, 2012. New Year, New Post, New[ish] Me. A blurry, though arguably artistic-looking, photo I took of the first sunrise of 2012. We were driving down the road at the time, which is why it came out so blurry. Well, hello there! Happy Halloween (even though I hate that "holiday"), Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa, and Happy New Year! That should cover all the major holidays since I was last on, I think; if I missed any, let me know.). You'll notice that my...

This Evanescent Life: The After-Christmas Lull
http://www.evanescentliving.com/2012/12/the-after-christmas-lull.html
Wednesday, December 26, 2012. There has been agreement from family members and friends that Christmas didn't feel like Christmas this year. That it was too early, or something was off, or just not right. Perhaps it's because of the endless stream of tragedy blaring from the evening news; perhaps it's because of the weather. I don't know. We take turns picking the theme; my Grandma chose first, since it was her idea, and she chose "Ornaments." I picked "Books" for the second year (shocker, right? December...

This Evanescent Life: overwhelmed
http://www.evanescentliving.com/2013/03/overwhelmed.html
Wednesday, March 20, 2013. Too much to do. Not getting enough sleep. The sun is shining. Spring break is almost here. Body will get much-needed sleep. Soul will be nourished by joy of Holy Week. Mind can be at peace. I keep repeating: " Progress, not perfection. And " Jesus, I trust in you. I know I'll always. Be busy and stressed, but I look forward to seeing my psychiatrist (yup, I'm not ashamed to say I have a psychiatrist) on Friday to hopefully solve the problem of my inability to sleep. That. It's ...

This Evanescent Life: Life Without Facebook
http://www.evanescentliving.com/2013/02/life-without-facebook.html
Monday, February 25, 2013. One of the things I gave up for Lent. This year is Facebook. I deleted the app from my phone and iPad, and aside from posting links to new blog posts, I am not checking my page, my newsfeed, or stalking friends of friends in my spare time (y'all know you do it too, so don't judge). It's been a couple weeks now, and I thought I'd write about the five things I miss most about Facebook. Severing that connection) has been incredibly freeing. Life without Facebook isn't miserabl...

This Evanescent Life: November 2013
http://www.evanescentliving.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 14, 2013. Staying Afloat in a Leaky Boat. The photo above is an old one, but one of my favorites. Its the view from my bedroom window at home, and the magnificent oak tree that I always wanted to build a treehouse in. Its a rather striking juxtaposition, no? The bright blue sky to the left and the dark grey clouds to the right. Like my life, it seems. Always teetering between happy normalcy and overwhelming depression. Ive reread my last post.

This Evanescent Life: From My Cookbook: Harry Potter's Apple Crumble Pies
http://www.evanescentliving.com/2012/09/from-my-cookbook-harry-potters-apple.html
Thursday, September 6, 2012. From My Cookbook: Harry Potter's Apple Crumble Pies. I don't bake as often as I would like to, primarily because baking results in a delectable treat that I can't just sit and eat a huge helping of. Once a week, or every couple of weeks, I do like to try out a new recipe and share the results with my roommates. A couple weeks ago, I whipped up some yummy apple pies/tarts from The Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook. The author, Dinah Bucholz, does a fabulous job of connecting ea...
