Miss Bot: Running, dying, and everything in between
http://msbot.blogspot.com/2009/06/running-dying-and-everything-in-between.html
Wednesday, June 3, 2009. Running, dying, and everything in between. I haven't written for awhile, and I have some excuses. One is that I got depressed. I interviewed for and subsequently failed to get a writing-related job-of-my-dreams. This failure, punctuated by two months of unemployment and living off savings, led to many days spent eating Top Ramen and contemplating my existence. My caloric consumption and mental gymnastics made writing much less appealing than sleep. So yay for me. I'm back. June 7...

http://aquavitaecommunity.blogspot.com/2008/08/life-love-and-pursuit-of-growing-up.html
Tuesday, August 19, 2008. Life, Love, and the pursuit of growing up. Hello all, just a quick note before I finish packing for our four day trip to Seattle and then find the peace to settle down and sleep for a few hours before we catch a jet plane to cooler weather. I've been mulling over, and stressing about, and talking about growing up lately. Isn't that wonderful and awful all at once? But something I have pledged to myself is to watch and learn and let life cut away at me, and to allow myself (in sp...

October 31, 2005. I heard the wind and rain pounding against my window last night. It was the kind of storm that keeps you at the surface of sleep and builds itself into brief dreams. Six of seven are in the air today. Disa, Dan, Eric, Karin, Mike, and Laura will land in Uganda on November 2nd. I'll be leaving to join them this coming Saturday. Are you dressing up tonight?

November 30, 2005. My red is better than your red. Remember back in third grade when you first thought, "What if everyone sees different colors, but we learn to call them by the same names? Does not answer that question; however it does provide some interesting science on our varying ability to see colors. And here's a fascinating piece. About body image and the brain. This study could have promising implications for those who suffer from eating disorders. Posted by Erin 8:44 AM. November 28, 2005. Reall...

August 31, 2005. Things in Erin's thoughts- a brief summary. So many are feeling pain and loss from hurricane Katrina. I cannot wrap my mind around the pictures that we are seeing. I am not sure that anyone really believed it could be as bad as this. My heart aches for those that will never see their homes or family members again. This coming weekend is generally accepted as the last weekend of summer. I am not ready for fall. I need three more weeks of 80 weather, and then I will welcome in the ...But n...

Surface Ripple: January 2006
http://surfaceripple.blogspot.com/2006_01_01_archive.html
January 30, 2006. We find ourselves inside. I had a wonderful weekend with my friends from Vibrant. We took time to meditate on our spiritual identity as individuals and as a community. Part of our time together included a guided labyrinth walk and lectio divina. We also used contemporary icons for reflective prayer. I came home feeling rested and encouraged. There was still a dusky glow in the sky when I left work today. The sun had already slid under the horizon, but it wasn't quite. I opened it with a...
