It's all about the journey. Choosing daily to take the road less traveled. Friday, July 25, 2008. A Cubs loss and a dead car. I went into the city today to enjoy a cubs game but unfortunately. I watched the cubs loose and when I went to leave the ball park my car was completely. Dead Lately, I have been challenged a lot to intentionally. Wednesday, July 23, 2008. I pray that as I grow older I always make quality time with friends. No matter what life brings or how busy things get, I pray that every m...

It's all about the journey: A day at the green box and then back to the streets
http://deborahbenjamin.blogspot.com/2009/06/day-at-green-box-and-then-back-to.html
It's all about the journey. Choosing daily to take the road less traveled. Saturday, June 20, 2009. A day at the green box and then back to the streets. Later that afternoon there was a concert back at the blue box. Our students were able to perform and once again did a fantastic job. The team from frontline. Has some incredible talent and between their dancing, the band, and their singers, the concert was a huge success. Millionaire" I think I would be nervous if any random person could take kids. A day...

ob.ser.va. tion: on my mind
http://charissaholland.blogspot.com/2009/10/on-my-mind.html
Sunday, October 11, 2009. It has lately become a habit of mine that while driving home from class (in Chicago, 3 nights a week.) I think about topics to potentially blog about. So I do have some fun ones in store, people. Let me know you're reading; it makes me feel bad when I don't post. I was taken aback by this. Mystified. Slightly appalled. I walked by in a hurry, trying not to look in that direction, but not really being able to help it.kind of like a train wreck. I think I am beginning to understan...

ob.ser.va. tion: goodwill to men
http://charissaholland.blogspot.com/2009/11/goodwill-to-men.html
Wednesday, November 18, 2009. And sometimes this may be true. But I wonder if we are being called to rise above the cynicism and offer goodwill for the sake of goodwill. If humanity as a whole would rise up and reach out to the downtrodden, perhaps they would be taken care of. Perhaps we could effectually achieve a glimpse of social justice. And then I keep walking. Arent these people hungry in May as well? Dont the children of prisoners need attention in March? November 21, 2009 at 9:54:00 PM CST. Decem...

ob.ser.va. tion: the art of dying
http://charissaholland.blogspot.com/2009/10/art-of-dying.html
Wednesday, October 28, 2009. The art of dying. I couldn't help thinking to myself, seeing the world going up in a flame of color, that trees really know how to die. They have perfected the art of dying in a blaze of glory, and if I have to die, that's how I would prefer to go. We die in so many ways.the old dying slowly and softly, fading into shadows of themselves, while the trees set themselves ablaze, daring us not to notice their descent into winter. October 28, 2009 at 3:15:00 PM CST. We are falling...

We haven't done anything like this since I was 11 years old. I guess you could say a lot has changed since then. Here are a few shots of the family. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

ob.ser.va. tion: these are a few of my favorite things
http://charissaholland.blogspot.com/2009/10/these-are-few-of-my-favorite-things.html
Wednesday, October 21, 2009. These are a few of my favorite things. I became an English major primarily because I have a sick obsession with books. The book that started it for me? Anne of Green Gables, in 3rd grade. It turns out there is an entire. Of those books, so that kept me going for a while. Admitting you have a problem is the first step. 13 The Neverending Story. By Michael Ende. Again, if you think you know enough about this story because of the terrible 1980s movie(s) loosely based on Mich...
