Defining Moments: May 2010
http://definingmoments313.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 23, 2010. Over time, confidence enters their young life and they grow into adulthood reaching to find old comfort in bank accounts, circles of friends or bands of gold. I’m hopeful – ever hopeful – that one day, I will no longer need a physical reminder of the love of God and His faithful security. Sunday, May 16, 2010. Sometimes people are lizards passing themselves as mice- running through life in disguise from themselves and others. Using their sharp tongues to hurt and inflict pain...

Defining Moments: March 2010
http://definingmoments313.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 28, 2010. My dirty secret is that I don’t like spring. For a nature girl, I should be into budding leaves and flowering plants. I should be eager to walk in the woods, through creeks and see life ablaze in rainbows after spring storms. I am. However, spring is also awash with past failures and a list of projects. Do I really need a closet filled with perfect wicker baskets lined with matching floral prints to feel better about myself? Hmmmm….it’s working. I just remember...Not caring about ...

Defining Moments: August 2010
http://definingmoments313.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 22, 2010. Thumb Rings and White Gloves. What I do know is that it feels good to have discovered someone who owns both white gloves and jangly bracelets and earrings. A friend, who lived on a farm, loves her own thumb ring and suns at the pool. She is a Mercedes driving, free-spirited woman who lives life on her own terms and wears her hair as she pleases and would be perfectly comfortable lunching at my organization’s meeting. Monday, August 16, 2010. Just in case none of these things work...

Defining Moments: November 2010
http://definingmoments313.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 28, 2010. As Thanksgiving draws to a close, memories fall gently through my mind floating as stray leaves in the air until landing without sound. Random thoughts scattered in the breezes of past holidays give pause to the darkening sky on the eve of a new day. In the still, I remember loved ones and past holidays filled with friends and family beckoning to my heart with soft voices. Monday, November 22, 2010. What can we do to prepare for those moments? Perhaps the answer starts with eac...

Cotyledon: New postings!
http://cotyledonblog.blogspot.com/2010/05/new-postings.html
Wednesday, May 12, 2010. I have been um, really distracted the last few weeks. What with the wedding and all. BUT. I have about 40 (no, really- 40) blog posts all lined up and ready to go. Sorry for the technical issues with the lining up pictures and texts in some previous posts- I'm still figuring out how to format this stuff. Now, as soon as I can get over the worries about what my random collection of posts will look like to other people (too consumerist? We'll be off and running! Post, woman, post!

Cotyledon: April 2010
http://cotyledonblog.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 23, 2010. How, then, are these blogs any different than Martha Stewart or Dwell or any other Aspirational Lifestyle media? Jezebel: The New Decornographers: Bloggers With Beautiful Craftsy Lives. Here are my some of my crafty/lifestyle "inspiration" sites:. Ink on My Fingers. Links to this post. Thursday, April 1, 2010. Ummm, no thanks. Post this morning about her no-ass swimsuit woes. And by the fact that it's supposed to be in the 80s (80s! Doesn't really scream "fun in the sun! Ummm, no ...

Defining Moments: February 2010
http://definingmoments313.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 28, 2010. We can choose more than what to wear, when to eat and whether or not to exercise. We can alter and shape destinies. With our thoughts and actions building upon days and forming years, friends, and families, we create a life built upon our choices. We create a life that one day will be left as a legacy and remembered in captured moments. Let us choose wisely. Sunday, February 21, 2010. Beam me up, Scotty. 8221; Beam me up NOW. Do some of us have damaged DNA chains? I represent a...

Defining Moments: February 2011
http://definingmoments313.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 27, 2011. But how prepared are we for disasters that don’t come with sirens and notice? And what are the definitions for disasters? I’m tired of planning for might be. I’m tired of catastrophizing. I’m just plain tired. And so my emergency plan is now to move forward secure with life lessons rather than armed with cases of green beans. I will focus on skills instead of purchases of beef jerky, vegetable seeds and solar powered showers. My new preparedness tools begin with kindness. I ask...

Defining Moments: October 2010
http://definingmoments313.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 31, 2010. These unwelcome guests have made themselves at home. Let's plan on their quick departure and I'll write again on November 7. Sunday, October 24, 2010. Sunday, October 17, 2010. I can’t tape happiness in the scrapbook binder or paste love on its pages. I won’t attempt to capture dreams and contain them under the hard covers. What I can do is live life to the fullest and along the way find mementos to help me remember not what I did, but how I felt during these...I wish I were the...

Books on Long Distance Relationships. Stress, trauma, resilience, and humanitarian work. Finding a job in humanitarian work. Friendly Companions from Siberia. Friendly Companions from Siberia. On Sep 20, 2010 in Funny. Gone With The Wind. So in light of recent events, we’ve decided that we really do need to get a dog, and this weekend we started trying to figure out how to do that. Most people, it seems, get their nice big dogs from Thailand or China. But on Sunday we got a tip. There. So on Sunday we we...
