Yes, it’s cold outside. Yes at least three people in my office are fighting the flu. Yes I would rather be in my house sound asleep right now than watching to phones for the receptionist. As it is, though, there is nothing I can do about any of the above. I can down the vitamin…

No Mistake About It Winter has come to Southern Indiana. The “light dusting to an inch” we were supposed to get Saturday turned into a solid 3+ by Sunday morning. It’s beautiful, I don’t doubt that a bit…however, it’s also cold and make the roads less that fun to drive on, which in turn makes…

I think winter has finally come to Indiana. Too bad it’s not really winter yet. That isn’t until what, December 21st or something like that? But it is C-O-L-D outside today. REALLY cold. my feet are still frozen and I’ve been inside for quite awhile now. Oh well, it’s fine. It’s winter. I’ve lived here…

Last night I did something I haven’t done in a very long time. I went to sleep at 11:00 and slept until 6:10 this morning-without waking up. That NEVER happens to me. After a long day yesterday, I was able to relax and just be quiet and still for awhile, which made it so much…

Today the dark weather outside is clouding my mood. Why? I don’t know. It’s like the littlest things are making me cry; the littlest things are making me angry and sad and frustrated and hurt and all of that at once. i don’ tknow how to make sense of all of that and how to…

Bienvenidos a Costa Rica! That is what the large mural on the other side of the customs and immigration office said in the airport last week. We were finally in Costa Rica. I’ve been waiting for this trip to occur for a long time, so finally being there was amazing. The night before I had…

Today I am struck by authenticity. Or maybe I should say I am struck by the desire to live an authentic life; to be authentic to those I love and to have their authentic selves become a part of who I am. We spend so much of our lives in hiding. We spend so much…

Well, elections are over. It took all of four seconds to place my votes yesterday, but whatever. I guess that’s what happens when you have like 3 catagories to vote for…you just can’t stare at 10 names for that long! 🙂 I realized something much more important yesterday. I went to Hannah House/Crisis Pregnancy Center…

Okay, so everyone in my office is sick. I really don’t want to get it, so I feel obligated to go purchase myself a germ-mask 🙂 Okay, I won’t but I’m really tempted to do it. I hate being sick and don’t want to get this bug, even though I really don’t know if there…
