Adventuring

Maybe my life is not as unlucky as I think it is. Maybe I am able to find joy even in challenging times. Last weekend I was able to spend some time adventuring, both in and out of the city. Adventuring is something that is accessible to anyone if they at the very least do…

Well, that’s life

Month two of the new job has been less than ideal. I did graduate with my Masters from ASU. My best friend did ask me to be her Maid of Honor (and also come down for my graduation). But some not so great things have happened in my life. I am feeling pretty broken, lost,…

One Month

  I am already one month into my new job. To say the least it has been a whirlwind of a month. Between working full time and having a work/life balance. I am amazed I have managed. Yet, I have not only managed, but I have excelled. I am less than a week from finishing…

Easter Sunday

I have counted myself as a Christian since around 2010. For a long while I was making my way to church every Sunday, and I felt so good about it. But since I moved into my new house things have not gone as well as planned. I lack a church community to be a part…

Constancy and Excitement

Exactly one week ago I wrote about how surprised I was that the year is going by so quickly. I tried to describe how I felt like my life was in a state of limbo as I sought full time employment. Fear no longer, world. This girl has a job! I am so excited to begin…

Where did it what?

The last time I wrote anything for this blog, wow.. was nearly a year ago. I had just moved to Michigan for the summer, and that was an exciting time indeed. I probably should have blogged more about it so I could remember it all, but needless to say it was exhilarating. A quick synopsis…

Where am I?

A week ago I began my journey across the states. I am so lucky I was with the company of a woman who has grown to be one of my best friends. We drank lots of coffee, laughed a lot, mused about the oddness of America, and drove through more rain than her poor Arizona…

Expanding Consciousness

I love being around people who push me, not physically push me as in to the ground, but people who force me to be, do, and think better. Lately I have focused on surrounding myself with those people. Simultaneously, I’ve been reading Stumbling on Happiness by Daniel Gilbert. The title sounds self-help like but if…

What is life? (also titled: too much coffee not enough perception)

The last two weeks of my life have been a whirlwind. After what felt like the longest week ever because of birthday celebrations, house hunting, etc. I had TRULY the longest week ever. (This is becoming a theme in my life, but fear not, it ended quickly). Within a 48 hour period I was accepted…

Learning to walk

Not be dramatic by any means. But I am starting to walk without my boot (formally named Sir Boot). I am not doing this constantly, because I really want to fully heal, and I recognize that I’m not there yet. But I am doing so around the house because I hate wearing shoes indoors and I…
