It is said that life is what happens when you’re doing something else. On my back porch I planted flowers a while back. They’re still alive! Isn’t that awesome? I have so much enjoyed watching them grow. One pot was even quite wilted after I got back from Portland but with some rain, it came […]

It’s one of those nights when I have a lot on my mind. I’ve been having a lot of those lately and there are so many things on so many different levels. From those deep feelings and thoughts moving where they can hardly be named, to the list of things needing to be done- for

I was sitting beside Stacey last night at a dance show when during intermission, I turned to her and asked, “This is a poetical way to ask the question, but is dance what makes your soul breathe?” She thought about that for a few seconds and agreed that yes, it is. For anyone who knows

I am now looking forward to going to the library on Tuesday to check out three books I want to read. I miss being up at the seminary more often to check out books there though the Salem Library is quite good. If they don’t have it- they can get it. I haven’t had to

Between cleaning out the kitchen, getting my car fixed, and getting ready to be with four other board members for the next two days, I have had a very full day. I feel like central command coordinating and overseeing the movements of four people through the Northwest. In fact, when I’m talking to one of
As I was sitting out on the porch this afternoon with Allie, my new roommate who doesn’t actually move in until Thursday, I was looking at a plant still in the cheap plastic pot that is wilted probably beyond repair as a result of not getting watered while I was gone. It’s really quite a
For the panel on Friday night, we read a lot of the submissions we’ve received. The QUIP group really enjoyed them and asked us a few questions such as about John’s travels and what we wanted this book project to be. I also got to talk about our vision for the book and that was

We seem to get slower and slower starts in the morning. I am sitting at the kitchen counter while Emily, Katrina, and Rachel make breakfast. Cara is next to me reading a book. (Imagine reading something besides submissions!) Breakfast smells good – french toast, bacon, and catntelope. John just came downstairs and I know the
