I’ve been doing a lot of research for the memoir I’m working on. I like calling it “research” because it makes me feel more official. I went to Amazon & looked all of the New York Times Best-Selling Memoirs for the last 10 years. Then, I went to each book and read the majority […]

Do you care enough to Act?

“If a man, woman or child 100 miles away was suffering at the hands of torture and murder would you not run to help? Why then, do you not help when men, women and children are suffering at the hands of torture and murder, 3,000 miles away?” –Raphael Lemkin, the father of the word, “genocide,” […]

Transitions…
January 26, 2009 By 3 Comments
How do you handle transitions? I’m finding that as I grow up I’m becoming this weird mix of two things. One, I often have great fear and trepidation concerning upcoming transitions. For example, if you followed my blog in the past, you know I was so afraid to transition into my Sabbatical. The other, is […]

Landed straight on my hip with all my weight first then my head hit next. Screamed & scuffed the floor. 10 hours later feel like -literally- all sore similar to how […]

My GPA for last semester. I got an A+, A-, A, B+, B- & B. Good enough for me. For 6 classes, a long commute, a marriage, a baby, a house, 2 cats, a book project and fund-development… I’ve mastered multi-tasking. I start a new semester today. I really love my school and I love […]

Inauguration Day
January 21, 2009 By 5 Comments
I thought our new President’s inauguration speech was fantastic! As a follower of Jesus, I felt that he actually addressed so many of the things that I care about. (Not only that but also was extremely inclusive to those who follow Islam, Hinduism, Athiesm, etc.) I love that he addressed all of us as part […]
