As the blog world can be a very small place sometimes with its connectedness, many of you might have already heard about this, but if not, I wanted to draw whatever attention I could to it.
The fabulous Kelly Rae Roberts is raising money to help an amazing family in Rwanda, inspired by Jen Lemen’s powerful, [...]

Jaime grabbed her morning coffee, the first thing she did every morning, and headed to her computer, already thinking about what to write about on her blog. She had no idea when she started it how quickly she would become addicted to sharing the mostly true stories from her life, with snippets of things she [...]
Welcoming gratitude

I never really thought Thanksgiving was one of my favorite holidays — it is so easy to get caught up in the “Have to travel, lots of people on the road, blah blah” of it. And I’m a Christmas girl. I love the magic of the season. I love Christmas decorations and carols and presents, [...]
Outside looking in
Posted in thoughts on November 24, 2008 | 3 Comments »
One of my friends on Facebook, someone I went to high school with, recently posted photos from high school. Most of the photos were from high school theater performances and productions.
What struck me looking at those old photos was how much time I spent on the outside looking in. I knew just about everyone in [...]

Friday, B and I went to support our friend Torin, who was performing improv comedy at a local comedy theater in Carrboro. Torin is this wonderfully passionate person, who is always up for learning new things and pushing himself to grow. He had taken an introduction to improvisation class and his class and another introductory [...]
Friday Question

Hello!
I do realize I have pretty much fallen off the blog world lately. I am sorry — there has been lots of running around, some feelings of having my words locked up and not free flowing (which only gets worse the longer I go without writing), along with some normal, and not unexpected, mostly minor [...]
A life list

When I was in Louisville, KY, I found this awesome little book shop and one of the first things I saw was the fabulous journal section (I am a sucker for journals). And one of the first journals I saw in this great collection was Listography – Your life in lists. It gives you all [...]

Shot by B at Topsail Beach. I love living in the south where the water is warm enough to play happily in, in November!
a lovely dream

I had a lovely dream the other night about setting up a photography studio. I was planning on doing lots of portraits, and I had a big basket of scarves and big flowy scraps of colorful fabric, because I wanted to do a lot with the material — have people twirl around with it, drape [...]
Fire it up! Ready to Go!

I have never been much of a political sort. I don’t usually follow politics, it tends to make me sad, disheartened. The fact that our current President can’t speak in coherent sentences is painful and embarrassing.
But this election, I’ve changed. I read news stories all the time about what is happening, voting trends, all of [...]
