Posing

April 22, 2012 By 24 Comments

I’ve never been very good at posing.   Like many others, I wear my heart on my sleeve. Even people with the emotional radar of a doormat pick up on when I say I’m fine but am lying through my teeth, or when the smile and usually bubbly demeanor seem strained. The last months have required a lot of posing on my part. Life just hasn’t been as awesome as it usually is for a variety of different reasons that I didn’t feel comfortable discussing openly with family or friends, much less putting out in the [...] Continue Reading…

    I do exist. Ever since I started blogging, even in Africa with hardly any internet, I did my best to be consistent and post as frequently as I could. Not necessarily because I was making a single cent off of my blog or because anyone was waiting with bated breath for my next scintillating update, but it was more for me—blogging is something I do to really have a record of my life, shared with the world. And for the last month, radio silence. Why? I’ll cover that in another post. There is far too much [...] Continue Reading…

    Not being able to run sucks.

    It just totally sucks. But the funny thing is, it’s not the simple “not running” part that’s getting to me.

    Yes, running is a great activity. I love the way it makes me feel. I love the high I get at the end of a run and carry with me all day. I love feeling powerful and fit and strong. Even though my body is not perfect, when it carries me 16 miles easily and all before breakfast, it’s hard to begrudge it for what it is not.

    Whatever the injury is I am dealing with, [...] Continue Reading…

    Highlights from Hawai’i

    IMG_0778.jpg

    It’s been a very long time since I wrote a blog post. The last few weeks have been crazy to say the absolute least, and sometimes it feels with blogging—and with exercise, healthy eating, and so on—that the more days that pass, the harder it is to jump back on the bandwagon. I really love blogging, though, and recognize that I need to invest more time and effort into it if I really want to make it something special, which it is to me. Anyway, I wanted to post a few highlights of our Maui adventures a [...] Continue Reading…

    Most people follow foodie blogs for delectable, healthy from-scratch recipes with unique ingredients. So in that vein I present my third Super Easy But Somewhat Creative Dessert You Can Make Using A Cake Mix (™). Just because it’s not classy enough for you, doesn’t mean we don’t need easy recipes sometimes.   I wanted to make super easy whoopie pies but wasn’t really sure of the best way to do it—I knew I’d use premade mixes but didn’t know how you used those to make a whoopee pie. And what is a whoopie pie anyways?! [...] Continue Reading…

    Maui Oceanfront Marathon Race Recap

    IMG_0720.jpg

    Blog hiatus over! I tried to be as unplugged as humanly possible last week as I took my first VACATION in the year that I’ve been working to Maui, Hawaii with my friend Alyssa. I’ll be sure to do more posts about Hawaii itself including the delicious food that we ate and activities we engaged in but my first post will involve the marathon that we spontaneously ran there. I titled my CIM race recap “the spontaneous marathon” as I decided to run it just 3 weeks before. Now, the award goes to the Maui [...] Continue Reading…
