I used to pride myself on being the person who tries a new entree with every trip to the same restaurant–I don’t know if I just got to the point where I had tried everything at all my favorite restaurants or if I had just gotten myself into a same-food stalemate, but I stopped trying …
Change It Up – Westerns
This week’s Change It Up Challenge begins with a confession–I am a selfish movie watcher. While Matt is benevolent and broad-minded in his movie-watching tolerance (as evidenced by the fact that he watched the 4-hour version of Jane Eyre with me this weekend without complaint), I am downright stubborn in the types of movies that …
Change It Up – Fail
For my eight or so faithful readers out there, No, I have not forgotten about nor given up on my Change It Up Challenges. Last week I had a valid excuse – I was on spring break, which therefore meant that I was on spring break from all of my blogging responsibilities as well 🙂 …

A few weeks ago while volunteering one Sunday at a rehabilitation center, I made a list of “Things I Would Do If I Had More Time.” The environment around me that day really made me open my eyes and realize that there were so many things I loved to do but that I never did …
Change It Up – Yoga
My first change-it-up challenge was easy: two weeks ago, I joined USU’s Fun Fit Forever Club, which basically just grants me access to all sorts of different exercise classes offered throughout the week. As anyone that knows me well has heard, yoga and I have not had the healthiest relationship in the past–I always complained …
The “Change It Up” Challenge!
St Francis and the Sow By Galway Kinnell The budstands for all things, even for those things that don’t flower, for everything flowers, from within, of self-blessing: though sometimes it is necessary to reteach a thing its loveliness, to put a hand on its brow of the flower and retell it in words and in …
