Last night I remarked in my journal that I’ve been working on becoming more present lately, a habit that yoga is helping me a lot with. So much of my life is go, go, go that it becomes easy to just scurry around and think about whatever task looms in my near future instead of …
WIOSI Challenge Item #4
I’m feeling a little down tonight, so this post might not be as detailed as it could be. This last piece I wore for the WIOSI Challenge got mixed reviews even in person–some people (strangers, actually) gave me some nice compliments on it, but other people (who I know better) said that it wasn’t their …
Change It Up Challenge #3 – Food Log
I have learned from sad experience that diets do not work for me. Well, actually they do…for the week or so that I can handle being on them. Then I counter all the good effects it might have had the next week when I go the opposite direction and stuff my face with all the …
WIOSI Challenge, Item #3
The Wear It Or Share It Challenge might be doing the opposite of what I thought it would–instead of making me want to get rid of some of my stuff (finally), it’s reminding me of why I fell in love with or bought certain items in the first place. Take this lace shirt, for instance. …

WIOSI Challenge, Item #2
WIOSI Article #2: Long-Sleeve Pink Tee I am not a pink person. Maybe it stems back to the fact that I spent my younger years playing tomboy and dirtying up t-shirts and that I spent my first year of college makeup-less the majority of days. Perhaps it’s because I’ve been told that pink is just …
Wear It or Share It Challenge!!
For the beginning of 2011, I only set 4 “Big Picture” goals–read the entire New Testament with all the footnotes, do the 50 Book Challenge, get my cholesterol down to healthy range (ha!), and purge my closet. You see, what started happening was this: once I stopped growing, I had a harder and harder time …
