Hello. Last Fall, I began to work on a story called “Jessica Jones.” I haven’t been able to work on it for months, but just started back at it today. The creation of this story began as a conversation with my roommate about the Christy Miller series (a youth Christian fiction series, that was extremely […]
I still love coffee. My friend loved coffee until she got pregnant. Then she got nauseous at the smell. I hope that never happens to me. I am a big ball of varied emotions when it comes to the changes hitting me this month. I want to help others bring more justice and love throughout […]
There are so many changes in such a short amount of time that I have decided to rename “August,” “Changeling.” I have been back from Brazil almost a week and the reality of all these changes are slapping me in the face. I start school in about a month. Weird. It seems more and more […]
I have returned from Brazil. It has been an interesting couple of days. Some of you may have heard about the plane crash in Sao Paulo, Brazil. We flew out of Sao Paulo the same day, but we were at another airport. However, there was a minor plane crash at our airport (no fatalities) due […]
I am having a great time in Brazil! We are in a historic village today called Ouro Preto (Black Gold). It is gorgeous, but it has a very sad history built on the backs of slaves. The last few days we have been outside a city called Sete Lagos (7 lakes). We are working with […]

I’ve been wanting to watch this documentary for 1 1/2 years and finally saw it tonight. I saw the preview for it and it almost moved me to tears. I didn’t cry whilst watching it tonight (don’t know why – I’m blaming it on culture shock), but it was still incredibly sad to witness the […]
I am a walking contradiction. One moment I feel nothing. The next I’m crying, overwhelmed with feelings. Sometimes I feel as though I never left, but the changes I observe usually poke their heads out and remind me that I have left. My first week here I had all these weird moments, realizing that I […]
I do apologize for my lack of blogging – however there is an excuse. Last Wednesday I wrote an amazing blog – it was a perfect blend of humour and interesting writing. I talked about Aubergines, my Mexican food party and Pride and Prejudice. And then I went to post it and crazy computer stuff […]
This Hobbit’s journey to London I sit on the train – thinking about my adventures in the city today. I saw all I wanted – and more! My goal during my stay in England is to make little trips to London, instead of one long holiday. Today was my first go. Of course, I’ll have […]
