This week I decided to start down a road that one of my roommates has deemed a bit crazy – and she’s probably right. I decided to start training for a half marathon. That in itself isn’t so crazy; lots of folks around here do that all the time. But I’m going from few and… Continue reading It’s Been Done Before
The more traveling I do the more I realize that for me it’s less about the places and more about the people. It all started in Morocco, which I still consider one of my favorite trips. It was a visit filled with new friends and invitations to share mint tea and special meals in the… Continue reading All About the People
In life, once you’ve faced a certain amount of rejection in a particular area you often start to lose hope in the possibility of a positive outcome. But then something or someone challenges you to try again and put yourself out there in that vulnerable place. I think it’s there, in that place where you… Continue reading Challenge Is Good For the Soul
I finally enlisted the help of some fabulously talented professionals to help me with naming and branding for my photography. The lovely ladies of Bittersweet Creative have helped me settle on the name of Selah Stills and have developed most of the branding items. This past week I (with little notice) asked them to implement… Continue reading It’s Official
It feels like it’s been a very long day since I left the plane this morning in Rome. Partly it was due to my inability to follow signage (in the case of trying to find my train platform at the airport) and partly to being in the middle of one of the craziest travel events… Continue reading I Have Arrived
Written from the plane on 4/16/10 I’m off to Italy! It’s been a crazy week at work and just in general as all the details came together, but I’m finally on the plane. I’m overwhelmed by God’s goodness right now. It may sound ridiculous that the little perks of a first class seat would make… Continue reading Undeserving and Overwhelmed
As I made final preparations to head off to Italy with thousands of dollars worth of photography gear, I made the call to make sure my insurance company had the needed details. I’m very glad I did. Everything I’d read online seemed to indicate that it would be covered by my homeowner’s policy. However, I… Continue reading Getting It Covered
For the past 3 years I’ve lived just outside of the city and spent countless time and dollars commuting. Not so much for work, but for the rest of my life. I absolutely love my house and really wish I could just move it. But since that’s not possible I’ve taken steps to move closer… Continue reading A Lesson in a House
After hearing for months how funny it was, I finally got around to watching The Hangover tonight. Glad I did! Definitely laughed out loud more than once. In the theme of Vegas, I thought I’d share a few of the photos from my trip to Sin City for Autodesk University.
I don’t know about you, but I’m not a clear fridge kind of girl. I have magnets, notes, etc. on there. And pictures. I recently did the yearly rotation of photos, replacing the old ones with the updated shots folks sent during the holidays. As I was standing in the kitchen yesterday I looked at… Continue reading Happiness is…Friends on the Fridge
