...and prepare accordingly."Go ahead, jump out into a new place, something different. And take care to create a support network. If possible, go somewhere that the support network will be built in. But, whatever you do, make sure you have somewhere to go on the bad nights. People in general to socialize with. Enroll in a class. Do . not . allow . isolation.

I daydream about owning my own condo, and installing Mexican tile.

I have built a tower. Reaching up for the vaulted ceiling. Tonight, I take the evening off from packing. I shall resume on the morrow. In the meantime, John Wayne vs. The Man From Snowy River.

3 years. Barring unexpected circumstances, I expect to remain Provo-bound for the next three years. And, I want the apartment I choose to be home for the remainder of those three years. And, after three years, I want to leave Utah. September 2014: You now own significance.

A fear harbored from a young age. A reality expressed by various men upon parting. I wonder how this fear influences my feminism. Articulate, in a book on masculinity. "I loved him, but I lost my identity in his, because he's so overwhelming and powerful. I had my own thing going in life before I met him, but I quickly became the person who was beneath him, and my world started to revolve

There are hard days, and today was one of those. So was yesterday. And the day before that. And the week before that. It will get better. It will get better. It will get better.

I'm off to Capitol Reef for the Sleeping Rainbow Writer's Workshop, a UVU venture in collaboration with BYU. I get ridiculously intimidated at these sorts of things. But, I'll try to focus on improving my writing, rather than feeling sheepish amongst the more talented sorts who self-identify as Writers.

This is me, home safe and sound,From my first everSolo Backpacking Expedition."All men say 'What' to me, but I thought it a fashion.When much in the woods, as a little girl, I was told that the snake would bite me that I might pick a poisonous flower, or goblins kidnap me; but I went along and met no one but angels who were far shyer of me than I could be of them, so I haven't that confidence in

I've had a lot on my mind lately. I've been trying to keep the thoughts tethered to a stake of "Treat yourself in the same manner as you expect yourself to treat others: with courtesy, understanding and gentleness." Today, as I was writing, I decided to let myself make a list of things I want. Forget that it feels horribly selfish and egotistical. It's not. There's nothing wrong with being

Brushing my teeth this morning , it occurred to me that it's kind of strange: We scrape a chemical formula across our teeth every morning and night... and that keeps our teeth clean and healthy. Weirrrrrrd. And wonderful. (although I imagine there are non chemical concoctions that work well?) Also apparently even without the toothpaste it's good for your teeth, according to a dental

Let's make this a food testing blog, for the week.Burger King's Veggie Burger= edible, but not particularly desirable. I'd been wanting to try it for a while. When I realized this evening that I'd eaten very little through the entire day, obviously it was time. I am now satiated, but it's not something I'll ever crave.What new foods've you tasted or tested lately?

So, I spent two months on the road. Itinerant. Wandering. MovemovemovemoeThen, I came home. My Mom came to visit. When she left, I went back on the road for a weekend. And then the following weekend. And the weekend after that, too. I'm not sure my wanderlust has been sated, but I'm determined to stay home this weekend.I'm sure there's plenty I could write about those adventures. But,

I listened to this interview while I was at work on my Ipod. Then, I came home and watched the same interview. Amazing. I first learned of A People's History when I was in High School, reading an op-ed piece in the local paper. Later, I tried to ask my teachers about the book but no one knew what I was talking about. I couldn't remember the title and so the book was lost to me until now. The

"What a Wonderful World" with spoken intro by Louis Armstrong off the Louis and Friends album.I would have preferred to share just an audio clip, but couldn't find one. This you tube video is what I found instead. No need to watch, I'm not too keen on the video. But, listen, if you like. I like.
