Two weekends ago we went to the Monastery of the Holy Spirit in Conyers, GA.
It was very quiet, I’ll just let my pictures tell the story…

People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered.
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives.
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies.
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you.
Be honest and sincere anyway.
What you spend years creating, others could [...]

So quickly the year has passed and it’s already time for another “Heather with ashes on her forehead” picture.
Every year at Lent I try really hard to think of what I should fast from. Traditionally, folks do meat… or some other foodie thing they should consume less of. Since I’m already a vegetarian, and started [...]

I just spent about an hour re-reading old posts from a long forgotten blog. I’d gone looking for some long-lost poem I’d written for jme… I wanted to find it and re-gift it to him for Valentines Day.
Reading the stories of my life over the past 5 years was rather cathartic. Loads of drama. A [...]

Oh sweet lungs don’t fail me now
Your burning has turned into fear
It drills me in my every step, I’m moving quick
But you’re always on my heels
Just one more breath, I beg you please
Just one more step, my knees are weak
My heart is sturdy but it needs you to survive
My heart is sturdy but it needs [...]

I didn’t have allergies ’till I moved to Chattanooga. Ugh.
*sniff*
This past week was a blur…
The garden is ready to be planted (tomorrow, hopefully!)
I learned that my friend Ken is incredibly wise in animal identification.
I got fillings in my teeth (it hurt a lot) and now ice cream hurts (this is going to be a serious [...]

So my Lenten photos kind of trailed off at the end there…
I have to admit that part of it was me getting weirded out by the glasses-freaks (see Lent -27 for the details).
Micki came. We stayed up uber late every night and compensated by drinking much yummy Guatemalan coffee. She got a tattoo and started [...]
lent – 1

Today is the first day of the season of Lent – the 40 days leading up to Easter. Generally, it’s a time when those who observe it give up something.
I thought about giving up coffee – last year I only drank it only socially during lent (never alone)… but this year I’m actually going to [...]

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere”
- Martin Luther King Jr.
Human trafficking… I’m not so eloquent when it comes to this topic, mostly because it is so heart-wrenching an issue. There are an estimated 27 million slaves in the world today – more then at any other time in history. [...]
