Call Me Indigo
1. May be strong willed independent thinkers who prefer to do their own thing rather than comply with authority figures/parents
2. Have a wisdom and level of caring beyond their youthful experience
3. Traditional Parenting and discipline strategies don’t appear effective with these children. If you try to force an issue, a power struggle is the typical outcome.
4. Energetically, Indigos are...

Matt Wertz: “Over You”
I dont wanna get over you
Tried it a thousand times
It dont matter what i do
I guess i dont want to get over you
I cant get you off my mind
Thought it was time you knew
Mumford and Sons: “The Cave”
I will not hear what you have to say
Cause I need freedom now
And I need to know how
To live my life as it’s meant to be
And I will hold...
So then what?
Do I keep clinging to the hope that some day you will realize that she isn’t right for you and realize that you are right for me instead? Or do I convince myself that it will never happen and that you’re prefectly happy with her and that it will never be me. Ever.
But it’s always been you, dammit.
And I have yet to meet anyone else who comes remotely close.

I'm having a hard time staying in the moment
When things are brilliant and lovely and new, it’s the easiest thing in the world to stay in the present moment. But when life is ho-hum and normal, it’s a million times easier to lose focus and distract myself by letting my mind drift to the “shoulds” and “coulds” and all the other nonsense that doesn’t do anyone any good.
In a few ways, it is...

I need you to understand just how fully,...
You are exquisite, yet so imperfectly human in the most perfect way. No one could live your life in precisely the same way you do. You are important, unparallel to all and entirely irreplacable. The entire universe would be lost without your existence and the story of the entire human race would be altered without your presence. Your life, your story, your mistakes and your victories are needed...

It's kills me that we are all so blatently missing...
But it can’t be that difficult. It isn’t that difficult. Yet here we are, making the same mistakes generation after generation. The teachings of Christ have been lost, warping into politics and regulations and stained-glass dollar signs. We place our blame on everything in pointing distance. And it’s driving me completely nuts.
What I’m getting at is that it doesn’t...

How to make an entire meal out of apples, beets,...
I know it’s been forever since I posted last, but I’d like to take a moment to post a few new recipes. I just bought a new juicer (which I LOVE) so i’ve been juicing the shit out of everything juice-able. The only problem with juicing is that there is always a ton of pulp left over, which I hate to throw away. So I’ve been playing around with it and whipped up a few...

Free Fall
We arrived at the amusement park in Washington DC. The sky was bright, the air was clean, and the top of the ferris wheel sparkled in the sun. We boarded the school bus on the edge of the lake and immediately launched into the sky, higher and higher, until we lost our sense of direction; until gravity lost its grip. The earth was far below, a swirled canvas of grays and greens, blues and whites....

So I got a new job doing what I want.
And I put in my two weeks notice at the donut shop.
And a really cute boy gave me his number.
And I am getting better at salsa.
And I nailed a perfect headstand.
And I made a delicious dinner.
And I learned a new song on guitar.
And I am beginning to think
That maybe really sad girl from a few weeks ago
Just might be melting away with the snow…

I remember when I was 17 I was standing in your...
and we had just spent the night outside under the stars in that little tent in your backyard next the khoi pond crank calling everyone we knew and laughing about god knows what until the sun came up and I was drunk off life and friendship and lack of sleep and the overall ecstacy of the moment and I remember thinking, as I stood in your kitchen surrounded by all of the people that meant everything...
Creative Day
Today will be a creative day. I will write, crochet, and play my guitar. I might even pick up my sketchbook for the first time in ages. As a little added motivation, I will post everything I accomplish today on here. Can’t wait to show you!

Frustrated.
A few months ago, I realized how much I love my body. I am strong, flexible, and pretty darn fit. I have awesome curves and I’m finally learning to embrace them. Except for one little thing. Well, two things, actually, and they’re both quite big.
There is a curse that runs in my family. We call it The Lapka Curse and every woman has it: really freaking huge thighs… at least in...
We are so fleeting
Each morning there is one less than before. We flit and we fly like comets, careening to the sky and back without ever noticing the stars.

I am a person.

Single
So my brother came home for the weekend and I asked him how things are going with his girlfriend of 5 months and he smiled that smitten so-in-love smile and said they were going very well, thank you, because she just so happens to be a keeper and I said that I was very glad to hear it, because he deserves someone nice. And then I chuckled and made a snide remark about still not having any luck at...
