There are so many things that I love about my sister Gloria. Her laugh, the truth that she has brought into my life and relationships with her insight, the way she tells stories, the fact that she fails to comb her hair, how she remembers details about people and asks after them. One of them [...]

Blessed.
I generally get my blogging material from people I meet or from my friends and funny things they say. Since starting to leave, there has been too much good stuff to blog!
This weekend I made a new friend in Chicago. I was spending the day downtown, getting my Indian visa. Well, there is something inherent [...]

Transition.
After I sent Kara and Calvin off on the airplane yesterday, I started a new journal. I feel a lot of new beginnings… saying goodbye to the remnants of the Nepal community in the States. Making a decision to end up in Omaha and not in Nepal, finding roommates and starting to pack up the [...]

Strengths/Finder.
One of the great mysteries of the Universe… where did my gray hair come from? (I know, you’re thinking ‘move on liz, we’re tired of hearing about that stupid gray hair.’ 
Well, I figured it out:
Ideas.
Too many ideas.
I took the StrengthsFinder… mine were:
> Connectedness

Speaking of Word Made Flesh, one of my best friends, Lara, has been [...]

Nostalgia is a Disease.
Today I am nostalgic.
This doesn’t happen very often, I’m usually looking ahead, struggling to live in the present, much less remember the past. I’m thinking of good and ridiculous times with Brother Keith and Sister Liz, eating Mother T crackers off the ground at Prem Dan, living at school and eating fries everyday, New York [...]

Ok, Ok.
That’s my haircut, I love looking at pictures of myself on my blog- so there you go. One of my roommates from college and I used to say “oh my gawsh, i am SO PRETTY.” in a certain very dry, awkward (acting natural!) voice. I wish I could send that over my blog, but just [...]

This Week’s Commitment.
It was recently brought to my attention that I am a serious Pack Rat. I’ve long held this title as a badge of honor. In fact people commonly tell me that they’ve never seen someone cram so much stuff into such small spaces. I was proud of that, no one else I knew could neatly [...]

Sidenote Number Endless.
We will return to the intended programming (Ode to Toronto, in Quotes) after this brief sidenote:
I am blown away by the power of the internet. Having recently discovered that if you google my name, all sorts of great things come up, not least of which is this blog, I am interested to know who is [...]
