"Being 'spiritual' and being 'nice' have absolutely nothing to do with each other, contrary to the popular notion that 'spiritual' refers only to vegans in Whole Foods whispering to each other. Kindness is important, and the heart plays an important role in the progression of humanity, but I don't believe we should all just get naked and skip in the sun. Ultimately, we need to be able to battle our demons within and without to get where we want to go. Jesus turned over tables and defended hookers, and the Hindu goddesses were not messing around."

-Kelly Cutrone in her book If You Have to Cry, Go Outside (and other things your mother never told you)



Very interesting book. It's making me think.

travel

A trip is in the works for me!

This fall I will be flying to Washington D.C. to see my dear friend Jordan. Jordan attended school out east last year and I regretably never made the trip to make use of his location, especially since I love the history, architecture, and bustle of the capital. I definitely felt like I missed out when he moved back to the PNW. However, he is returning to Washington D.C. and I will not pass this opportunity again!

As we were talking about the trip today, I realized just how important I find travel in my life. Thinking about big moments in my life, quite a few of them occured in airports, on airplanes, or on the soil of another country.

Destinations which stand out are Washington D.C., San Diego, Las Vegas, and Paris. I obviously don't have room to describe them all, but travel experiences have enriched me and shaped the goals and dreams I have.

I can't wait to be traveling again!!

little things

I'm a big-picture kind of person. I plan for at least 2 years in advance, I put events in long-term perspective, and I've been known to be a serial monogamist.

I'm sure this trait is beneficial in a lot of ways, however, it can get hard for me to live in the moment and appreciate small things.

So here they are- the details I've noticed recently, the facets of my day I am thankful for:

1. the heat wave when I open my car door
2. wearing running shorts to a party
3. F-15's
4. new summer playlists
5. running into mrs. dignan
6. payday
7. blended green tea milk tea with boba
8. intricate and amusing conversations with mom
9. snuggling
10. boats out on the river
11. lunch with new friends
12. sore muscles
13. unexpected phone calls
14. green everywhere
