New Mexico... the land of community

About 2ish weeks ago I went to New Mexico!! It was beautiful and eye opening. I went down for work, the SCA paid for the 9 of us NPS apprentices to go see each other one last time, and we covered it for work as a "cultural immersion" trip. Asides from cacti, cedar-junipers, dirt, rocks, dust, mountains, mesas, cliffs, beautiful stars, and warmth, I was also able to see something that most of us in the North East don't get to see much... community.

there's something about india...

There's something about India that I can't get out of my head. I can't even pinpoint what it is. It's a feeling I've had for years upon years... in fact, it's been so long that I can't even remember when it started.

Where did time go?

It seems like it was only yesterday that it was the 1st of July and I was learning my most important time-management lesson about projects I've ever learned. It seems like there was no July after that, and somehow it's August. It's amazing, how just having the house (I live with my parents still) to myself, all alone with my cats, makes me realize how fast time truly has flown by.

basically one of the most beautiful blog posts i've ever read

I found a blog that I need to share with all of you... because it touched me, it grabbed me, it put tears in my eyes, it made me believe, it made me smile, it made me know i'm not alone, it overwhelmed me, it made me happy, it made me have to post it here.

I hope you enjoy this as much as I did... There are some things that deserve to be shared...

beauty in random happenings

There are some days where I feel like I was put on this earth to observe. Not just to observe any little thing, but to see the beauty that many people pass up during their daily routine. There are many amazing things people miss out on seeing because of how busy they are, or even just because they are too consumed in their own task.

Life is Beautiful

Some days I look back at my life and I wonder why I didn't realize how beautiful life is. I guess it's all a part of growing up? I guess I've matured enough and my thought capacity has grown enough to consider things that aren't revolved around myself. (Isn't that all we really are when we're young? Selfish and concerned with our own wellbeing and not others?)
