i get to help a friend in her garden this spring! basil & squash and dill, oh my!

my sister is thinking about law school--she may leave us :(

beck: mutations is still awesome.

i got to dance on friday, to friend's music. i'm good now for at least 6 months.

i heard a break-up story on sunday. i am SO THANKFUL i'm not having to deal with something like that right now. i'm always either too 'matter-of-fact' or emotional. even if it also means no love.

i may be going to california to see my favorite little asian! (she's had it with peace corp)

my good friend is moving to colorado to study design--now i have like 6 reasons to visit that state.

i'm not thrilled with reading leviticus & numbers. someone please remind me why it's good.

shared tears yesterday with a non-biological sister, about the struggles of school, stress. she was so beautiful. blonde bangs falling in her water-filled, bright blue eyes, smile on her face. oooooh i love her heart.

it IS better being partners with souls in the journey that is eternal.

i'm loving how natalie will just lay on my chest-arms strong, eyes wide-open & inquisitive--staring. totally intreagued with whatever pair of earrings i'm wearing.

heard a story of birth yesterday--from a midwife. it made me cry that cry that first makes you warm, and then just comes---like a release.

i'm realizing that my love for life sometimes scares me. my heart for deeply connecting with souls sometimes feels like it could kill me. 'she told me she wanted to eat-up my sadness'--lyrics from my favorite song right now.
