I Killed it Rather Quickly

Sadie — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 06:32:47 +0000

Here’s a little gem for you, a story I wrote when I was somewhere around the 4th grade.

Once I lived a life that was calm and easy. But about a year ago I left my house to find something new. I was inspired by a book called The Hobbit. The only thing I [...]

Green Mountain at Fox Run, Binge eating, and Hope

Jasmine — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 13:39:01 +0000

Have you ever heard of Green Mountain at Fox Run? I had not until I somehow landed on fitwoman.com through blog hopping. I followed fitwoman.com for some time and discovered a group of people who believed in the ideals I was beginning to believe myself.

Diets and the [...]

Camp Perkins

Over the weekend Rusty and I went backpacking in the Ozark National Forest. As a kid I went camping alot with my family, but it was always car camping, sometimes for a week at a time, which when I think about it, is pretty awesome. But I had never been backpacking, never packed and carried [...]

The Simple Things

Jasmine — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 21:29:21 +0000

This weekend was a lovely and quiet one. It wrapped up a very active week. We stayed in, cooked, gardened, created, laughed, spent time with wonderful family members, and did a lot of reflection. Weekends like this, the ones that are stripped down, are the stuff healing is made of.

We collected ingredients from our [...]

Everybody is all up in arms about Paula Deen’s announcement. Some people are saying it seemed obvious because of the way she ate, some people are tsk tsking her recipe choices, and some people are writing about her as if she needs to promptly provide a last will and testament.

Waiting

Sadie — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 07:14:49 +0000

I think I have spent a considerable amount of time in life waiting.

Waiting to be in middle school, to live the glamorous kind of life my older sister lived in 7th and 8th grade.

Waiting to get my driver’s license so I could be independent.

Waiting to go to college, to be on my [...]

Tell Your Story Someone Might Hear Your Voice

Jasmine — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 14:54:48 +0000

Sadie sent me a text yesterday:

“Did you read Dooce’s blog!?”

(Why do we call her Dooce? Her name is Heather! Sheesh!)

I, in straight blog addict fashion, dropped what I was doing and logged on. I began to read her words and they spoke to an achey place I’ve [...]
