Spring has sprung, Easter is finally here, and the Earth is still hanging on. Since returning from my West Coast Honeymoon life is busy, but great. Here are some links, musings, and other sundries that have been piquing my interest lately. Plus, a pledge honoring this double whammy day.
- I am astounded by the unique creativity and passion of the young woman featured in this New York Times article.
- This letter written by a 10-year-old girl rocks my heart and pink-hating sensibilities.
- We adults need to play more often, and how fun would it be to go and play here?!?!
- I'm still holding strong on some of the healthy habits I cultivated during The Whole30 Challenge back in February after a brief break for all the celebratory festivities. I have some REALLY ripe bananas in the freezer and some unused almond flour waiting for a good recipe. I think I found it here.
- Thanks to a good friend that mailed me a mixed CD of songs inspired by my wedding reception's dance party, I have this song stuck in my head (and it makes me happy)!
- After reading The Hunger Games recently, I am obsessed with finding more quality young adult fiction. I'm not ashamed to admit I loved the entire Harry Potter series, the Twilight series, and I am currently re-reading that age-old beloved classic, Little Women. [Side note: Amy March is seriously the pits. I would hate having her as a little sister.] This is my new favorite place for book recommendations and literary geek-a-tude.
- To my brother and sister-in-law living in The Big Apple, I want to go here the next time I am in town. I will have the Pumpkin Spice cupcake paired with the Mandra Rossa Pinot Grigio, please! I just might make it a double.
- I learned how to do this Olympic lift with an actual barbell (and not a PVC or metal pipe). Three days later, I can still feel this effects of this explosive and technical maneuver.
- One year ago, the Gulf States region was changed forever. Here's what we were looking at in the news. Today is not only Good Friday, the day Jesus was crucified, it is also Earth Day. Deepwater Horizon taught me that we all have a role in caring for our neighbors and our natural resources. Take a moment today to celebrate how far we have come in protecting our water supply, in improving our air quality, and in our awareness of the human impact on the environment. Take a moment also to recognize how far we have yet to go - individually and collectively; locally, regionally, nationally, and internationally.
