The Low Down on Living the High Life
You might not guess it from the lack of activity, but there has been a lot going on in Green Junkie Land. Then again, maybe the lack of posts has been a great big clue that stuff is going on–good stuff–I’ve been living the high life! Here’s the quick and dirty of what’s been shaking [...]
Becoming Beatrix Kiddo
When my dear friend Alison (whom I’ve known for well over two decades and affectionately refer to as Bug) needs an extra dose of motivation, she channels her inner Beatrix Kiddo. You know, Uma Thurman’s kick-butt character in the Kill Bill movies. I admit that as I get older, I find I have less and less [...]
biking, hiking, sight-seeing, living
I know it’s been a little quiet on here lately, but with good reason. First, Michael and I took a lovely vacation around southern South Korea, finally getting to see a bit of the country we’ve been living in. Then the ever-wonderful Mel, who designed this site initially, granted me yet another request and moved the [...]
excitement abounds!
Oh boy–what a month it has been! You’ll have to excuse the radio silence on here lately. In the past five weeks I have: visited four different branches of family (Mike’s mom and dad, my parents, and my sister’s family) and a solid handful of friends across four states welcomed the most perfect nephew ever [...]
global connection through yoga and meditation
This is just a quick post to plug a site I found recently, Kungaroo: Global Connection through Yoga and Meditation. It’s a ning group for traveling yogis and meditators, and I think it has amazing potential for connecting people around the world. The downside is that right now its membership is pretty puny. I wanted [...]
leaving on a jetplane
It’s hard to believe, but in exactly one week, I’ll be on a plane home to see my family. WAHOO! This is the longest I’ve gone without seeing them, so I’m looking forward to almost a month Stateside to reconnect with my nearest and dearest. The one part I’m not psyched about? Over 24 hours [...]
dream big. then dream bigger.
Oh man, what a great line. I first saw it on the Oh Joy! formspring page, and it’s been rolling around in my head ever since. This is, I believe, closely related to all my goal setting and vision board making, but I think it’s worthy of its own post. My friend A is a [...]
vision boards*
Earlier this month, a friend came over for a little vision board action one Sunday evening. Fortunately, we had a nice stash of old magazines laying around, just waiting to be scoured and scored for our project. Inspired by some other great vision board posts (like this great write-up by Kris Carr and Corinne Bowen, [...]
kyoto fotos: fushimi inari-taisha
One of the many amazing recommendations we got for our visit to Kyoto was to visit the Fushimi Inari-taisha, famous for its countless orange gates. When we first arrived at this famous Shinto shrine, we didn’t know quite what to expect. We had absolutely no idea just how extensive the grounds–and the gates–were. As it [...]
home sweet home
We’re back after an amazing week in Japan. It was a breathtaking vacation, but I have to say, I think it will be quite some time before I take a trip like that again (too busy, too expensive, but absolutely worth it). I’m currently sorting through nearly 800 pictures to post the highlights, and will [...]
