Every Day

Food. I like me some good food. I like local food. I like organic/natural food. I like food that is produced by good companies. I like food that is wholesome and nutritious. I like food to make me feel better, not worse. I have not been eating the best lately and have noticed that Ive been tired ALL the time. So last night I decided to change that and start eating a little better. Well, at least for dinner... Last night and tonight I cooked up lots of deliciousness and felt/feel SO much better about life. I "stole" an onion, yellow pepper and chickpeas from the dining hall last night to add into my stir fry. I had some left-over quinoa and peas last night but tonight I just stuck with the basics. Chopped up veggies, chickpeas and black beans, garlic and seasonings and of course, a bit of cheese on top. And dont forget, a hard boiled egg from Easter Sunday (look how blue it turned out!!). That meal right there is what you call some mean nutrients and protein. I feel fant...

I just have a few thoughts on wasters. Wasters are people who waste water, food, energy, time, money or anything really. This is opposed to efficiency geeks. Efficiency geeks are getting things done in a timely manner and not f**king around or WASTING anything. Each year I grow older, I realize that I have a responsibility as a human on this planet. I learn something new that changes my belief patterns or how I go about my day. I take this new knowledge and I really, really try as hard as I can to change and better myself, and the world, in any way that I possibly can. I can't ignore this knowledge. I feel that if I ignore this knowledge, or stay ignorant by not furthering my education, that I am letting myself down, I am letting all of you down and I am letting the environment down. After living in California for a year and the Virgin Islands for 5 months, I have realized what a precious resource water is. Growing up in WI, we didn't really have to worry about it as much a...

11/7/2015 11:56 am The bathroom views are amazing! I took a poo yesterday looking out at the lake and volcanoes in the distance. Absolutely stunning. I dont mind taking my time in the bathroom with views like that! 11/8/2015 3:36pm We had a day of exploration in San Marcos today. First the group of girls went to hang out by the lake, Lago Atitlan. It was very rocky, like a cliff-side almost. Not like a beach at all. But we climbed down the rocks to check out the water and it was cool, but not cold like lake Michigan. I put my feet in the water and soaked in the morning sun.  Its SO fun to chat with all the ladies here. I feel like Im a part of something and they all have such interesting things to say. I want to know all about them! 9:45pm This morning’s yoga was taught by one of the girls in my group, K. I love taking classes by people I know because it brings a whole new level to the experience. She came around and did excellent adjustments and it was so calmi...
