Happy September!

September 2, 2009

It is September and the air is crisp. That makes me so very happy right now. My resolution for 2009 was to let go of guilt, but this month I am adding “be more playful” and “try more new things” – it has been an awfully serious few months for me and I need a […]

More Pink Backgrounds

As Globetrotting Cacti pointed out in her comment here, my trip this past weekend involved a lot of driving and activity.

Blogging with Integrity

August 27, 2009

Seeing this post on Yogademia a few weeks ago was a good reminder of the importance of holding blogging up to all other journalistic standards.
