Life & Lent

In an effort to figure out a few things going on with my body I've given up certain foods. Most recently, I cut out most refined sugar and white carbohydrates (yikes, right?!). Through reading and conversations with friends I decided that it might even be worth it to try a Vegan diet for a while. In the weeks leading up to Lent I thought about what I could give up or add into my life and decided that this season would be a great time to discover how to eat without using animal products.

The first few days I had a few slip-ups but today I enjoyed a lovely brunch with friends that included several Vegan friendly foods. I made Whole Wheat Vegan Chocolate Zucchini Muffins. Yum!

I'm looking forward to sharing a bit more about this journey over the next 40 days.

Life Right Now

Oh, Hello!

How is 2012 treating you? Professional, my year got off to a great start! In January I had the opportunity to go to NYC for a few days to attend a conference hosted by The Institute for Children, Poverty, and Homelessness. It was wonderful to be surrounded by so many like minded people. I left energized and ready to continue in the 'fight'.

And personally? I think it's time for a change but in which way, I'm uncertain. I'm trying to put that energy (or discontentment, confusion) into things like exploring new posiblitities at work, begining to write admissions essays for graduate school, and making new friends.

I recently came across my goals for 2010 and realized they looked a lot like 2011's. This year, I'm changing that. I'll let you know how it goes. :)
