Pre-Bike to Work Day – Testing, Testing..Is this thing on?

May

2013

Tomorrow is Bike to Work Day observed all over the state of Maryland and Washington, D.C. and I’m super excited. I’m planning to bike from my house to Penn Station, take the MARC to Union Station and then bike to my office in Georgetown. However, that seemed like a lot to try for the very first time ...

Leap of Faith

Well… Here goes: COUNTDOWN CLOCK WEBSITE I’ve been studying and practicing Buddhism as taught by the New Kadampa Tradition now for several years. I first joined the General Program, or weekly drop-in meditation classes, somewhere around 4-5 years or so ago now. I quickly joined the Foundation Program and really enjoyed it. I traveled to the ...

Baltimore Bike Party is the best. This video really sums up the feeling of the event, and the October 2012 Halloween ride was my first BBP event. I have since been to every bike party and even volunteered as a leader for the cold and snowy January BBP event. I have made lots of new ...

I’m happy to report that I’m still knitting. In fact, I’m knitting even more than before. Long drives, movie marathons, football games, I knit through them all. I’ve been inspired to make quite few gifts this year of both knit and crochet. For my mom’s birthday I ...

The “Buy Nothing, Do Something” Campaign

Nov

2012

This campaign is near and dear to my heart. Many moon ago, before I was a Buddhist, I was a crafter, and before that I was a grinch. I had not enjoyed Christmas much once my daughter was born. Why? Christmas is geared toward children, it should be the best time of the year, right? ...

A Word With Today

2012

Good Morning Today, I know that usually you are very good to me. I’m certainly happy to see you. I appreciate each time you visit. However, while I am willing to overlook that you woke me up a full 2 hours before my alarm went off this morning to the sound of the garbage man. ...
