In nearly seven years of Starlite, over 100 different college girls have served as leaders of our programs with well over 1,000 other college girls serving as volunteers in those programs. Every so often, I just “connect” with one of them and our relationship continues long after they’re done serving with us — something I [...]

After yesterday’s post about the utter dismay thrill that is found in going to the gym, I figured we should talk about something happier today. That will, unfortunately, be impossible as I already promised to tell you today about the changes I’ve made to my eating habits. That is, unless you’re the kind of person [...]

I called Katie around lunchtime to see what she was doing. “You’ll never guess, actually.  What is the most unbelievable thing you could imagine me doing?” I had to think for a good minute or so, but then it hit me like a ton of bricks. “You’re reading my blog, aren’t you?” The blog is [...]

As promised, here’s the current playlist that’s rocking my pink iPod when I’m working out: Desert Song by Hillsong | One of my favorite songs of the moment. LOVE it. Her Morning Elegance by Oren Lavie | Love the words and cello in the background, too. Crazy by Gnarls Barkley | Old school, but who [...]

So, as promised yesterday, I’m here with an update on the whole weight lose thing-y which I first began writing about when I found out that sweet Katie, one of my previous college roommates, wanted me to be a bridesmaid in her upcoming summer wedding.

So, I’m at The Other Job I Never Blog About today when I get an email from my boss asking me to take care of something. A few minutes later, I write back to let her know it’s done. Seconds later, I get a reply email from her: “You do work fast.” So, I reply [...]

A few of you have asked how my quest towards fitting into the bridesmaid dress is going seeing as there’s a little less than three months ’til the big day. I’m happy to report the zipper goes up one inch more than it used to, though it’s my duty to inform you that there are [...]

I currently have 13 different pictures hanging on my bedroom or adjoining bathroom walls; each represent something (or someone) I want to pray about / for each day.  These three pictures hang right beside my bed; you’re seeing what they look like from my pillow vantage point.  Seven of my 13 pictures feature close friends; [...]

As I told you recently, my sweet baby cousin Marisa is about to move into her first apartment. Knowing that I had to be a part of this rite of passage, I told her to be ready for me to pick her up this past Saturday morning for “Marisa Day.”  I had planned to keep [...]
