equality.

Wow. Wowowow. This is fantastic.

emBodyed

This is just beautiful.  It went viral (more or less) a month or so ago, but I just now read it, finally.

It is an article about a 7-year-old girl, who makes a comment about being fat, and then details her mother's response.

That is the type of mother I would like to be.

And on a related note, my good friend Dana recently started a new blog called "emBodyed", which deals with body-image related issues. Click here to go take a look!  I have offered to contribute, so hopefully I'll be writing over there, soon.

Mother Blessing

Once upon a time, I threw a celebration for my close friend Caitlin.

See the lovely post my friend Jen wrote about it, including awesome photos taken by my talented friend Charla.

my dream life

This is my most recent future life predictions, via my old time favorite, M.A.S.H.

You will live in a shack.
You will drive a pink bicycle.
You will marry Ryan Gosling and have 100 kids.
You will be a trapeze artist in Provo.

This sounds mostly perfect. Except for maybe the "living with 100 kids in a shack" part.  But, you know... that Ryan Gosling and I just cannot keep our hands off each other!

riding bikes

My father was right. I probably should move to Portland.



How Bikes Make Cities Cool - Portland

Though, my roommate tells me that Portland has one of the highest unemployment rates in the country.

Hmmm.

Also, this reminds me of the time my brother and I rode the STP.  I was 18 and he was 15.  It was pretty awesome.
