On This Journey: October 2010
http://juliehixon.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 13, 2010. Today I wrote a poem. Sometimes during the kids' nap time I can get very deep into thought. I like writing in my journal at this time. I don't normally write poetry, but today this poem just came out. Free verse, if you will. I think much clearer with a pen in hand. My true thoughts come out best on paper. If only I could write before I speak, then I would sound much more profound. Will ever my mouth speak the true words of my heart and mind? Or will they always be confined.

On This Journey: leaving a place.
http://juliehixon.blogspot.com/2011/12/leaving-place.html
Sunday, December 11, 2011. I recently read the book Reading Lolita in Tehran: A Memoir in Books. By Azar Nafisi. I absolutely loved this quotation about leaving a place. It may be a few months late, but this really grasps how I felt when I left Moscow. December 12, 2011 at 11:55 PM. I have that book, but have yet to really dive into it - did you like it?

On This Journey: May 2010
http://juliehixon.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 31, 2010. I really like living in a big city because there are so many new things to discover every day. You never know what you will find. Like a huge art market under the street. It's even longer than what this picture shows, and there were two aisles of this size! I didn't buy any art, but I thought this owl was cute. There was a huge variety of art from landscapes, portraits, to cute owls! Friday, May 28, 2010. Oh, and I like dressing up. And seeing other people dress up. It is a comic ba...

On This Journey: Old New Year
http://juliehixon.blogspot.com/2011/01/old-new-year.html
Thursday, January 13, 2011. Today is Old New Year's Eve in Russia. They celebrate both the modern calendar New Year on January 1st and the Orthodox Calendar New Year on the 14th of January. So, I will use this opportunity to make my New Year's post that never happened! 2010 was a pretty good year. 2 birthdays. Celebrated my birthday with my family in America and with my lovely friends in Russia. Traveled to Egypt-saw the pyramids- one of the 7 Wonders of the World, met some fun Egyptians! Need I say more?

On This Journey: December 2010
http://juliehixon.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 22, 2010. What is a journey? A beautiful video by Louis Vuitton. Saturday, December 4, 2010. Sometimes you have to love the questions that children will ask. They are just so honest and unafraid to ask anything. I have a little girl student (5 years old) whose first language is English. It is so nice to have her! We talk quite a bit, and I think it's good for the other students to hear her speak English with me. One day she just asked me 'what is a museum? And 'what is history? I'm so...

On This Journey: The Longest Winter
http://juliehixon.blogspot.com/2011/04/longest-winter.html
Saturday, April 30, 2011. I think this literally was the longest winter of my life, lasting all the way from November to basically Easter weekend. I think this may explain my lack of blog posting. Or maybe I'm just making excuses. Now there are green leaves sprouting on the trees. We've had almost a full week of sunny days. Birds are chirping. Children no longer wear snow suits. Spring in Moscow really seems fabulous after such a long dreary winter. Since my Valentine's post, I haven't been doing nothing.

On This Journey: January 2011
http://juliehixon.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 16, 2011. Love the following scene from. Just watched it last night :) . You know what I've been asking myself all night? Why I'm bothering you with all these questions? I'm wondering why a beautiful girl like you would go to a strangers' house for their Christmas Vacation, and on top of that spend Saturday night with an old cock-up like me. Well, I just wanted to get away from all the people I see all the time! An ex-boyfriend who just got engaged and forgot to tell me. So, he's a schmuck.

On This Journey: Ruffled Circle Quilt
http://juliehixon.blogspot.com/2011/02/ruffled-circle-quilt.html
Tuesday, February 8, 2011. I love this bedding and bedroom! Can't wait to decorate my own apt. someday soon. The Lord is sovereign. If it doesn't work out with a particular guy because he didn't step up, the Lord will cause something else to work out. He knows what is best for each of us, and all of us must learn to trust him — especially about things that are really important to us. Do you want me to tell you something really subversive? 8212; Erica Jong. Here's another one just for fun:. The Girl With ...
