Life As I See It. Life should be fragrant, rooftop to the basement." u2. Thursday, August 8, 2013. Though my love for and volunteering with Compassion began several years ago, in July I took the steps to become a Compassion Advocate.

j u s t l i v i n g: ToT: Secondhand Shopping
http://justlivingdaily.blogspot.com/2013/01/tot-secondhand-shopping.html
Tuesday, January 29, 2013. Secondhand shopping is such an excellent, ethical choice . . . I love it. It reduces environmental impact: fewer materials and less waste (both the product itself and the manufacturing), fewer shipping emissions, saves landfill space, etc. It supports local economy. It reduces the demand of new production of items and sends a message to manufacturers that more is not always more. Down with consumerism! You can find all kinds of crazy stuff you wouldn't find elsewhere. Also, and...

j u s t l i v i n g: Chiaroscuro
http://justlivingdaily.blogspot.com/2013/03/chiaroscuro.html
Monday, March 25, 2013. Pardon me as I digress from Together on Tuesday and indulge my artistic side . . . the missing posts are pending,even partially written, but this is where my heart is now . . . The day is Passion Sunday. We begin with celebrations and hosannas and end in somber reflection on the crucifixion. This year, on Passion Sunday, after opening with joyful Hosannas, my co-soprano and I sang the opening of Pergolesi's Stabat Mater. I don't think either of us fully engaged emotionally with th...

j u s t l i v i n g: Blood Chocolate
http://justlivingdaily.blogspot.com/2010/10/blood-chocolate.html
Sunday, October 3, 2010. I am a big fan of chocolate- specifically 72%, high-quality dark. The sad, ugly truth about chocolate is that most of it- especially the cheap stuff- comes at a great expense. Child labor, forced slavery, kidnapping and human trafficking, dangerous working conditions, long hours, and extremely low wages are just part of what keeps our chocolate chips and candy bars affordable. Photo from Green America. So what can we do? We can tell everyone we know the real story behind chocolat...

j u s t l i v i n g: ToT: Last Year, This Year
http://justlivingdaily.blogspot.com/2013/01/tot-last-year-this-year.html
Tuesday, January 15, 2013. ToT: Last Year, This Year. Last year was challenging, inspiring, surprising, healing, tiring, fun, so many things. It was also pretty tough. In many ways, 2012 was about survival. A lot of it was a blur. We were (are! Learning how to be parents. We were (are! Paying hospital bills. Mental health took more effort and attention than ever before. Many people we love dearly went through some extremely painful and trying times. Really, lots of 2012 is unbloggable. 6 J had surgery...

j u s t l i v i n g: Wednesday Wisdom
http://justlivingdaily.blogspot.com/2012/05/wednesday-wisdom.html
Wednesday, May 9, 2012. Well, well, what do we have here . . . If you hadn't noticed, I was gone awhile. My last post was 18 days before this happened . . . And my world was rocked. And I love this guy to bits. And a few other things happened, and 6 months flew by . . . And now I have a busy, mobile 8 month old with two teeth and the best belly laugh you've ever heard. The perfect is the enemy of the good.". So this mama reignited her neurotic pursuit of complete mastery of all things. Have challenged ea...

j u s t l i v i n g: ToT: Happy Valentime's!
http://justlivingdaily.blogspot.com/2013/02/tot-happy-valentimes.html
Tuesday, February 12, 2013. For me, having a kid has brought new spark to holidays. ANY of them. "Aww, it's his first President's Day! Being married to an historian has its quirks.) This week is wild. . . Mardi Gras, Ash Wednesday, and Valentine's Day, all in a row. Bizarre. Last year, we had an infant. Neither of us can remember what we did. We can remember at least 8 of our previous 10 Valentine's Days, but we cannot remember last year. Wow. Had to add the gray, a little nod to the Buckeyes, of course.

BUT, one thing we are committed to doing is writing those letters! Hello, Uncle (American Friend),. This sponsor is planning to travel in t...

SOVIETSK SUPPORTERS: June 2012

A hub for supporters of Sovietsk Orphanage in Kirov, Russia. Here you will find updates, travel journals, child information, and photos. Welcome! Tuesday, June 19, 2012. We have gotten a lot of letters recently with some updates on how the kids are doing. Our dear friend Lena writes:. The last time we visited we met a young man named Nikita. He is reserved and quite intelligent. Nikita recently wrote to us:. She wrote to us:. Our heart goes out to Masha. Sadly, her story is not uncommon. We look ...My go...
