Life or something like it. Machu Picchu 101 – for those that have limited time and aren’t using a company. February 1, 2015.

what’s your dream? | Mel Melendrez
http://www.melaniemelendrez.com/2012/07/16/whats-your-dream
What’s your dream? July 16, 2012. 8220;Regroup”, 7/15/2012, Proverbs 9:9. So what was my original plan. Well, and I didn’t figure this out until I was half way through my Ph.D., turns out I probably wanted to go more into public health/epidemiology. The things epidemiologists were doing…that’s what I wanted to be doing. Don’t need a Ph.D. for that, a Master’s is more than adequate. So HOW did I end up here? Am I on a better path? I fantasize about not having to work, not having to learn, picking up my vi...

Devotion as devotion does… | Mel Melendrez
http://www.melaniemelendrez.com//devotion
Devotion as devotion does…. September 9, 2011. I’ve never been good at devotions. I grew up in a Christian , first church I went to was Calvary Christian in Costa Mesa, California…I want to say I also went to school there? It was a really long time ago…met my first best friend in school there in pre-school/kindergarten. I recently reconnected with her on facebook after 26 years of silence between us when my family moved. Topic 1, 9/3/2011: Joel 1: 13-15, God Gets your Attention. Often fasting is accompan...

All posts by mcmelendrez. Life or something like it. January 4, 2016. So it’s about 1:30 in the morning and I’m sitting on husband’s computer writing this reflecting on my past year. I’m actually pretty proud this post is less than a year from my last post, granted only by a month but hey – it’s progress right? Oh ya…so I had a baby this year. Following that adventure began the adventure of getting larger and larger as peanut became kumquat became grapefruit eventually on her way to small watermelon....

It’s hard to be ‘from’ somewhere when you are not | Mel Melendrez
http://www.melaniemelendrez.com/2012/07/11/its-hard-to-be-from-somewhere-when-you-are-not
Life or something like it. It’s hard to be ‘from’ somewhere when you are not. July 11, 2012. Thankfully we settled in Maui long enough for me to attend all of high school in one place. Then what happened? I promptly started moving around again, summers working in HI, school years back in WA going to college, followed by a move for 2 years before settling in MT for grad school, followed by living in Thailand and now settled in Maryland. And wonderfully I have a few ‘unrooted’ life long friends...I will do...

Life or something like it. A year later…providence or pfftttzz…. July 15, 2013. So in a random turn of events I just decided to check this blog…today is July 15, 2013. My last entry was July 16, 2012. Coincidence? Somethings I’ve figured out in the past year:. Some of us are West-Coasters, Some of us are East-Coasters…Some of us can coast any Coast…I am a West-Coaster and will seek to move back eventually. Bat viruses are cool. I am not as awesome a multi-tasker as I once thought. The purpose of life is ...

Dream within a dream | Mel Melendrez
http://www.melaniemelendrez.com//dream
Dream within a dream. January 19, 2012. Topic: “Pretty Good Company”, 12/29/11, John 12: 20-28. Happy Birthday Edgar Allen Poe, Born January 19, 1809. Odd way to start a devotional post complete with topic title and Bible verse by saying happy birthday to a man whose poetry and stories are often of the macabre gothic nature and depressing, but now that I’ve piqued your curiosity, stick with me…. And you cry out…you cry out. A Dream Within a Dream by Edgar Allen Poe. Take this kiss upon the brow! Often ti...

wandering another year later | Mel Melendrez
http://www.melaniemelendrez.com/2014/09/21/wandering-another-year-later
Life or something like it. Wandering another year later. September 21, 2014. So the husband pointed out that it’s been over a year since my last post and perhaps I was due to start blogging again. Oddly, the past few years since coming back to the US from Bangkok – specifically to Maryland/DC I just haven’t really been inspired to blog…as I’m sure you can tell from the copious lack of posts freakishly apparent on this blog. I have a bookshelf and Kindle full of books I am uninspired to read, I have a boo...
