La Grande



Someday, yes, I will miss this place. So deep in my bones it has become and even if I want to shed it; I doubt it will let me rest in peace.

New Years Resolutions...almost a month later

Weird. Time passes so fast once school gets started. The first term always goes by quickly but once January hits I start slowing down a bit. This year is different though. This year I am working a part-time job and doing school full-time. On top of that I am starting to get ready for the second half of 2012, when I graduate, move, and begin a different kind of life.   

I look back over the past year and think how far I have come with lifestyle choices. I have been amazingly blessed with opportunity to pursue simple things I enjoy like baking and canning. I am thankful for the internet and the bloggers around the world that I learn from everyday. With all that I have learned I am excited for another year of blogging and eco-living.

This year I want to:

1) Ditch the rest of my bad personal care products and switch to more body-friendly and earth-friendly options.
2) Keep cooking at home!
3) Continue to clear away "stuff" from my life both physical or physiological.
4) Have more designated "me" time where I can sew, do yoga, or read. I don't actively make time for these things.
5) Continue my sometimes neurotic tendencies of saving electricity, not wasting things, not making garbage.
6) Really grow a garden this year. For reals.

I am really excited by what is to come this year. Of course I will write as often as I can.
