A place of refuge

A friend, Bianca, made a list of "must haves" for every gal. As I looked through the list i realized I had most of the tangible items, the stuff you spend your money on and can pick up at your local Target or mall, but I was lacking one key item . . . a place of refuge. Oh I have my apartment and living alone guarantees you lots of solo time, but I'm not sure my home is a place of refuge. This is especially the case when there's a TV to distract me from my thoughts, a kitchen and bathroom that currently need cleaning, and a million other things to eat up my time. So I'm in search of a place of refuge, from work, from distractions, and maybe just maybe from my own desire to run when I'm forced to face things that are hard.

So refuge, I'm on the lookout for you.

Popular but maybe not in the right way

So it seems that Kpinion is getting some good internet traffic as of late. Unfortunately it's not for my witty sense of humor, sarcastic zingers, or even my deep and thoughtful prose. Nope, it's for this:

And while I am happy to know that my little blog is a pit stop on the world wide web, I'm not sure what kind of impression people are taking with them based on that one post. So a special thanks to Jes for helping me garner some random traffic.

P.S. I'm busy busy busy as of late so blogging has ended up further down the list. Maybe you should join the crowd and just go be mesmerized by that hairy chest and chocolates while you're waiting for me to get back in the swing of things.

Blog Down

If you are reading this than you are luckier than me. See I can't see my own blog, travesty that that is. And the kicker is that I have no idea why. I own my domain name (trust me I pay good money to stake my claim to my little piece of internet real estate), but someone out there seems to think that I don't and they so rudely replaced my blog with some cheesy advertisement page that has pop-ups (the dirty word of internet life). So until I get things figured out, I'm posting blindly and hoping for the best.

National tour here I come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


And, no, I'm not ashamed to admit I'm addicted and I like it.

Retreat?

We just got back from a 3 day staff retreat. While it was a great time of setting vision, brainstorming, and good community building,I'm dead tired. It always seems that I need a retreat after any retreat.

P.S. This is the best I could muster for a post Jes, so I hope if pleases your demands. If not, please contact my people, you know the number, and they will mediate a solution.

Great Weekend

Really great.

That's all.

The following took place after I delighted my co-workers with the rap version of "Lean on Me"

Me: I probably need to be on medication

David (our college age graphic design intern): Yeah . . . . (with full on head tilt and look off into space)
