Smash

March 22, 2012March 22, 2012 kara j1 Comment

A show made for me.  One that makes me want to follow my passions, be creative, love and live deeply.  Draw. Create. Write. Sing. Dance. (OK, let’s not push it.) It is tough to find time to follow my passions.  I am jealous. The characters are pursuing their dreams, while I am pursuing a paycheck.… Continue reading Smash

Less Selfless

March 7, 2012 kara j2 Comments

This article seems to agree with a previous post. I seem to be on the right track, which is always a relief. (From: http://www.sheerbalance.com/nutrition/living-a-healthy-lifestyle-an-act-of-selfishness/) By Brett Blumenthal Recently, at Be Healthy Boston, I was confronted with a viewpoint that being healthy equates with selfishness. Terri Trespicio – cover girl of Boston Magazine and former senior… Continue reading Less Selfless

Sunburnt: A Sensitive Life

February 9, 2012February 10, 2012 kara jLeave a comment

I have been pretty busy with life, work and service that I have not had much time to write something here in quite a while. I feel, as I have in the past, that there are just times that I need only write for myself in my private journals. I’m constantly on this road to… Continue reading Sunburnt: A Sensitive Life

Fighting vs. Acceptance in the Face of Anxiety

September 26, 2011 kara jLeave a comment

I’m fighting so hard.  It is hard to find happiness in things, when you’re having so much trouble with side effects from medications and still dealing with the underlying anxiety.  I am doing everything I can.  Still, I feel it is not enough.  I feel as though, I have let down a lot of people.… Continue reading Fighting vs. Acceptance in the Face of Anxiety

Childhood Summer Quick Vignettes

August 29, 2011August 29, 2011 kara jLeave a comment

I always hated this point in the summer growing up. I knew it was time to go back to school because the Little League World Series was on TV. Once I saw Williamsport, PA, it felt like the fat lady was backstage. So much fun was behind us…Camp at Derby Academy, our 2 week long… Continue reading Childhood Summer Quick Vignettes

Everything Changes

I went to see Aaron Lewis Thursday night, July 28, 2011.  It is the 6th time I have had the privilege to go see him perform an acoustic set.  I will never forget each and every time I am blessed enough to be in his presence and listen to him sing.  The first time I… Continue reading Everything Changes

Felix Takes Over

July 23, 2011July 21, 2012 kara j3 Comments

Hey, Felix here! I decided to open up the computer and see what this thing was all about. I checked out some of this World Wide Web. There are some interesting things on there. Int-er-est-ing! I don’t really understand why that “Charlie bit my finger” video is so funny. There also should be a Chat… Continue reading Felix Takes Over

2 Entry Mash-up

February 7, 2011August 5, 2011 kara jLeave a comment

This seems to be a two entry mash-up, so if it makes little sense together, you know why…you have been warned. I have not written in a while. I don’t have many profound things to say.   I have been working on other writing and self improvement projects.  Plus, I have had a wonderful head… Continue reading 2 Entry Mash-up
