every fire, every joy
The other day my professor asked us to write down a list of all the little joys in our lives, any little thing that brings a smile to our face or brightens our day. It could be the simplest of things, like smelling clean laundry. So I have decided to make a list of 100 little joys, which I have just started but will continue to grow as I experience little things that bring joy to my life. Let us...

dry skin makes me feel claustrophobic
True story. At the moment, my hands are plenty dry because today I got to spend a few hours throwing on the wheel. And it was glorious. I decided to take Ceramics II this semester after loving Ceramics I so much last year and I am so glad that I did. I just started the class, but I am already enjoying it. I am in no ways a ceramic genius, but I am learning. I think my prof. is going to try and...

pocket monsters
Today, I joined an intramural bowling team. Am I good at bowling? Not really. I have absolutely no athletic ability to speak of, that’s why I stick with art. I mean, I can get the occasional strike by sheer luck, but really I just thought it sounded like a fun time. Our team name is Pocket Monsters for two reasons: 1.) Pocket is defined as “the desirable location for the ball to hit...

Fact:
I crave intentional relationships.
Relationships that are genuine and real, deep and meaningful, open and vulnerable. Relationships in which you have more room to be yourself. That’s all I want right now.

Fact:
Yesterday, I reached the 5,000 song mark on my Zune music program. For me, this is a major accomplishment. I have so much new music right now I hardly even know what to do with myself and I am loving every minute of it. New addictions include: Maps and Atlases, Foxy Shazam, Portugal. The Man, and The Fossil Collective.

Matthew 11: 28
Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me - watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.

Fact:
I have a new love in my life…his name is metal-smithing. It is one of the studio courses I am taking this semester and I just love it. I finished my first ring today and I could not be more excited. If I could, I would spend every day working in the metal-smithing room, making all kinds of rings. I think this has become the new “ceramics” in my life.
