Day 20/365 – On unpleasant topics
Day 201/20/17 Thoughts, come to me. Nothing. Thoughts come to me, come to me, come to me…whoozah! Still nothing. Help? Please post in the comments section if you’d like me to cover a specific topic. Help!In the meantime, check out this post I wrote today, about a not-so-pleasant (at all) topic: UTIs.
Day 19/365 – On friendship
Day 191/19/17 Continuing from yesterday’s theme of giving in relationships, I want to talk about another closely related boat: friendship. No matter how far people drift apart with their own microcosms and priorities of their individual lives, they can always find a common anchor that keeps them close at bay to each other. The waves […]
Day 18/365 – On reciprocating love
Day 181/18/17 There is a difference between loving and showing love. Most people show the love they want to receive. In return, they expect gratitude for their love and reciprocation in the same token. However, it doesn’t quite work like that. The recipient of the said love has their own idea of showing love, and […]
Day 17/365 – On controlling the weather
Day 17 1/17/17 Back in herbal school today, after a much-needed break. It never feels like an adequate amount of time when you are on vacation, does it? Nevertheless I love learning about herbs and being part of the ArborVitae community right here in NY! Today the following phrase really caught my attention: “There is […]
Day 16/365 – On fashion
Day 161/16/17 Today I read an article about fashion, specifically tips on how to become more fashionable. It was aimed at women, encouraging them to be more bold in their clothing choices, which will inevitably translate into being bold in life. Although not immediately transparent, it’s not far-fetched to see the validity of this claim […]
Day 15/365 – On preparing to fly
Day 151/15/17 Exactly halfway of the first month of the 365 Challenge of daily blogging that I set for myself. That’s 1/24th of my total goal! Wow that actually made it more intimidating somehow. Although, that’s a better ratio than 1/365th, which is what it was for my first day. Moral of the story: it […]
Day 14/365 – On bittersweet endings
Day 141/14/17 Our last day in Iceland was bittersweet. We managed to drive through a blizzard on semi-icy roads to see our last point of interest: the Golden Circle. Driving through some points felt like we were surrounded by a thick white blanket of snow and fog in the distance. First we stopped by Thingvellir […]
Day 13/365 – On Friday the 13th
Day 131/13/17 Incidentally, today is Friday the 13th, and I am starting to feel that our house is haunted. It is very cozy, with furs on couches and musical instruments and artwork in the living room, and an interesting bedroom layout upstairs. But there are some extra rooms, and nooks and crannies that make me […]
Day 12/365 – On driving in Iceland
Day 121/12/17 Today we journeyed to Vik, where there was beautiful black sand and silky-smooth pebbles of all sizes and shapes, chiseled by the magnificent strong waves of the Atlantic Ocean. There was also a highly symmetrical design sculpted into the side of a rocky mountain by the shore. The waves were so powerful and […]
Day 11/365 – On prices in Iceland
Day 111/11/2017 Day 2 in Iceland reveals even more rugged beauty than at first glance. My toes were in sore need of cayenne or toe warmers to return some feeling and improve otherwise feeble circulation, but alas I forgot to get the former and left the latter back at the house (!). Nevertheless, with taking […]
