my cankle...

sunday i went hiking.

i fell.

it was funny.

later i realized i had a very bad and dirty scrape.

the next day, i had a cankle.

it's better now, it just hurts like a mother.

and no more cankle :)

the simple way

the simple way, a ministry in philly's inner city, labeled by some as "new-monasticism", has lost everything they own to a fire in their neighborhood. many families as well lost everything. fortunately, no one was hurt - yet people are serioulsy needing to consider relocating...



shane claiborne and the people of the simple way are living a very radical lifestyle - they have interpreted jesus in a tangible way and living it out in a neighborhood they love. this is so sad, it makes me angry... go to their website to read all about it.

not another page...

so now thanks to my sister i also have a facebook page. and it just so happens that half of the high school i went to is in it as well as old friends... yeah, guess who hasn't gotten much work done today? oh that's right, that would be me...

i couldn't resist

this is morelia - my cousin's solmary's baby - by the way, it's solmary's birthday today!


and these are zairamar and norbeltito - my cousin's nolbel's kids... another btw - zairamar looks a lot like i did when i was her age... sure sign of that kid growing up to be a beautiful woman ;-)

oh, to be 12 again...

my friend beth just sent me this!



i think this was about 6 yrs ago...

so young, so innocent...

so....

i'm the only one in the office right now... granted it's a small staff... 4 people. all accounted for.

president - on her way to durango
finance director - taking the afternoon off because he's working sunday
accounts manager - on lunch
program administrator - updating her blog.

really, who gets motivated to do anything when they are the only one in the office?!?!?

thankfully, sheralee, maria, bac, and i have a "bacardi coco" party tonight - i can't wait!!!

happy denver birthday to me...

last friday marked the beginning of my third year in denver.

at the risk of being redundant - my life hasn't turned out the way i planned it... not that i had a plan, but you know...

add to that in the past month my life has taken an unexpected turn... don't know what it means or looks like, but i'm enjoying the ride...

so, happy birthday to me... i'm loving denver more and more... we'll see how that goes...
