I will sometimes go for a while without wanting to pick up a book. I’d rather enjoy quick magazine articles and flip lazily through the pretty pictures. Then there are times when I can’t get enough of a good book and I crave another and another. I’ve enjoyed a few this summer and, as they [...]

I Know Your Secret
August 20th, 2010 · 3 Comments · Bonnie's Posts
I know your secret. And it’s going to be alright.
You don’t have to feel like your life is a fabrication anymore. You don’t have to live in fear of being found out. It’s done. It’s out there. I know you’re embarrassed and I know you feel ashamed. Those feelings will pass and in their place [...]

Svaha Spirit Series ~ I Am Everyone

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESSE!!!!!
This little video was a commercial for Orange, one of the world’s leading telecommunications operators. It is really simple and so is the message but the truth it holds is quite profound I think.
Allow this thought to roll around in your mind for a bit and see what I mean. “I [...]

The Loving Kindness of a Two-legged Stranger
August 13th, 2010 · 11 Comments · Bonnie's Posts
I recently lost one of my best friends; my dear lab/border-collie cross.
We brought her home with us when she was only seven weeks old. She was a small black ball of fluff. We named her Spot, although she was black all over, because it amused us at the time. She took it all in stride. [...]

Life Feels Hectic
August 6th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Bonnie's Posts
I have felt busy lately. Busy is a relative term though. My busy is not necessarily someone else’s busy. This I gathered from the scornful look on my husbands face as he listened to me complaining to a visiting friend the other day.
Well, to me, I’m busy. “Just because you choose to get up at [...]

Running On Empty
July 30th, 2010 · 5 Comments · Bonnie's Posts
I love it when the house is quiet like this. It’s early enough that I’m still the only one up. The only sounds are from my keyboard clicks and the fans whirring around the warm air. I have three kids sleeping peacefully in the loft above me, my husband snoozes in the room next to [...]

Svaha Spirit Series ~ The Story of Cosmetics

I’m just going to say it – I have issues with my hormones right now. I’m dealing with it. I’m determined to normalize my hormones naturally; without the use of synthetic drugs. I’m at the beginning of my treatment so I’ll have to let you know how it goes. Through all of this, however, I [...]

Everything Can Change In An Instant
July 23rd, 2010 · 12 Comments · Bonnie's Posts
We were four women laughing and talking together; having a great time in each others company. We were driving back from an adventure we’d just shared and everyone was in a great mood. Tracy was driving. Cathy sat beside her up front, Jacquie sat behind Tracy and I was behind Cathy. I had a perfect [...]

Sick Day
July 16th, 2010 · 7 Comments · Bonnie's Posts
I’m slightly out of commission right now.
When your office is directly across the hall from your bedroom it isn’t a tough commute. And yet, I’m still having a hard time making the trip.
Apart from not feeling very well, sick days can be kind of interesting. I’m actually learning a lot.
For example, did you know that [...]

Rule Breaker?
July 9th, 2010 · 13 Comments · Bonnie's Posts
How do you feel about rules? If you break them do you feel uncomfortable or excited? Me? I get reeealllly uncomfortable about breaking rules. I just don’t like to do it. I figure they were created for a reason and it probably has something to do with safety. Speed limits for example. (ok, I have [...]
Svaha Spirit Series ~ The Girl Effect

Why Should We Pay Attention to Girls?
Little research has been done to understand how investments in girls impact economic growth and the health and well-being of communities. This lack of data reveals how pervasively girls have been overlooked. For millions of girls across the developing world, there are no systems to record their birth, their [...]
Time to Play!
July 2nd, 2010 · 5 Comments · Bonnie's Posts
Remember when you were a kid and the most important thing on your mind was what you were going to play when you got outside. “Are we playing Barbies, bike riding or walking to the store for candy before heading to the park to play ball?” There were always waves of popular activities. Basketball would [...]

She’s No Michelle Obama!
June 25th, 2010 · 16 Comments · Bonnie's Posts
I had planned on writing about my experience regarding an outrigger canoe race I recently competed in. I was going to post some photos too. Yes that was the plan until I actually saw said photos of myself. Gasp! Who stole my arms and replaced them with old lady arms? Seriously! Isn’t it bad enough [...]

I Picked Up a Stranger Last Night
June 18th, 2010 · 4 Comments · Bonnie's Posts
So I went to the airport to pick up my husband who had been away working for a week. His flight was late and I was getting tired. Finally people started streaming off the plane and through the gate door. A young girl looked around anxiously and then suddenly grinned and ran into her boyfriends [...]

Svaha Spirit Series ~ SUP Larry the whale
June 13th, 2010 · 4 Comments · Bonnie's Posts, Svaha Spirit Series~Sunday
Last week I tried Stand Up Paddling (SUP) for the first time and LOVED it! I can hardly wait to get out and do it again. My core was sore for a couple of days. Perfect! Who doesn’t need a good core work out. It is so much fun to get out on the water [...]
