       I watched a documentary called "No Impact Man" (it's on Netflix, or youtube). It's a story about a man (Colin Beaven) and his family and their journey through a year of living a life that dosen't leave a negative impact on the environment. Which for them meant only buying local, not using anything disposable (including diapers, plastic containers and toilet paper), not taking the elevator, only using public transportation, not using electricity and not producing any waste. All in a small New York apartment. ( www.noimpactman.com )     Two things: I love documentaries and I loved this documentary. I took a course last year on Society and Change and the rate of our consumption is overwhelming, the toll that we are placing on our earth is irreversible and could have been completely avoidable. I am a part of this problem. I don't want this to seem like I am standing on a soap box here, because I have no right to. ...

Haven't been blogging much, because I don't have much to blog about. School is school, Work is work, and both consume 95% of my time. That's why I haven't been blogging much. That, and I don't really have much to say right now.

I know that this is what I am meant to do I know that without a doubt. I gained a lot of confidence in pre-health - everything was nicely presented - spoon fed and packaged nicely. Don't get me wrong, I worked hard to achieve the marks that I did. Then I go to Mac where it is basically fend for yourself and figure it out as you go - I am not handling this new way of learning well at all. I don't even know where to start and not sure how to begin and not sure where to turn to figure it out. I am a month in a still feel about as clueless as I did the day I started. I am tired BUT I can do this Right? I have been sick - sick enough that I spent four and a half hours in the ER last night to be poked and prodded - X-rayed and all that wonderful stuff - all for "well you are sick, you are also exhausted" I need to slow down - but what other option do I have? I have the option to slow down when it comes to school and surely fail, because, lets face it, this stuf...

A friend approaches Two pieces of bread soaked in wine in each hand A simple gesture outside of the meaning. But there is meaning Communion Together Out of our pews, out of our individual minds and concerns, coming together We eat We hug Understanding We are both saved under the same cross We worship

I was feeling a bit frustrated and down this morning when I woke up - no reason in particular I think I am just a tad overwhelmed with school (yes I know it has been two weeks). People aren't kidding when they say that nursing is a lot of work - oy. Then I met my friend Amanda and we worked out this morning, nothing intense, but it was great to get out of the house, do something that is good for me and chat with Amanda. Then Driving home I was feeling disappointed in myself that I still haven't been doing my devotions as much as I like to (Which would be daily). Just feeling a bit far from God - which I know isn't possible since He is always around, just for myself, feeling a bit disconnected. Then I got home and settled in to re-watch my anatomy lectures since they fly through them during class and I usually miss half of the important stuff. Then God became close, through my lecture, God was here...I am AMAZED at the detail of the human body and I was findi...

Let the late nights and early mornings begin . . .

I had a two week break in between mohawk and McMaster - here are some pictures of what I did, they are mostly of Amaris' second B-day and the day I spent fishing with my cousins! Amaris Turns Two - So we ate a lot of candy, early in the morning  Went fishing with my cousins - I suck  I found a frog, then my cousins speared it and used it as bait.  The scenery is pretty shabby Pretty much the only thing I caught all day Just before the frogs heroic death Tim decided to jump in the water - it was cold as you can tell by the amount he is sucking in Well there ya go! Have a great weekend everyone!! - Kim
