poem also: but Lydia does not hear because urgency has spilled words in waves right over her lips and so she dream-surfs from Central Park West towards the shores of the Met Museum at 82nd and Fifth. Her sunny mind burns with excitement.
what can be said for self-esteem?
a good photographer and press agent and promoter can really help!
I also remember these lovely wool coats with cozy upturned collars and "delicate" (Marilyn Monroe's word!) powder blue color.
Of course there is the "all I am wearing is Chanel 5" perfume and the special place at the throat to place one's forefinger just to feel the "pulse of it all" "the life in it all"
ENJOY AND ESTEEM !

Because I had fairly good light, and the train was riding on a nice high bank across an empy field, I decided to take a few freight car photos. Here is a well used Railbox boxcar, heading off to points unknown.
Because there was a time when these two actually considered each other friends.
(Ryu is Chris' Leon while Jae-Sun is Chase.)
And we wrapped up our Jaipur India Projects on Friday. It was emotional because leaving is always the hardest part but these women and girls are in good hands with Hasmik Ghalechyan and Adv Aplav Saxena
Our combined efforts have raised over $1000 from our family and friends with $845 of that coming from the DivaGirl members and supporters and more donations are coming in from Cathie Berrey and Elisa De La Torre.
With these contributions, we were able to gift 3 sewing machines to Naya Sawera women’s self help group:
- 8-10 underwear each
- one pack of pads each
- 3 sewing machines
- fabrics
- groceries each day
- 2 underwear for each girl
- pads
- toys
- art supplies
- self care packs for the Blind School for Girls (lotion, face wash, pads, lip balm, oil, chocolate)
- snacks and chocolates for the kids
- so much more. Volunteering Abroad is NOT for everyone.
Culture shock is real and you need to keep an open mind when you are volunteering abroad because your culture will be very different from the culture of the country you’re visiting.
You are not there to change their culture, “make it better”, or even solve their problems.
You are there to let them know that they matter despite the harsh circumstances they’re in in life.
You are there giving your time and energy because they are valued in a place where it can be hopeless.
We are NOT their saviors.
We ask them for what they need and they needed underwear, sanitary pads, self worth (in a patriarchal country), self esteem boost, a sustainable way of living (3 sewing machines and fabrics) and to have a little bit of fun!
You are there to connect and let them feel seen, heard and validated, because as my new young friend from India, Shanaya, said, “It doesn’t matter what country you’re from, what language you speak, what color of skin you have, or what religion you practice, you can always find similarities and build connection”.
I am grateful for our host family Hasmik Ghalechyan and Adv Aplav Saxena for your dedication in meeting the needs of the communities you serve and for allowing me, Elisa De La Torre and Cathie Berrey to be part of your amazing projects.
Thank you to our interpreters and young local college coordinators, Priyanshi Agarwal, Shanaya and Pranjal for looking after us and taking good care of us as we navigate the slums of Jaipur.
To Laura Furtado for planning this trip for us with A Broader View Volunteers
To my fellow volunteers Cathie and Elisa, thanks for sharing this amazing experience with me. This is not easy work but it is fulfilling work.
Because of a too difficult path including climbing passages we left the ridge descending 1000m and hiked two days in the woods. In a one-day-monster-adventure we climbed those 1000m up again and made all the missed ridge paths just with day packs.
Standing on the 5th summit above 2000m of this day we finally saw the lake where we have left the ridge two days before.
Because I ride my bike so much lately, I tend to not stop to take many photos... I couldn't pass this up today, however.
I went into the store called winn dixie! Just like the book 'Because of Winn Dixie' hehe brings me back to when I was younger :)
Because we'll now observe a moment of silence for my 32GB iPhone 3GS.
I dropped it in the toilet.
It's Elvis' phone now. :D
"Because life is amazing, and we can, in the capital of a world learning to <3 better :) "

My "niece". I uses quotes because we aren't related by blood, but by the bond of life long friendship that we have. Ava's mommy (Alexis) is the younger sister of my very first best friend ever (Brea).We've been friends for so long in fact that Brea's first word was "Burda", what she could muster of my name at age 2. I've known her family for 25+ years and now were starting our 3rd generation.
Because we missed out on a festival day, our fearless guides and leaders arranged for an evening festival to come to us - by firelight!

Ｍy topic for concerned is stray dog. It’s a serious problem in my country and there’s also a movie that talk about this issue. You could see many stray dogs on the street in Taiwan. There are two major reasons to cause it. Firstly, people love to buy a dog then raise it as pet in the beginning but they abandon their dog when they don’t feel excitement or interesting. Second reason coheres with fist. After abandon their dog, those usually don’t neuter then they just keep on breeding. And the most unfortunate is if they will be caught and sent to shelter and after 12 days later nobody adopts them, they will be euthanasia. In addition, according to the data, another unfortunate thing is that many stray dogs are die because hit by cars.
Therefore, it’s a quite severe issue in Taiwan. The best solution would be adoption instead of buying. Another would be government can provide money for neutering to decrease more and more dogs on streets. Hope this issue can been emphasized and concerned as well as government can take more action on dealing with it.
The interesting thing is when i was taking photo of them, they were so scared and also barked at me because I guess that they think the camera is weapon which may hurt them.
