Devon P Still feeling the effects of my three month foray into running a year and a half ago.  So no, I'll take a pass on that 8 mile race with 2000 feet of elevation change in a ridiculously humid tropical climate.

Devon P Why am I paying $15 an hour to pretend to be a dancer again?  I believe there are other, cheaper forms of self-torture.

Devon P “So to all the secret writers, late-night painters, would-be singers, lapsed and scared artists of every stripe, dig out your paintbrush, or your flute, or your dancing shoes.  Pull out your camera or your computer or your pottery wheel.  Today, tonight, after the kids are in bed or when your homework is done, or instead of one more video game or magazine, create something, anything.  Pick up a needle and thread and stitch together something particular and honest and beautiful, because we need it.  I need it. Thank you, and keep going.” - Shauna Niequist, Cold Tangerines

  1. I like this, especially the L'Engle quote at the end. This format of storytelling has so many possibilities... It was a great idea!
