New Look
Don't be surprised by the suave, new background - Eating with Integrity blog still provides the same delicious information. I simply upgraded to a more aesthetically-pleasing design. I hope you like it!

Cleanse
I wanted to write a follow-up entry to my last post about Anticancer, but the words are not flowing yet...
So I take a break, take a deep breath, and changed directions. I decide to clean out my old room in the basement, starting with the boxes marked Earlham College, 2002-2006.
Going through my college stuff brings back many memories. Class notes, programs from performances in Dance Alloy and The Vagina Monologues, emails / letters from friends, lovers, enemies... I could spent hours down here!
But, instead, I decide to let go.
As I toss old calculus exams and term papers in the recycle bin, I ask myself: why didn't I throw these away four years ago? If I need to reference anything in the future, I can surely look up online, right? And don't get me started on the emails /letters full of drama. I shake my head.
Aside from a few, select items, I pitch everything.
It feels good to let go.
I am grateful for everything has happened in my life, all of the experiences. I don't want to forget, but I also don't want to be held down or boxed-in by my past. Everyday, I am a new person, a better person than the day before. Always growing, ever changing, and forever trying to make the world a better place.
