These beautiful earrings were a birthday gift this year from dear friends back in Indiana. It was a part of a package that my mom compiled and mailed to me in Tanzania containing over fifty birthday cards from people all over the U.S. Some friends included gifts as well, such as these earrings. I’m not…

Running isn’t as Boring Here
I hate running. Not because its that hard, or because it makes me sweat, or because I might mess up my hair. I hate running for the same reason I hated math in high school: its boring. But since I made the ridiculous decision to participate in a half-marathon later this month, I’ve discovered that…
A Month of Earrings… (Day 15)
Every girl needs a pair of hoops. Or two. Or three. These are definitely my favorite pair of hoops: big, bright, and beautiful. I have one other pair that is actually larger than these, but still, every time I wear large hoops, I laugh as I think back to one of my classmates who would always…
A Month of Earrings… (Day 14)
I bought this pair of earrings in Stonetown, Zanzibar during the Sauti za Busara music festival. With the swirls of metal, they seemed like the perfect representation of Stonetown, with its intricately carved doorways and vibrant history. They are also black with steel accents, which, aside from neon yellow, is my favorite color to wear,…
A Month of Earrings… (Day 13)
Yet another gift, these earrings came from my sister, Hannah. She bought them in Colorado (like the blue feather earrings), and sent them all the way to Tanzania with a sweet note about how she thought I needed a pair of “hippie earrings.” And so these are just that, my “hippie earrings!” They’re bright, colorful,…
A Month of Earrings… (Day 12)
Another pair of bicycle earrings!!! These are made from repurposed bicycle chain links, and are just so much fun to wear! If I remember correctly, they were handmade in Colorado, though I purchased them online. I chose them for today to match my TwinSix cycling t-shirt… and the fact that I rode my bicycle to…
A Month of Earrings… (Day 11)
Another tiny (for me!) pair of earrings, these come from Papua New Guinea. I bought several pairs of earrings while I was there in 2010 for Interface, but the grey, black, and white color scheme on this pair, makes them one of my favorite pairs of small earrings. Classy and unique.
A Month of Earrings… (Day 10)
These earrings (and tomorrow’s, which I’ve already selected) are among my smallest earrings. This pair was made for me by a friend, Erica, who has actually made me several pairs of beautiful earrings!
Ponderings…
I’ve been exhausted the past few weeks, despite going to bed early and getting up later than usual. Apparently, my ability to sleep from 2-5 and go all Energizer Bunny for the other 21 hours of the day is failing. Maybe its the end of the school year. Maybe I’m just getting old. =D Anyways,…
A Month of Earrings… (Day 9)
These were one of my first pairs of earrings. They were a gift from my roommate and fellow earring enthusiast my first year at the Miracle Mountain Ranch School of Discipleship. Over spring break, she went on a missions trip to Venezuela with her family, and returned with these. So, even though I’ve never been…
