Imitation vs. Authentic

Have you ever walked into a room full of people and still felt completely alone. Or have you been surrounded by friends and family that love you and yet still long  for something more. A relationship filled with longing and intimacy, where love is a driving force and your day isn't complete until that relationship is found. For the last couple of months I have understood this feeling, lived it and tried to fill the desires of my heart for relationship with a cheap imitation. Have you ever baked with cheap imitation vanilla? I have. Its watered down and gives off the idea that it is....well.... imitation, like it is titled. One day I found actual vanilla in the cupboard, when poured out I could smell the rich yet comforting scent of vanilla.....this was the real stuff. These last couple of months I have been using "imitation vanilla" relationships in order to fulfill that longing in my heart. After examining my heart, breaking certain ties and giving many issues over to ...

Aahaan....(Food)

I cant help but take a second to talk about the food that I have been eating here in Thailand. Let me start off by saying that no the spider isn't food...at least I think it isn't. But I hope you do enjoy the picture of it, I get to see this spider up close and personal as it has decided to move into my house...Yay!!!

So far about 99.9 % of the food I have eaten is street vendor food and I wouldn't have it any other way. Many people back in the states told me either to eat the street food or to stay far from it. In the community that I live in (samaki) there isn't a grocery store nearby (unless you count 7/11, which are everywhere and you can get bread and other things there) and its alot cheaper to by from vendors. So street vendors ...

Celebrating 1 Year

Image
A couple weeks ago I decided that I wanted to celebrate my remission by doing a Light the Night Walk. The Light the Night Walk is an fundraising event by the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society that raises money for the research of cures for blood cancers. The walk is only 1 mile (yay). This weekend my husband and I went to our very first Light the Night Walk. I went into this event already knowing that I would cry at some point but not knowing that I would want to cry at every point... mostly tears of joy. When my husband and I got to the event we checked in at registration and walked over to the tent to get our lanterns. At this event each participant is given a lantern with a specific color. Red lanterns are for family and supporters. Gold Lanterns are in recognition of those we have lost to the fight. And a white lantern if you are a survivor or current fighter. My husband got his red lantern and I was told to go to a different tent to get my white lantern. I walked over to the ten...
