12 for 2012

If your 2012 was anything like mine, it was a great year filled with transformation, hope, uncertainty, dreams, and life changing choices. I've chosen 12 photos and 12 blog posts (not necessarily related) from each month to capture what 2012 has meant for me. I thank each and every one of you reading for joining me on my journey and…

Happy 11-11-11 & 2-Year Anniversary!

It's hard to believe it's been 2 years since I started 6 Months to Live. November 11, 2009, I was sitting on my mom's couch that evening carefully crafting the theme, the name, and the beginning widgets for this blog. I knew almost nothing about blogging and even less about Wordpress. I had no idea if anyone would even read…

21 Days: Day 21+

Yay! My friend and I have successfully completed our 21-day experiment of eating extremely healthy. It was at times downright difficult, even in San Francisco, but it was worthwhile. Last Sunday, we ate our final meal and discussed some of the challenges and rewards of the journey while munching on my all-time favorite, Persian food. Rewards I didn't get my…

PlayWhy not?

“Shit Happens!”

Since I referenced Forrest Gump in my last post about the importance of play, I figured "Why stop?" The Capture the Flag event at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco was incredible and quite international. In addition to the US of A, players hailed from Canada, China, Colombia, France, and New Zealand. There was a good mix of people that…

Playdates

What was your favorite part about childhood? Mud pies? Make believe? Dressing up? Climbing trees? Running for no reason Capture the flag? Sidewalk chalk? Forts? All these activities share something in common: unbridled freedom, creativity, and fun! Photo by Marjorie Bertrand on Unsplash Why do we stop using the word play? If I had one phrase to capture my early…

Day 87: Adventures of Jax + Sparks

I feel like a grown-up superhero with my canine sidekick, Sparky, a black lab/chow mix. Sparks' 'mom' is currently in Thailand, so I'm pup-sitting until she returns. We've already had our set of adventures, including trying to bathe an unwilling 65 lb dog in the bathtub, chasing squirrels in Buena Vista Park, and occasionally waking up with a wet nose…

Day 65: A New Life

Life presents many opportunities. The trick is to both recognize them and to take a chance. I'm making headway in my "Keeping Promises" post from December. I had an audition for a community theater project this week (and got accepted into the troupe!), I'm actively working on the book, and most importantly, I moved to San Francisco. Calm In the…

Day 6: Why Not?

How many times have we been told at some point in our lives, "You can't do that!"? Like most children, I often responded with, "Why Not?" As children, the "Why Not?" mantra is so prevalent that the infamous "because I said so" reply gradually transforms into "because that's the way it is" or "it can't be done" and many of…
