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…

Why 28 is Great!

Even at 100, my grandmother always said, "My favorite age is the one I'm at because I'll never be this age again." As a kid, that statement seemed  obvious. "Of course you would enjoy and appreciate the age you're at," I thought to myself, but as I got older, I found myself wanting to look older and now that I'm…

“Shit Happens!” 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…

In-between Sizes

Remember that awkward puberty period? That was fun. Clothes were either too big or too tight. Styles looked good one month and a sudden body shift would turn it into a trash item. Our society addresses this idea of limbo with a somewhat negative connotation. There's a pressure to figure it out immediately, "What are your plans?" True Growth Comes…

Undo Button CourageNo Regrets

Undo Button

I recently located the "undo" button for my online checkers game, allowing me to instantly erase a move that cost me a king or a double jump. How nice would it be to have an "undo" button for life? How many times have we all said something we wish we could delete or acted in a way we've conveniently glossed…

Be You

The most courageous act you will ever commit is to simply be yourself. I rarely speak in absolutes, I can confidently say it takes sheer courage to be all of who we are. While living in China, one of the most prominent cultural differences I noticed was the idea of sacrifice and duty to one's family, culture, and society. Of…
