time goes by

it's funny the way time goes by so quickly...

i am in disbelief that may is already coming to an end and i will be leaving in 3 days {yikes} for my 'eurocation'...

part of me wishes i could stay and enjoy a lazy summer in manhattan {as i've done the last 5 summers} and spend time with the friends that will not be living in the same town when i return {and even the ones who will be}

...but the other part of me is excited that a lifelong dream is being realized. i don't know if i will ever be able to travel for two months in the future {or even two weeks for that matter} and so i am going to try to absorb every experience to the fullest.

for those of you who read this, please keep me in your thoughts and prayers.

bye bye for now! {my next post will be from london}

earthships {raw beauty}

Most of people think that houses made of earth are dirty and they have to sacrifice a lot of comfort by living in one but as you can see from the pictures, that’s just not true.

....someday i want to build an earthship.

my slogan

"nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent.

genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.

education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.

persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. the slogan "PRESS ON" has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race." {calvin coolidge}
