I began this blog in June of 2008 as an outlet to talk about my newly discovered passion, the MBTI personality types. It seems so long ago.
I have since embarked on a journey of getting an education. My passion shifted from being an MBTI enthusiast to starting (starting was the hardest part) and g... Comment - Like

I am seriously beginning to wonder if my brain is shriveling up. I cannot sit down and write a decent paragraph anymore unless it is required for a class. Even then, I can only crank out the bare minimum.
I have so many topics that I want to write about on this blog, but the thought of going through... Comment - Like

We were preparing to move to America. I was 12 years old. My grandmother, who had raised me exclusively from age 1 to 6 and intermittently after that, asked me if I wanted to go take a look at her new apartment where she will reside upon our departure. Without a second thought, I told her no, I had ... Comment - Like

I knock on the watermelons for the sound of ripeness before I pick one. Somewhere along the way, I started this habit. When I say "sound of ripeness," I mean any sound that doesn't sound like a dull block of wood.
Yes, you guessed it -- I have no idea how to pick watermelons. A friend once suggested... Comment - Like

The book ended. Sadly, they always do. I tried so hard to savor it as slowly as I could, forcing myself to read only a few pages at a time, but it ended nevertheless.
I wonder if the stories were allowed to go on and on, we would eventually tire of them? And if so, would we still speak of them as fo... Comment - Like

I spent a lovely day with my two kids. Having nowhere to be other than meeting some friends for lunch, we spent relaxing and laid-back 9 hours together. I am still in awe of just how much we truly enjoyed this lazy and stress-free day filled with mundane and ordinary togetherness. My kids probably d... Comment - Like

I started this blog, which is actually my third do-over blog/thought journal, to share my fascination with life in general, and the MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) in particualr, after having attended a week-long MBTI training session and becoming a certified MBTI nut (haha). My first post was tw... Comment - Like

I've been in school for a year and a half now, and it seems the more I learn, the less I know. What's that song?--the one that goes:
I say hey I'll be gone today
But I'll be back all around the way
It seems like everywhere I go

The less I knowWell...that's how I feel about my brain an... Comment - Like

I have not written anything about the MBTI in quite a while, but I've been thinking about an interesting question lately.
Do we perceive our MBTI preferences in comparison to the people around us? For example, I grew up in a family full of Js. And my husband is the king of all Js. Therefore, I, w... Comment - Like

I don't know what it is lately, but I've been discovering so many talented and creative people who write blogs. No, I'm not looking for them, but I somehow end up at their sites and drool over their creativity, which seems far superior to mine.

In class, we were introduced to the works of two contemporary glass artists, both amazing and fascinating in their unique styles:
Dale Chihuly
And
Josiah McElheny
In addition to the above images, you can learn more about them here and here.
Although they both work with glass, I am floored by how n... Comment - Like

There is so much talk about the shocking performances at the AMA last night, such as that of Adam Lambert.
It is no shocking revelation that artists will always push the limits and force us out of our comfort zone. That's the beauty and the gift of art. But when does it cross the line? Wher... Comment - Like
