Day 16/365 – On fashion
Day 161/16/17 Today I read an article about fashion, specifically tips on how to become more fashionable. It was aimed at women, encouraging them to be more bold in their clothing choices, which will inevitably translate into being bold in life. Although not immediately transparent, it’s not far-fetched to see the validity of this claim […]
Day 15/365 – On preparing to fly
Day 151/15/17 Exactly halfway of the first month of the 365 Challenge of daily blogging that I set for myself. That’s 1/24th of my total goal! Wow that actually made it more intimidating somehow. Although, that’s a better ratio than 1/365th, which is what it was for my first day. Moral of the story: it […]
Day 14/365 – On bittersweet endings
Day 141/14/17 Our last day in Iceland was bittersweet. We managed to drive through a blizzard on semi-icy roads to see our last point of interest: the Golden Circle. Driving through some points felt like we were surrounded by a thick white blanket of snow and fog in the distance. First we stopped by Thingvellir […]
Day 13/365 – On Friday the 13th
Day 131/13/17 Incidentally, today is Friday the 13th, and I am starting to feel that our house is haunted. It is very cozy, with furs on couches and musical instruments and artwork in the living room, and an interesting bedroom layout upstairs. But there are some extra rooms, and nooks and crannies that make me […]
Day 12/365 – On driving in Iceland
Day 121/12/17 Today we journeyed to Vik, where there was beautiful black sand and silky-smooth pebbles of all sizes and shapes, chiseled by the magnificent strong waves of the Atlantic Ocean. There was also a highly symmetrical design sculpted into the side of a rocky mountain by the shore. The waves were so powerful and […]
Day 11/365 – On prices in Iceland
Day 111/11/2017 Day 2 in Iceland reveals even more rugged beauty than at first glance. My toes were in sore need of cayenne or toe warmers to return some feeling and improve otherwise feeble circulation, but alas I forgot to get the former and left the latter back at the house (!). Nevertheless, with taking […]
Day 10/365 – On beauty in Iceland
Day 101/10/2017 Yesterday melted beautifully into today over the span of one flight and crossing of several time zones. Yesterday I was in a different city, country and time zone, and after embarking on my journey, I woke up in a new land and a day ahead. Moreover, I am now in a place of […]
Day 9/365 – On productivity under pressure
Day 91/9/2017 Days always go by in a blur when traveling. Especially when you are packing on the day of travel. Today is one of those days for me. Stressful but exciting! Finally got a small window of time to write a little something. Yay! A little pressure is always good to get the wheels […]
Day 8/365 – On intention and follow-through
Day 81/8/2017 A full week has passed since I started this 365 daily post challenge/resolution. It’s already proving difficult to follow through. But I am determined and hopeful of my perseverance. It takes work and dedication to set any project in motion. We should not be afraid of the work. Our passions are the driving […]
Day 7/365 – On religion and faith
Day 71/7/2017 Wow I really can’t get used to writing the year of Our Lord 2017 yet. Speaking of which, today is Christmas observed by the Orthodox Christian faith. I don’t want to get too political or religious on this blog, but I do want to talk about beliefs and respect. In light of the […]
