A Reflection on Life, Love, and the Universe

The abridged version of this piece that I hastily submitted to the (No) Regrets Vocal Media challenge

Maher Zain - Alhubbu Yasood | #Syria

ساعد الشعب السوري http://humanappeal.org.uk Buy it on iTunes. All proceeds go to Syria: http://bit.ly/15Y3zfE Official Music Video of the track :- الحب يسود ...

A bit reminiscent of Christian Rock. My heart goes out to the ongoing strife in Syria.

Mailbox Peak

Mailbox Peak is one of those daredevil hikes people go on just to brag about it on social media. 4000 ft of elevation gain in 3 miles (or 6, if you go on the new trail), and there's a colorful mailbox on top that's plastered with a bunch of stickers you can take a picture with. It seems like the kind of thing you'd put on your college bucket list to tackle while you're still young and reckless. I first heard about the trail through seeing a couple ladies I knew post about it on social media-- and my young, reckless college brain vowed to one day trace the steps of those pairs of suave Gore-Tex boots clad in tight yoga pants. (I was and still am a connoisseur of yoga pants and the shapely beings that don them.)

Officially a published writer on Vocal Media! Hopefully the first piece of many to come! I originally wrote this for the Outdoor Shots challenge, but decided to spend more time polishing the ending. There’s no such thing as good writing, only good rewriting.

There is the joy of eating food, and there is the joy of gifting food.

Wrote this piece in a hurry for Vocal Media’s The Perfect Pair challenge. It got removed from the challenge a couple hours after being accepted as a story, but oh well. I wanted to write about one of my quirks that I picked up in college.
