How Does Our Need for More Affect the Human Race?

February 20, 2019 By Linnet Kazemi Leave a Comment

Growing up, I remember my family and I going to the mall.  It might’ve been our local mall, or, a larger, grander mall that required us to drive a longer distance, but I always looked forward to each of these trips.  Some trips, we were on a mission, racing in and out for the few items on our list, but other times, we would just leisurely stroll around the mall, … [Read more...] about How Does Our Need for More Affect the Human Race?

A Forgotten Love: Cooking

September 22, 2018 By Linnet Kazemi Leave a Comment

Before the days of endless to-do lists, there was cooking.  I used to love to watch cooking shows as I savored my own home cooked meal or flip through cookbooks for that next meal that would delight my taste buds. But as the years went by, and life got busy, cooking became a forgotten love.  Gone were the days of spending a lazy Sunday afternoon finding a new recipe, shopping for the … [Read more...] about A Forgotten Love: Cooking

The. Sheriff. Found. Dad. Four words. Four words that forever changed my life when I heard them on Friday July 8, 2011. It was 7:30 in the evening.  The sun was setting on a hot summer day, and as everyone around me prepared for a weekend spent cooling off, with any activity that included water, my world was forever changed. At my Dad's memorial service, I started to get a … [Read more...] about Teaching me to slow down and live in the moment may be my Dad’s greatest gift to me.

Play? Who has time for play?

September 22, 2018 By Linnet Kazemi Leave a Comment

What does a healthy life look like, or more importantly, feel like to me?   It's a life where I've turned away, for even small moments of time, from the fast pace of the age we live in.  Where I decide, purposefully, which activities to participate in, rather than drifting thoughtlessly from one activity to the next. It's a life filled with exercise, that invigorates and … [Read more...] about Play? Who has time for play?

A much needed reality check for myself

September 10, 2018 By Linnet Kazemi Leave a Comment

I've mentioned before that I'm trying to stop making lists.  This is one of my goals for this journey. However, with that, I also need to be honest with myself, is giving up my need to plan everything ahead of time. In years past, the thought of having a free day, that I hadn't planned down to the minute, to make sure that everything got done, was never an option.  "Just go with the … [Read more...] about A much needed reality check for myself
