Notes from the field #1

August 30, 2015 By Tamara

Notes from the field #1 Monday - August 24th 2015 I woke up at 6 today and got out the bed at 6:20 a.m. Actually I woke up at 3:37 a.m. and don’t really know when I fell asleep again. Must have been nerves. Thinking about all the elements coming together for my first ever 3-day workshop. I’ve been planning it for the past four weeks and yes I’ll admit I am an over … [Read more...]

Local Government Capacity Builder

July 16, 2015 By Tamara

A Day in the Life... Sweat dripped down my back as I clutched my minute book and walked across the street to the government clinic. It was only 8am but the glorious morning sun was beaming and in full effect. The walk from Moloadi's office to the clinic always takes about 5 minutes. Unless someone stops me on the way to chat adding more time to the journey. Today I was lucky … [Read more...]

Merrell Down and Dirty 5K

June 28, 2013 By Tamara

If you've been following my musings since the beginning then you may have picked up on my  semi-health conscious streak :) I try my best to eat healthy, exercise and take care of my skin and hair. Last weekend I had the opportunity to undertake a 5K (3miles) obstacle course with my siblings. And let me tell you...IT WAS SO MUCH FUN!!!! The race was called Merrell Down … [Read more...]

Natural Hair Meet-up!

May 20, 2013 By Tamara

I attended a natural hair meet up with one of my friends yesterday. I believe it was my first natural hair meet-up EVER!  I generally don't attend these events because:  1.The good ones are never in the same cities (or countries) that I am   AND 2. I think its a bit odd to focus so much attention on "natural hair" and not combine it with "total body wellness". *Seriously … [Read more...]

It was so much fun :) I attended the show with one of my good friends Alisa. If you've been reading my musings for a while, you've actually met her before here.  The smiley face is covering someones big head :) The … [Read more...]

Connecticut shooting, Gun laws, RIP dear children :(

December 14, 2012 By Tamara

I have no words for whats going on in Connecticut right now. But I can't say that I am surprised.   Affluent neighborhood + guns that are easily accessible + emotionally unstable 20-something white male = ...   America we are privileged to have so many freedoms in such a great nation but with those freedoms comes responsibility.   Time to start enacting stricter gun laws. … [Read more...]

December, Surgery and Jamaica

December 9, 2012 By Tamara

Wow it's December 9th already! I've been really trying to keep this blog updated. But I can't believe today is my first post of December.  Well the past few days have been really crazy with prepping to go to Jamaica, getting paperwork in to register for classes, and I had surgery :(  No worries though. It wasn't a big procedure but it was  necessary.  Moms turkey meatballs … [Read more...]

Happy Thanksgiving!

November 27, 2012 By Tamara

One thing I love about blogging is looking back at my older posts and reflecting. Last year my Thanksgiving celebration was in my tiny one room apartment in South Korea. Being able to share what this day means with my Korea friends (and one Brit) was amazing.   This year I was able to spend the day with family and friends in my hometown. The first stop was at my mothers job … [Read more...]
