inspiration
The inspiration for the blog renovation and new title comes from a very special someone.
We were making cheesecake on Friday afternoon, discussing the divinity of my white chocolate raspberry cheesecake. I must have said something about how unhealthy it is (3 blocks of cream cheese! sugar! cream!) and he said, "That's okay. Some things are good for the soul. Your cheesecake is soul food."
So it obviously got me thinking about soul food. It's not just food. It's music, poetry, optimism, happiness, love, friendship, family. All those things that feed your soul.
We could all use a little more soul food.

fifteen things
Ok, I was tagged too.

#7 I can't wait to live in Idaho.
#8 My favorite smell is the smell of new books.
#9 Vegetables are my favorite food.

the one with the crash
This girl is seriously the luckiest girl in the world.
I'm pretty sick of talking about the details, but a lot of people have been wondering. I was about 10 miles outside of Flagstaff (I know...almost to the apartment!) and my car rolled at least 3 times and I landed upside down. I spent a few hours that day in the emergency room. My car is totaled and completely dead.
On that subject...a moment of silence for my dear friend.
...
But amazingly, I'm okay. The whole thing was a huge testimony builder for me. Looking at the car later, I am shocked I was not injured worse. Or dead.
I know for a fact that I was protected. It wasn't exactly a fun experience, obviously. But looking back, I realize how lucky I am.
