As most of you know, I traveled Europe for three months on my own last fall. I left August 17th and returned November 22nd. I had to make my own decisions. There was no one else that was going to make sure I ate dinner, that I got a place to stay, that I arrived safely to my destinations on time. It was only me.
There’s a lot of new things going on over here in the life of Ashalah. New, exciting things. Things that were desperately prayed for, things that took me completely by surprise. First, I got a job. It’s not THE job, I am still waiting to hear back from that one but after eleven months of [...]
*Unhealthy Relationship Habit Can I take a moment and talk about unhealthy relationships? I know I rarely talk about this kind of stuff on here anymore, a kind of self imposed rule I have where I don’t talk about relationships because that’s all I did on my last blog. Was a bit too much of [...]

It’s time again to take a look back through my archives and pull out a post from my past. This week marks the one year anniversary of taking my life into my own hands and making big decisions. On June 12, 2009 I sat in my apartment on the Upper East Side and purchased a [...]

I hope you will overlook my slight discretion because I have a bit of a request. You see, I have made some seemingly poor decisions over [...]
As summer rolls into town, there is something that I miss that I cannot get here in CO. There is something that is so ingrained into my summer memories that I cannot help but have a slight twinge of longing for it, even while I’m enjoying my new state. And that slight twinge? Isn’t so [...]
Yesterday morning I found out I didn’t get a job I had wanted. It was my first official rejection (that I actually cared about) and it sent me into a tailspin. I had a bit of a panic attack as I read over the form letter informing me that the position had been filled. By [...]
