My three best reads of the summer: Tragic books that promote change

September 6, 2011 by thirdeyemom

I am an avid reader.  I love to read and keep my brain always thinking, learning and dreaming.  I miss the long gone good old days of college because I simply love to learn.  Thus, I always have a huge stack of books beside my bed just waiting to be read.  I often try to read books about important issues (such as women’s rights, religion, immigration) or books set within another culture or time period.  I’m actually a very strange […]

At the top of the World:  The Throung Pass, near 18,000 feet

Why Nepal changed me

February 10, 2011 by thirdeyemom

Photo above:   Our guide, my dad, our porter and me at Throung Pass, at 6 am and almost 18,000 feet!  WE DID IT! The trip of a lifetime was my trip last November to Nepal.  My 68-year-old father and I wanted to do something unique.  As an avid hiker and climber, my father had dreams of one day seeing the mighty Himalayas.  I had also dreamed of hiking there and with a milestone birthday approaching (40!) I agreed that there was […]
