The Apple Tree
17, Dec 2009[Reposted from LaughingTree.org]
I love Christmas carols, often starting into my Christmas playlist in early October. Maybe it’s because I was born so close to Christmas, but I find these songs so rich and moving.
When I recorded my first album, Tonic, I opened it with a carol, O Come, O Come Emmanuel. Then we moved to [...]
5:15 a.m.
7, Dec 2009Saturday night, well actually Sunday morning, we went to bed at 5:15 a.m. Adam was sick, and I was uploading a million photos from our trip. Go check out our photos page. Then I slept until 2 p.m.
Last night, we went to bed around midnight, and we’re both awake now at 5:15 a.m. unable to [...]
A Felicitous Encounter
20, Nov 2009Today was our fourth and final day in Balti/Falesti, Moldova visiting Felicia. We’ve had an amazing time. Everything has been even better than we had imagined, and I think we were able to encourage Felicia in addition to spoiling her with some nice things. On top of that, we had two nice afternoons getting to [...]
We’re Going to Meet Felicia
9, Nov 2009Four years ago, Adam and I saw this adorable photo of seven-year-old Felicia Stavila, and we knew we had to love her. Felicia lives in an orphanage in the little village of Falesti, Moldova. Moldova is one of the smallest and poorest countries in Europe– a tiny crescent between Romania and the Ukraine.
Moldova has an [...]
Cutting through the noise.
19, Sep 2009I’m trying to keep the double-posts between Lofbomm.com and LaughingTree.org to a minimum– this is our personal site and Laughing Tree is our professional site, but of course there are vast overlaps, though, so double posting will happen. I’m sorry if you’re subscribing to both blogs and get this twice:
You’ve heard us talking a lot [...]
It was a Sweet Soiree
18, Sep 2009We had a great time at the Sweet Sleep Soiree tonight. Thanks to Jen, Jon and Stuart for all they’re doing for orphans in Moldova, Uganda and Haiti. Jen Gash (the super hero and founder of Sweet Sleep) shared about the dire need for beds, bedding, and mosquito nets for the orphans and displaced children [...]
Korean Pop
15, Sep 2009We had dinner at our friends Brandon and Lesley Ann’s house tonight. They asked us about Korean pop culture, and I got lost down a rabbit trail, pulling up videos some of the most popular Korean bands and also some indie ones we really like.
Here’s an introduction to Korean pop culture through music videos:
First, the [...]
Mawwiage, what bwings us togevuh today…*
14, Sep 2009One thing about living abroad is that we’re a bit out of the loop. Today marks the second time we’ve run into a friend who, three years ago, was in our “young married” circle either through church or socially that when we ask how their wife and young kids are, the answer is a stammering, [...]
It’s a gas, gas, gas
11, Sep 2009Seeing as a person is completely stranded in big-wide America without a car, Adam’s parents have awesomely lent us one of theirs while we’re in town. Although I’m a good driver, I don’t love to drive. I happily let Adam drive almost all of the time. Add to that the fact that we don’t have [...]
Lightfield: creativity is your gift
11, Sep 2009Our friend recently hipped us to a great blog called Lightfield (www.whatislightfield.com) where they dig into a broad range of topics related to creativity, arts, culture, and responsibility to the world we live in. On their about page, they say, “Lightfield connects creatives and their art with the needs of others in our towns, cities, [...]
