Promoting engagement and responsibility within generation 'y'. When Borrowers become Lenders…Heroes…and possibly exploited. Blowing Around in the Wind →. March 26, 2010. My roommate Colleen and I often feel guilty about how much fun we have here in Zaporozhye, Ukraine (lovingly referred to as Zap by Ukrainians and expats alike). To this end, we’ve created a series of videos about our life in Zaporozhye and all the fun that ensues as a result. Please enjoy! This entry was posted in Uncategorized. You are ...

RUSHIN’ the RUSSIAN …or… How I’ve become a horrible person to get to know in only 4 weeks. March 3, 2010. Step 4 never happened. The interpreter never called this morning and it all fell apart. I love you Kiva, but why the *&%# did you send me to Ukraine, when I speak no Russian or Ukrainian at all? I interviewed in French! I’ve since learned that I had. And so I visit Anya, my Russian ...

Promoting engagement and responsibility within generation 'y'. New Post on the Kiva Fellows Blog! Expats in Zap →. When Borrowers become Lenders…Heroes…and possibly exploited. March 26, 2010. Ukraine’s small business owners have been squeezed on both sides. Providing small loans of their own is not an uncommon way for these businesses to stay afloat in such difficult circumstances. We have lots of borrowers, Tatyana Syomkin told me. Sitting in their shop, looking around at well-stocked shelves run by Tat...

Relying on the Kindness of Strangers. March 11, 2010. Following my latest post about language barriers and related difficulties, I got many a note from friends and family telling me to chin up and come home if I needed. I guess what I considered to be. Was really just coming off as dull complaints… my bad, friends.

Promoting engagement and responsibility within generation 'y'. The Power of Microfinance →. Blowing Around in the Wind. April 22, 2010. God forbid I title this “Blowin in the wind.” Does the addition of “Around” reduce this blog’s corniness and cliche? Well regardless I’m a week and a half from my Zap departure date. As I could have guessed, I’ve really loved my time in Ukraine, even in Zaporozhye, and am sad to be leaving this new found home and favorite job of my life. I have no idea. I’m tired, ...

Always Giving Thanks: Long Distance Love
http://alwaysgivingthanks.blogspot.com/2014/02/long-distance-love.html
Life, Marriage, and Growing Our Family after Coming Home. Friday, February 14, 2014. It's kind of interesting because fear is what I needed to get over when she was being born. Literally, I asked the doula to tell me to release my fears and out she came. I am not sure what it is about this little determined, inquisitive, contemplative, precise little girl that makes my heart wonder if I am doing this right. I wonder if I can give her everything she needs. I wonder if she is me. Stephanie @ Blessed to Be.

Life, Marriage, and Growing Our Family after Coming Home. Friday, January 25, 2013. 7 Quick Takes Friday. CR is a week old. Already. Wow. Somehow in the last 10 days AG has gone from being a baby to being eligible to be drafted by the NFL (at least size-wise). What? It's not possible for a two year old to play football and she's a girl? What a difference just a matter of days can make. I am older and wiser (ha! Starting Tuesday we will have three weeks straight of grandmas! Links to this post. Thanks to ...

The name Men’s Day became a popular term of referral I think because Conscription the practice of compulsory military service for all men was practiced under the Soviet Union. Thus, all men were considered defenders of the fatherland. Kostia, Volodya, Zhenya and Max showing off the gifts we women got them for Mens Day.

Life, Marriage, and Growing Our Family after Coming Home. Tuesday, January 14, 2014. The Bitter Truth - Why I Stopped Blogging. Throughout history people have chosen to become reclusive in order to ponder things that are greater than them or just get a handle on life. That pretty much sums up 2013 for me. It was a "keep your head down and just push through" kind of year that was rich in blessings. I have gained perspective and am much more honest with myself about who I am. Looking Back on 2013. I want t...
