How I did it
It made me
happy! 
How I did it: I thought of someone to make it for, and that really helped. I kept thinking that every time they wore it, they could imagine me hugging them! I haven't given it to them yet, but I am excited to do so. Read how I did it…

How I did it: My father used to lead Art History-based tours to Europe, and I got to tag along on some of them. When we went to this cathedral, it was damp and musky inside, very cavernous. There were lots of illuminated books behind glass, as well. It made me feel like an explorer.

How I did it: I work 5 days a week, and for some reason, it was very challenging to coordinate with my partner to go camping.

I moved around a lot as a kid—like an army family, my mom and I followed my dad’s insatiable appetite for knowledge and new experiences everywhere! Now, I feel like I am looking for where my roots are, and they seem to be in a lot of places. So, I feel a pull to move back to a lot of different places that I have and have not lived before.
I realized that I haven’t made very many friends here in San Diego (I moved back in May 2009) because a part of me feels like putting down roots is a waste of time. After living here for 6.25 months, I have come to a powerful conclusion:
If you never put roots down because you fear the hurt of being transplanted, you will never live.
With that, sparrowlion us making every effort to root.
