- [Alternate Sources of Protein](https://diana.leroischmidt.com/alternate-sources-of-protein/) - A big issue for me going vegetarian or vegan, is I do not love beans.

My sister in law pointed me toward cannellini beans which I like
- [Passions in Life](https://diana.leroischmidt.com/passions-in-life/) - There are a few things in life I feel pretty passionate about. Technology that is accessible to all. Technology available to all school children. Technology expands options and opportunities. Teaching people that technology is not the solution, but rather the tool to find the solutions. Breaking out of the model that you need to be
- [What is Home?](https://diana.leroischmidt.com/what-is-home/) - As someone who grew up in the same house, in the same town for the first 21 years of my life, home seemed really well defined. Life changes though and people spread apart. The reasons vary, careers, education, cost of living, or just dreams of living somewhere else. For myself, New England was always home...and
- [The Last Year of My 30's](https://diana.leroischmidt.com/the-last-year-of-my-30s/) - turning 39 is certainly weird. I don't feel 39. My 39 doesn't look at all like what my parents looked like at 39. I didn't think I was going to live past 30, so having cleared almost another decade seems even more surreal. I've certainly been plagued more with the questions of what am I

As I write this now at the end
- [Feeling Broken](https://diana.leroischmidt.com/feeling-broken/) - I've kept relatively quiet pre and post-election regarding politics. A few posts here and there, and everyone has confirmed for me why I don't venture down that road. No argument will be won here. No amount of truth, science or rational logic will sway someone who is dead set on believing their opinion is the

- [Slowing Down](https://diana.leroischmidt.com/slowing-down/) - As I'm working through how to come out of burn out and not repeat this cycle again; the thought occurred to me that I need to slow down...way down.

To say a lot has happened since December when I wrote about the ornaments, or let alone early 2012, is an understatement. My 30's have been an interesting time. Depressing, surreal and confident; not exactly three words one would normally put together. There is a lot

We decided at breakfast to drive as far
- [Day 10: Holy Crap That's Hot!](https://diana.leroischmidt.com/day-10-holy-crap-thats-hot/) - Even as a skinny kid I had a low tolerance to heat. Maybe it's the whole being born in February thing or my DNA, I do not like heat. Returning our car in the morning turned into chaos. The rental company did not give me a specific requirement. They called and I said, "Oh yah

Today's color palette was sage, tourmaline and terracotta. As we crossed into New Mexico all we could think about was what grass would look like on Mars. Highways that go in straight lines for miles and miles.

So Craig backs up, and we start towards the

Mom seems to be gone now, not sure if she moved on or something else happened. They're very curious, which is probably not good. I hope no one does anything to them, i.e. shoot or hurt them. They stick together and
