Changes to the website

Submitted by Vegan Goddess on 15 June 2009 - 6:01pm

I've been tinkering with the website, as you probably noticed, trying to make it more user-friendly.  The navigation buttons are all at the bottom of the snazzy new banner; the front page has changed; I've enabled ratings for everything (yeh, that was on the to-do list for a very long time, but I never finished the configuration).  Also, I've configured subscriptions.  There are two easy ways to subscribe to content: 1) when you log in to the website, click on Notifications.

World Traveler

Submitted by Vegan Goddess on 9 March 2010 - 11:32am

I'm trying to land the experience of a lifetime: traveling the world for free, compliments of STA Travel.  I'd spend a few months traveling, writing, and taking pictures... which is what I've been doing anyway, as we all know!  It's a video application process, and I'm up against at least 250 other people for two slots... but I really think I have a chance. This video showcases some of my adventures over the last year.  Dublin to Singapore, seven countries, and 800 miles by bicycle later...

Beneath the Surface

Submitted by Vegan Goddess on 4 March 2010 - 1:51pm

Well, it's been a good run, vegan-goddess.com. But I need a change. It's not you (I still think you're great and hope we can still be friends)--it's me. I've changed.

I think the new site name, Beneath the Surface, is a better reflection of where I am at this point in my life. It has many meanings...

On the surface, it refers literally to where I spend a lot of my time these days: thirty to 100 feet beneath the shining waves, eye to eye with fish. Scuba divers look at the water completely differently from most people. It's only natural.

World Traveler Intern

Submitted by Vegan Goddess on 4 March 2010 - 1:39pm

STA Travel is taking on two interns this summer for a dream job: travel the world and document it for the world--all travel expenses paid.

Which is pretty much what I do, as you all know. In the last year-plus, I've taken you to Dublin, London, Paris, Barcelona, SIngapore, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok and all over Thailand. I've shared my experiences with yoga, meditation, and Buddhism; running, cycling, and scuba diving.

So here's a video of some of the highlights that I put together for my internship application. I hope you like it.

Scuba Discovery

Submitted by Vegan Goddess on 26 February 2010 - 8:26pm

For me, scuba is a means to explored this amazing underwater world, so different from our own. Subtract the water, and these sand worlds become the landscapes of a desert planet in a sci-fi movie. Though it seems lifeless to the untrained eye, upon closer inspection it prompts you to reconsider your definition of life as strange creatures literally clam up as the strangest creatures of all, the mammals with tanks on their backs, drift by, blowing their air bubbles.

The first seahorse I saw, I thought it was dead.

Baggage_09-06

Submitted by Vegan Goddess on 8 September 2009 - 4:51pm

Lyrics:

She played you like a $2 banjo
and wondered why it sounded out of tune
She's sorry for the things she did
But sorry don't cut it when you're facing ruin

She learned all her lessons
Sharp as a knife
From the manual "How to Edge
your Way Through Life"

Running from your problems only means
your back is turned when they catch you
You can run far and fast as the day
But chances are they’re hiding in your baggage anyway

Maybe I'm just doing myself in
When I dream about me and you
Maybe that's why I like it so mu

All I Can Think Of_09-03

Submitted by Vegan Goddess on 4 September 2009 - 8:38am

Lyrics:

Every time we talk it seems I change my tune
It’s like a test, do my ideas hold water?
In answer, you drench me like the Southwest Monsoon
I would drown if I were a yachter

This tug of war between 
Thought and feeling
Will stretch my limits or
Tear me in two
I’m lying here
A million miles from all I knew
But all I can think of is you

I need to learn some new mistakes
I need something to change my mind
I don’t know how much more of this I can take
I take it all back and rewind

This tug of war between 
Thought and feeling<
