My favorite posts I've written

One of the challenges I had in my 101 challenge list was to keep a running collection of favorite blog posts I've written.  I'm not sure why I wanted to do this back when I wrote my challenge list, but I'm glad I did.  I had a fun time roving through my published posts, remember the stories I wrote, and reliving the passion when I had these great topics to write about.  It's been a good retrospective, and it's shown me a bit more of where I've been and of how I'd like to use my space in the future.

Here's my list of favorites, and I hope to add to this list later on!

• In Response to the Boycott on Target's Inclusive Restrooms  ::  When I saw Christians behaving in a way I thought to be unloving, I wanted to take a stand.  It's scary to talk about such volatile topics, but it's also a bit of an adrenaline rush.
• Why I won't be watching The Walking Dead anymore  ::  I know that I'm different, and I don't want to push my boundaries on anyone, but I do want others to know that having boundaries is okay.
• 3 Reasons Why I Believe in Counseling (and why I think everyone should go) ::  It's always invigorating to share things I'm passionate about.  I wish everyone could read and be moved by this post.
• Inspiration for minimalist hanging planters & DIY Lace Project Inspiration  ::  I wrote these posts when I was trying something new for my blog that hasn't stuck yet, but I still love the aesthetics and subject matter.  I had a lot of fun with these two posts.
• 3 Things I Learned in My First Year of Marriage  ::  Vulnerability in weakness and growth is an important part of helping others, and I feel brave for sharing some of what I've learned.
• How We Threw a Japanese Dinner Party (with tips!)  ::  This post has been tossed around Pinterest and a few other blogs, and I'm really proud to have written something so helpful!
• Women doing awesome things  ::  I didn't write much in this post, but I still love this small collection, and I don't want to cut things like this out of my blog.
• 12 Facts About Birth Control That You Should Know  ::  When I had to choose my own birth control, I felt so lost on where to start, what to believe, and what would be the best choice for me.  I really hope that my research helps other girls with similar decisions!
• New Obsession: Mori Style  ::  I remember looking for mori style pictures for so long one late night at the kitchen table.  I was so excited to share about this pretty, feminine fashion!
• Gwanghwamun Photography Date  ::  My friend Steph and I visited Korea's palace area with the specific purpose to take pictures, and it was a blast!
• Vacation: Boracay, The Philippines  ::  There are a few photos I really, really like in this post.  I'm so glad I got to visit not just as a tourist and that I got to interact with the people and culture.  The best way to travel, I think.
• Totally the Coolest Find in Seoul: Alice in Wonderland English Park  ::  This is still just the coolest.  Heavily processed photos, but still awesome.
• What Not to do with your Alien Registration Card  ::  This is one of my favorite stories I've ever had the pleasure to write!
• What They Call Me In Preschool  ::  My darling preschool class, they're so precious to me.
• An open letter to expats  ::  I think this was one of my first times writing with conviction about perspectives I wanted to change in others.  I still stand by what I saw.
• The Story of Mr. Gene  ::  This one's another favorite story.  The great news is that Mr. Gene and I became friends and he ended up publishing his book!
