Favorite Place

Week 1 

My favorite place that I've had the pleasure to experience that encompasses a large majority of my childhood memories is Landsthul, Germany. I spent 7 years of my life living overseas and traveling A LOT but there is no place I've been that even comes close to how amazing I thought Germany was and I had thee honor to live there! You'd think at a young age I wouldn't be able to comprehend the true beauty of a place which is somewhat true but it wasn't until I left that I knew the teenager and young adult me  would miss it as much as I do now. People say the shock of moving from Europe to America or vice versa is huge and wow they weren't kidding. I could probably go on and on about all the small things I miss about Landsthul, Germany but I'll keep it short-ish and sweet. I've never seen a place quite as breathtaking as Germany in the Winter. They had the most elaborate, Christmas markets in the town square. The views never got old. How could you not fall in love with this? Please let me go back!

    Oh, this was exciting, Ashley: I looked up Landsthul on the map because I did not know where it was. That is a part of Germany I have never visited, so it was fun to read about it here in your post. I hope you will get to go back, and maybe you can do a Germany-inspired project for this class. It has one of the great folktale traditions of the world, of course, thanks to the Brothers Grimm and other folktale collectors. Here are some of the free books online I have bookmarked for Germany; there are so many! :-) link: Germany: myths and legends

Week 1   I didn't think in college i'd have to make so many blogs for my classes but surprisingly I do, and surprisingly I always never know what i'm quite doing. I find them interesting though as I am not one to write my thoughts down and I actually hoped this year that would change; it's New Years resolution for further context. As January is coming to an end and I have yet to do that, little did I know a class would help me get started.  I've waited literal *years* to take this class and it's finally here! My name is Ashley and I am finishing up my last semester at OU as an advertising major. I know the word advertising is "annoying" but I love the strategy behind all of it and its interesting to see how the world adapts through media and even just advertising. I hope I can take my major and do something big with it someday! When I'm not working or doing school stuff I actually kind of like to golf, cook and workout. I just started golfing so ob

 Week 11  The Giving Trees (Source: Three Trees ) Have you ever wondered how "mother nature" or "mother earth" ever got it's name? Mothers cherish the life that they bring into the world. They nurture it and watch it grow just like all things on earth. Mother nature experiences all aspects of life and death in a repeated cycle. It watches all forms of life grow and flourish.To truly experience it, we must examine these cycles or life and death and how it can be a beautiful thing.  There was once was two brothers who were rather mischievous. Their mother was constantly getting onto them about how often they would play and not help around the house. She was exhausted as she was very poor and had to clean, find food, and cook, just to support her family. One day she asked her sons if they would go find food as she needed to rest from working so hard that morning sewing clothes for them. The boys were furious as all they wanted to do was play games. The mother begge
