					<description><![CDATA[&#160; Not so long ago, I came to the realization that I&#8217;ve lived more of my life in the United States than I have in the Philippines. And for the most part, when I think of &#8220;home,&#8221; my thoughts immediately go to wherever it is I lay my head at night: next to my husband, &#8230; <a href="http://ivoryhut.com/2017/07/let-it-rain/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Let It Rain</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&#160; Hospitality is a strange word. Strange, at least, for someone like me who has spent a good deal of her childhood in and out of hospitals.

					<description><![CDATA[&#160; I learned quite a bit about patience this morning. Patience, heeding warnings, and moving on. All before finishing my first cup of coffee. Disclaimer: I realize the previous paragraph makes it sound like I experienced a monumental epiphany this morning. On the contrary, this post is not deep, profound, or philosophical in any way. &#8230; <a href="http://ivoryhut.com/2015/09/a-lesson-in-patience/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">A lesson in patience</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

Tom State Park, saw a sign pointing to a trail, and started walking. It was a cool morning and we explored the woods, happy to be &#8230; <a href="http://ivoryhut.com/2014/05/yellow-blaze/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Yellow blaze</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I think I've been wanting to write a book since I was six years old. 

(I almost said five years old, but I've been noticing that five seems to be the default age my memory coughs up when I want to replace the tired "as far as I can remember" phrase with an actual number. Not that nothing ever happened when I was five. I know for a fact that I began playing the piano at five. I probably also told my first lie when I was five. "Yes, Mama, I practiced piano today." Five is a safe age to use because it feels believable to have been at least marginally self-aware at that age. But if I keep using five for all my "since I was a child" stories, I'm afraid I'll wear it out. Only so many things could have happened when I was five, I know. No kid could have been that busy. So today, I'll say that I've been wanting to write a book since I was six.)]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&#160; Finding color again. It was a phrase I heard Penny De Los Santos utter back in 2010, when she spoke about the darkness that filled her world after a personal loss, and how eventually, a trip to India brought color back into her world. It was a phrase that resonated loudly with me.

Or perhaps because some of the best comfort food is the food you grew up eating.
