Everyone suffers from addiction at some point in their life. That sounds a little crazy and shocking, but everyone at some point becomes addicted to a substance, idea, or entity; however, it does not need to be negative. Personally, I grew up in an area where drugs were around, but they weren’t the only thing. […]

This blog-post is very generalization* heavy, so I am open to confrontation, opinions, and criticism. * All generalizations are compiled from my experience with people of privilege, i.e. people who attend(ed) University, attend(ed) private high school, and live(d) in safe areas of the world.* A conversation I had with my coworker this week sparked my blog post today.

It’s weekends like this one where I can wholeheartedly say, “I love my job.” On Friday night, Jess, Karen and I hosted my favorite event of the semester: spiritual paint night! For me, I relish an excuse to turn off my mind and just create for a couple of hours, that’s why I love our […]

More specifically, the journey of life, the moments that make it up and the people we share it with.When I think about my journey, my mind is quickly drawn to high or low points, clearly defined, with tangible lessons learned on the spot. This post is not about those […]

My Collegiate Identity is one I find to be increasingly about “I.” My future. My homework. My schedule. My needs. It is hard not to focus solely on oneself in an atmosphere that encourages us to look inward at our true identities, taking four (or more) years of discovery to find our personal passions, preferences, and […]

I have been attached to the concept of energy since the middle of the summer. Energy is what I seek constantly in my life. I believe in the power of energy, and more importantly how much I learn from energy. In my third year at Boston University, I have tried to portray a different energy […]

My name is Phoebe Oler. Here I go. During this weeks staff meeting on Monday night I was able to deeply reflect on what is important to me in prayer and in life. It began with Bach Sunday and the cantata about the evils of the hypocrisy of Christianity: when one doesn’t act what they […]

Last week I felt blessed. It was the first meeting for the Boston Bridges Fellowship Program, a program designed to create relationships between religious and communal leaders throughout the Greater Boston area. There were twelve Fellows and amongst them six Christians, two Rabbis, two Muslims, one Hindu, and one Baha’i. Coming from a community where […]
