“Lily, a great dane lost his eyesight due to a rare disease. He became disheartened until he met Madison. They have been together for 5 years and Madison guides Lily by the leash and touches him to make sure he doesn’t stumble over anything.” True Friendship. Wow! I saw this on Pinterest and I was so moved by this. Humans are no where near as dedicated … Continue reading True Friendship
So my dear friend and sistah from another mister, Amy, tells me today, “I think you should learn how to scuba dive.” (She’s a scuba diver herself, so this isn’t a strange beginning to a conversation.) What she didn’t know when said this to me, is that I was already thinking of this. On my 2nd trip to Key West, I tried snorkeling and I … Continue reading Trying New Things & Expanding My Horizons, One Crazy Idea at a Time
There are a few things in life that make me happy with music being one of them. There are certain artists who will always put me in a good mood, calm me down, relax me, or make me excited to be alive. Rammstein is one of those bands. It’s kind of hard to explain my love/obsession for this band. There was a period of time … Continue reading Rammstein Rave!
If you’ve read anything I’ve posted before, you probably are aware of my belief of the Universe and the signs it gives you. I believe if you’re tuned into your surroundings and aware of what’s going outside of your own head, that the Universe gives you signs.

I’m tired of being a fat ass and though my friends and co-workers reassure me I am not a fat ass, what I see in the mirror is someone I’m not happy with. So with all the craziness that came with work this week, I decided this week, was my … Continue reading God Gave Me a Brain
“We know that hockey is where we live, where we can best meet and overcome pain and wrong and death. Life is just a place where we spend time between games.” —Fred “The Fog” Shero, who was the head coach of the Philadelphia Flyers during their Broad Street Bullies days. When I read that quote, I thought, that is it. This is what hockey means … Continue reading Life is Just a Place Where We Spend Time Between Games
This little gem is my niece, Taylor, using her crayons as a microphone to sing along to Eric Church. We listened to the song over 20 times today. [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZPUyVEoDB8] Continue reading Sunday Sing-A-Long
There is no better feeling than hanging out with friends and there is no better feeling than running through the rain and jumping in puddles of water up to your knees. As one of my favorite quote says: it’s not about waiting for the storm to pass it’s about learning to dance in the rain. Tonight…I danced in the rain! Continue reading No Better Feeling
I have been in a mental battle with myself lately. The what I should be doing vs the what I should not be doing going at each other like a dog and a cat in battle. Somewhere over the weekend, as I floated on a boat, reliving my teen years, life clicked. It finally said, “get your shit together.” Maybe it was the words of … Continue reading Changes
One island…two visits…Key West 2012. Yes, I am beyond excited! You can read all previous Key West posts and maybe understand, how much I love this island. And every time someone asks me what’s so great out about, I tell them 2 things: My soul feels at peace the moment I step on that island.
