Do What it Takes to Keep a Smile on Your Face
I woke up in bit of a funk this morning. Partly due to the lack of sleep, the headache I feel asleep with, the slight freak out of money now that I’m back from Australia, and how I was suppose to start my reboot of life this week but moved it to next week, dreary weather and so on and so on. Then I realized, … Continue reading Do What it Takes to Keep a Smile on Your Face

There are … Continue reading 01.10.12 – Song of the Day: “Rewind” by Stereophonics
Goals of 2012
I don’t normally make my “resolutions” vocal because I often fail in doing them. There’s nothing more than that one friend or family member who will constantly chides you on your failure, epic or not. Having said that, I struck out the word resolution and made them goals for myself. Goals are sexier than resolutions. Goals seem easier and my dear friend Amy inspired me … Continue reading Goals of 2012
01.09.12 – Song of the Day: “Southern Cross”
This song popped up on Pandora while I was listening to the Jimmy Buffett Channel and it completely changed my mood from crummy to good. This is one of my favorite Buffett covers and one of my favorite songs. I even have the southern cross tattooed on my arm…an ode to my love of astronomy and the spirit of the sky. It’s a permanent reminder … Continue reading 01.09.12 – Song of the Day: “Southern Cross”

Daydream Believer
As I was returning from my walk with Nick, a fabulous fellow asked me as he passed me, “Do you know dreams last for so long even after you’re gone?” I thought a moment and then answered, “Yes.” I then asked him what brought on this thought and he answered “I heard the line in a song and bottomless mimosas which actually does have a … Continue reading Daydream Believer

01.06.12 – Song of the Day: “Fresh Green Freedom” by Xavier Rudd
I woke up with this song in my head. It was perfect accompaniment on my morning walk with my dog, Nick. The only thing missing was an ocean view.

This song is just a reminder to me to take … Continue reading 01.06.12 – Song of the Day: “Fresh Green Freedom” by Xavier Rudd
