Songs of My Life: May 2020
Groove {slang}: to appreciate and enjoy to please immensely Groove. That was what May was about. Finding my groove. Getting into the groove. Grooving along. Groove. The theme was in the song titles, the music itself, and in the way I was feeling within. Listen on Apple Music Listen on Spotify The Chosen 3: LIGHT (energy): “The Bull” by Kip Moore This song brings me … Continue reading Songs of My Life: May 2020
Feels Like Home
I’ve been in Australia since 13-November 2015 and chasing that Australia dream since my feet hit the ground. Half of the first year, I had a place to stay, in the basement of the family I helped take care of and then moved into a studio. When I moved into the studio, it was perfect at the time and perfect for me at the time. Just … Continue reading Feels Like Home
Moving Out and Growing Up
It’s time to move out and to continuing growing up. Literally and figuratively. This is my last Saturday in my very first apartment here in Sydney. I’ve lived in an Art Deco building built in the 1930s for 4 years now. The apartment has been nothing but good to me. Giving me the sanctuary I needed from the world outside when needed, entertaining me with … Continue reading Moving Out and Growing Up

Songs of My Life: April 2020
April has been ONE. VERY. LONG. MONTH where seconds seemed like minutes. Minutes seemed like hours. Hours seemed like days. Days seemed like months. I’m over isolation. I want normality back but I will do what it takes to flatten the curve and keep others safe. Even if I’m fucking miserable. Mentally, I have my ups and downs. Mostly ups with moments of “Quarantine Dumb” … Continue reading Songs of My Life: April 2020
Dropping the Mask
It’s Sunday, 5:19pm as I start to write this. “Zhill Down” by Neotic is playing and there is some celebratory clapping going on outside my windows. I did a whole lot to nothing today. And cried during Yin Yoga. Not from physical pain but I suppose just permission to release. Maybe I haven’t been handling this whole self isolating, work from home as well as … Continue reading Dropping the Mask
Songs of My Life: March 2020
I’m glad you’re ending March. You’ve been a doozy for the world. With Corvid-19 literally and figuratively taking over the world be it in people or the news, stupid politicians doing stupid things (though that’s always been happening) to here in Sydney, Mother Nature can’t make up her mind. She’s having hot flashes one day. Rain the next and then wind that could put the … Continue reading Songs of My Life: March 2020
Some Days…
Some days are diamonds. Some days are stone. That’s what John Denver sang anyway. Some days just kick you in the fucking teeth. Some days just leave you the hell alone. And some days are just well…days. Nothing more. Nothing less. Just a day that you should be grateful to be on this amazing round ball orbiting around a bright star in a sea of … Continue reading Some Days…

Songs of My Life: February 2020
February has thrown me for a loop this month. With it being a Leap Year this year, the extra day has thrown me out of whack. I started the month with a cold. It went away within a few days but the cough it left behind still lingers. Waxing and waning to “not that bad” to “why are you still here!?!?!” Last week, energetically, I … Continue reading Songs of My Life: February 2020
