I could probably blame Jimmy Buffett for my wanderlust and introducing me to the Aboriginal songlines, but I can only thank him. His music has been a friend, a comfort, and inspiration for me. If he hadn’t taught me the meaning of songlines or dreaming tracks, I would have eventually discovered them on my own. This past weekend, I added 2 more permanent reminders from Jimmy … Continue reading La Vie Dansante
When my oldest niece, Riley, was born, I decided to try and be the most positive and supportive person for her.

The wisdom … Continue reading You Do Make a Difference

I hope to share my love of the ocean, the night skies, traveling and music with them. … Continue reading Letter to My Nieces: Peas in a Pod

Some people have these dreams to be superstars and world famous for something. I wasn’t put on this earth to become the next sensation. I knew I was put on this earth to make a difference in at least one persons life. I didn’t have to be aware of it, but I knew I would make a difference in one persons life. It didn’t have … Continue reading Making a Difference

Riley & Taylor,It’s been a while since I’ve written you two a letter. I could make up a 101 excuses but the only one I can give you is that I’m lazy. Sometimes, I’d rather just sit on my couch, watch endless episodes of X-Files (my current old obsession) and ponder the meaning of the Universe. I’ve seen 50 episodes of X-Files so far and … Continue reading Crossroads
