July was just July. Nothing crazy happened. Nothing bad happen. It seemed too long and it seemed too short. I was madly inspired by friends (thank you Amy and to Melissa & Chris). July was just what it was and I’m okay with that. Continue reading “Songs of My Life: July 2015”
June might have been the longest month ever. From beginning to the end, it felt like it was never going to end. It was like watching the days slowly tick by like the hour hand on a clock. June beat me up a little and I’m glad it’s coming to an end. The songs for this month were songs for my soul and spirit to not give up, to not quit the fight, to not give up my dreams. The songs were anthems on how to live and to be. Continue reading “Songs of My Life: June 2015”

March only had 6 songs. It was a weird month. One where I finished the first draft of my novel The Sound of Madness (yay!) and couldn’t find the energy or motivation to start the second draft (boo!). A month that brought the beginning of Spring with snow and as it comes to an end, I am happy to see March end. I’m over snow. I’m over gray skies … Continue reading Songs of My Life: March 2014
The boys of HOT-lanta’s Stokeswood have release a highly infectious and danceable tune and we cannot get enough of it. The gang here at 16 Clefs were introduced to this band on 2013’s Rockboat by Sixthman and we fell head over heels for them. When you see a Stokeswood‘s show you cannot help but find yourself moving to the beats and rhythms of the music. They … Continue reading NEW TRACK: “Our Streets”
October was a weird month. I faced fears, but mostly, I felt like I spent most of the month being more conscious of me and what I want and who I am.
