Music has been my best friend through many stages of my life. Honestly, I cannot imagine life without it. I remember my dear friend in college saying that she’d give up every one of her senses before she’d give up her hearing. Music was her lifeline. Due to her influence on my life (yes you, [...]

“He is an artist…
…that draws the life that we all live.”
I must go to bed. It’s almost 1 a.m. and I have a packed-full day prepping for my sister and nephew’s arrival (weeeeeee!!!). But, to help me sleep better I had to get my dose of inspiration. Mackenzie Thorpe. He’s the type of artist … maybe the [...]

feeling freedom today.
He said, wrapping up his teaching, worn, leather Bible in hand, “This wasn’t written for the religiously and philosophically correct. It was written for the depraved. So much so, that a man who was known for his heinous murdering of Christians wrote a part of the Bible. And, yes. There is room for you, too.”

a ‘boho girl’ comment
I wrote Boho girl (writer of blog I highlighted in previous post) an immediate thank you email upon stumbling upon her site. I had only read ONE blog post and I knew that she deserved my gratitude. For her honesty and vulnerability and for putting into words what I have not been able to. She [...]
hungover.
I stayed up until 5 a.m. last night. FIVE. A.M. Like an hour before Corey gets up. I was not planning on it, but I got so enthralled by a good read that I just couldn’t put it down. I have a bit of a habit doing this. I am obsessed with memoirs and I [...]

a fake smile plastered.
We sat at a booth waiting for our food to arrive. Although Mom was sitting on my side, leaving Dad with a seat for two all to himself, I felt lonely. And terrified. Classes started the following day and I didn’t even care what food was coming my way. I was working much too hard [...]
