With my two hands.

Today was an unusual day. I got a call from my husband when he went to drop our daughter at school and he told me that school was closed for Passover. I raced to the car and met them, and picked up my daughter and he went off to work. He was a bit annoyed. Not at ...

Here comes the comeback kid…

(photo above updated October, 2016; taken live from show October 24th at Union Transfer) Today, in the words of my most favorite, Brett Dennen, I felt as if "I'd never been laid so low". That may be a bit hyperbolic, but I was definitely feeling low; I got an unexpected putdown that kind of knocked the wind ...

Grateful.

This morning my heart is overflowing. I don't know how to begin. Last night, my husband and I hosted a political fundraiser for a friend who is running for State Representative in the area. It was our first time hosting such an event, and it was incredibly special. It was also the debut of...wait for it...my new band. ...

“Whenever you feel unhappy…”

Yesterday was a pretty heavy day around these parts. And so today, I'm taking time to exhale and spend time with my guy, Brett Dennen. Because sometimes, you just have to dance it out. So that's what I implore you to do. Just dance it out. To my man Brett, and my favorite song, "Sydney (I'll Come Running)". Dance around your ...

Amazing things.

Lately, it feels as if my daughter is doing new, amazing things every day. Every hour. Whether it is a new word or expression, a new number she is able to count to, a new connection she's made or memory she has conjured and expressed, I am finding myself constantly in awe of her and the speed at which ...

Baby is back….baby!

Why, hello there! Yes! It's me! I'm back! Remember me? I first wrote to you one, whole long year ago. Yes, it's me! I'm back! HEELLLOOO! So let me just begin by getting a few important things out of the way: One, I am no longer a baby. I am a big girl. See how much more eloquently ...

Wrong About Me

Today, I took both of my kids to school. They go to different schools. I dropped my daughter off first. During the five minute drive from her school to his, I played this song twice. "Wrong About Me" (I am including a link to a live performance, but I also highly recommend that you check out the studio version). https://youtu.be/dFI-eR-VLHc And you ...

It really was no miracle.

What happened was just this... Last Fall, I made the very personal confession that I struggle with nightmares. Back then I was experiencing these bad dreams 6 out of 7 nights. I dreaded going to sleep. But it's gotten a lot better. Two nights ago, I had a nightmare, again. And then yesterday I had a really crappy ...

Anniversary 7

Today we celebrated our Anniversary 7. It's funny; I was going to say that it was the best Anniversary that I can remember, but then I read this post from three years ago and I realize that it is impossible to even try to compare. We are absolutely and completely different people than we were when ...

My WEEK in music.

Earlier this year I wrote about my band, Fox and the Hounds, and "My Year in Music." The truth is, if I had to site the three things that defined my past 19 months most, things that, in many ways, saved me from getting lost in a dark abyss, they would be: 1. My incredible network of loved ...
