Yesterday, I received the most incredible 30th birthday present that I could ever imagine. Brett Dennen sent me a guitar. Did you catch that? Brett Dennen, about whom I have written a significant number of posts, right here on this very site sent me a guitar. As in, there was a packing slip from Fed Ex where he had written ...
My relationship with my son is an extremely complex one. It is so easy for me to write about my daughter (my mini-me); in fact, I have literally hundreds of posts from which to choose, that would each somehow illustrate her character or our bond. I was just searching for the post in which I ...
If you follow me in any way on social media, or if you have spent more than 5 minutes on this site, you will know that I am an enormous fan of the person and musician named Brett Dennen. You might know that my favorite song is "Sydney (I'll Come Running)" because of it's profound meaning ...
I had a few conversations recently in which I shared that one of my very favorite words is "charm", in both it's noun and verb form. I was just looking up the video that I made chronicling my past year in music, and do you know how YouTube shows you a list of videos down the ...
It is because of this group that I am now hiding under my comforter, 30 minutes before my alarm is set to go off (that is if my human alarm does not wake first), with the courage to write about today.

Because although I have endured pain in the past year, there is unique, exquisite ache that comes with nostalgia, which is really the heart of this post. Nostalgia is defined as ...
Well, it may not be our thwarted big family trip to St. John, but I'm cozy, under a blanket, listening to my main man's music, working on THE NEW WEBSITE and OMG do I have a story for you as my big premiere. I literally could not make this stuff up. Stay warm and stay tuned.
if it's the last thing I do. No, really. He's so awesome. And I can safely say he is my second favorite enormously tall, bespectacled redhead. I just discovered this version of one of my favorite songs--one that we perform in my band--so I thought I'd share the love. [youtube=http://youtu.be/vjVHbI4PacQ] Heart emoji.
