AS WE DO, MUSICIANS STRUGGLE IN LIFE TOO

When you take a minute and listen to your favorite song, it can make you feel that they are singing directly to you. Why are the words hitting so close to home? We are all navigating through mountains and hills of our lives trying to get to the other side without losing ourselves along the way. Then the song starts talking about a journey through life, as if they too are on the same journey. WE ARE NOT ALONE Musicians are just like us. They too feel and experience their own mountains and hills. No two events in life are …

New Year, Fresh Start

A new year is here again. That one time in our lives that we take a closer look at ourselves and see what we might want to do better. The dreaded Resolutions! You have all heard them. Many have broken them. I lost count how many resolutions I made and broken within the first month.

Time seems to be running away

Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. That insufferable noise just doesn’t ever want to stop. Tick. There is just too many things left to do before…. Tock. I don’t have enough time to get all of this done. Tick.

When was the last time you looked in the mirror?

When was the last time you looked in the mirror and loved what you saw? For me, I can honestly say that it has happened, but it’s rare. Growing up, I was always the bigger girl in school. Started my first diet in 3rd grade. I tried everything I could afford. Weight Watchers, pills, Atkins, counting calories…Then I even had weight loss surgery.
