If there is one thing I wouldn’t like to be without it’s music. My mom likes to tell me the thing she misses the most about me not living at home anymore are all those times I’d turn on my music and dance all around the house and jump on the bed and belt out… Continue reading Music Fills My Soul
February is one of my favorite months and not just because it’s my birthday month but because there are so many other celebrations that come rolling in, one right after the other, after Valentine’s Day. For starters on the 16th my parents celebrated their 37th wedding anniversary. My parents have been through so many hurdles and happy moments during all these years and… Continue reading Why I Love February, Plus Other Life Events

Today is the perfect day to write about this topic. I truly believe that all things happen for a reason, even the difficult things. There have been so many moments in my life that while I was living through them they sometimes didn’t make sense, especially when they were painful or scary. In time though… Continue reading Yes, things happen for a reason
I was thinking the other day how programmed we are to the different noises around us. The different sounds of our cell phone tell us whether we have a text, email, Facebook update, voicemail etc and often times we quickly react to that sound. But we don’t have a cue that reminds us to stop, silence everything, and just take… Continue reading Enjoying Silence
It’s almost midnight and I’ve yet to submit my post for the day. Since I don’t have a lot of time to think up something I thought I’d use some help from Daily Post. Todays topic is ‘what are you looking forward to?’ At first I thought of some general things like the fact that… Continue reading A little help from Daily Post
Today one of my younger cousins that I grew up with had her first baby, a beautiful baby girl named Carly. I don’t have any sisters of my own and this cousin of mine and her two sisters are pretty close to being that for me. We shared a lot of experiences together growing up and although sometimes we lose touch… Continue reading Relationships
