Music Tells My Stories

Good afternoon, my Lovelies! It has now been the better part of two weeks since you've heard from me. Have you missed me? Gracious, so much has happened during that time span! Before I begin...how ya doin'? Is life treating you well? Happy and healthy? I certainly hope so! So what has been going on with me? Well, first off, I didn't mean to go so long without blogging. Sorry about that! But, well, life. Second, if you didn't know, I spent last weekend in New York City with my youngest and some friends. It was a fun, but very exhausting trip.  What did we do? We visited Times Square, saw Beetlejuice the musical (I cannot tell you how absolutely phenomenal this show is!), we ate brunch in a cafe, visited shops and bakeries, and, of course, had a slice of one of the finest pizza pies I've ever had. (Ok, so quite a bit of our trip revolved around food. It happens.) Picture this - It is a beautiful spring day. The sun is shining, and the birds are singing. You're sit

Good morning, my Lovelies! Happy Easter to those of you who celebrate in one way or another! I hope you've had an amazing week and for those of you who have been on, or are going on Spring Break, I hope that you've found time to relax, rejuvenate, and refocus on the priorities in your life. Well, y'all...I did it! I got my website made and it is up and running. You want to know what else? I did it without a damn bit of help from anybody else. And as fucking frustrating as it was to get done, as fucking annoying as it was to ask for help and get no response (not even an "I wish I knew so I could help you."), I'm proud of myself for figuring it out and making it happen. (Now, before she reads this and bitches, I did have one friend to connect me with someone that offered a suggestion, the problem being that I had already taken steps on my own and there was no turning back to start the process over. - Love ya, Boo!) I know that probably doesn't make much sens

Good afternoon, my Lovelies! It's a bright and beautiful Saturday morning and I am finally getting around to writing my blog for the week. Y'all. I give up. I'm just going to start aiming for Saturday mornings because any other time throughout the week seems to have gotten so busy that it just doesn't happen. So, at least for the time being, you can look for my blogs on the weekends. How are you doing? Did you sleep well? Have you had your coffee? If not, go grab yourself a cup and sit back and relax, prop your feet up and hold on tight. So, as usual in my frantic, cart before the horse, undiagnosed ADHD, let's do things as completely out of order as possible mind, I have once again taken a leap without thinking about the fact that there was probably a set of stairs that would have made my life much easier. What have I done? Well, I went and bought a website.  That's great, right? I now have a website! Well, not really. You see, I subscribed to a hosting service

Good afternoon, my Lovelies! First and foremost, I hope this past week has been kind to you. Second, please know that I didn't forget to write my blog this week. No, on Thursday I began writing it, was most of the way through with it, and then deleted the whole damn thing. You see, when I went back and read it, I realized I was not in the right headspace to be writing that day. Not. At. All. Am I today? I guess we'll see. Last week was a highly emotional week for me, and while I'm not in the correct frame of mind to discuss some of the lows, I will definitely share some of my highs as well as some of my frustrations. Let's start with the best part of the week for me. Well, that one is easy. The last book in the Cassidy Brothers series was released last week, and while there were some unexpected technical issues, they were extremely minor and the release went well. I can't begin to tell you the relief of having that series not only finished but fully available to my
