“Music is well said to be the speech of Angels.” –Thomas Carlyle I love music. I have always felt that music is the most powerful way to touch a person’s spirit. It surpasses all language barriers and it can go right to the heart and soul. And without a doubt, songs of praise do that […]
“The fruits of today are always the seeds of yesterday. Each day of your life you are sowing seeds that one-day you must harvest.” –U.S. Anderson The choices we are making today and the actions we are taking are all helping dictate what our lives will be in the future. My little brother wrote a […]
I don’t often share videos in my blog because I know everyone’s time is short and just the fact you take time out of your day to read my blog is such an honor that I try to keep them quick to read. However, I had to share this video with you today because it’s […]
I would guess most of us have either heard of or seen the bumper stickers which read, “Mean People Suck”. I happen to agree with that sentiment. When someone treats another person mean I really struggle with it. When I hear stories of bullying in our young people, or see people taking pot shots, or […]
“The greatest gift you can give someone is your time. Because when you give your time you are giving a portion of your life that you will never get back.” Reading that quote made me feel a little better today because I have been racking my brain all day to try and figure out the […]
No doubt that the contents of this post may in fact lead you to cry. It certainly made me cry! I was watching the news a few days ago when I heard them announce that Garth Brooks was going to be performing on the show that morning. I was so excited when I heard that […]
Tonight I am taking my daughter and her friends to a One Direction concert (Don’t judge me 🙂 ). A year ago when their concert tour was announced, she literally begged me to take her and her friends to the concert. She made the typical promises of “it’s the last gift you ever have to […]
I am thoroughly convinced that you can’t be sad when you are holding a cupcake or a bowl of ice cream. It is impossible to do. And that is why I highly suggest that anyone having a hard day go out and get either a cupcake or a bowl of ice cream and then you […]
Last week I had the privilege of taking my family to Disney World for the entire week to spend time together as a family. We have been trying to spend as much time as we can with one another before my two children leave to college at the end of the month. First you must […]
Years ago I came across a speaker named Loretta Laroche, who is absolutely fabulous. She teaches people how to let go of stress and allow humor into their lives. She is definitely one of my favorite motivational speakers. Seeing as how today was a very long and stress filled day, I decided I could use […]
There are two types of people in this world, and it’s not those who like Neil Diamond and those who don’t for you “What About Bob” fans. No, I am referring to those who Grumble and those who are Busy Being. If you haven`t heard of the “Grumblers” and the “Busy Beings” before, let me […]
Back in 1999 a poem came out that I thought was cute, but not especially meaningful. Later they even made the poem into a song. As I read that same poem today I no longer find it just cute, I find it extremely meaningful and I can’t help but get choked up by it. Oh […]
Waking up in the morning is hard. Especially when you are working late into the night and not getting nearly enough sleep, which I am sure many of you suffer from just as I do. That alarm going off in the morning has to be my least favorite sound in the world. But tonight my […]
It is rare for me to be so passionate about a movie that I want to tell the entire world that they MUST go and see it – but today that is exactly what I am about to do. As those following my blog know I am involved with the Sundance Film Festival and have […]
Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. […]
Okay, so I was watching the TV Show the X Factor tonight when this couple came out together and did a singing/rap song that a girl and guy in a group called Second Hand High wrote themselves. The son was called “You Better Ask Me To Dance”. When they first started singing the song my […]
