Always Remember you this way.

Before you died I had almost gotten to the point that I felt healed enough from our last experiences to try again on repairing our relationship. But I didn’t.

Colder Weather

My brother died recently. Unexpectedly. Tragically.

More than Anything

My taste in music is generally pretty edgy. I like some depth. Some raw, live acoustic music. Throw in a raspy voice or deep inflection, some passionate lyrics, and you’ve got me in my happy place.

Battle Scars

Grief and Loneliness can be gripping. Terrifying. Seemingly Unbearable. And with all of the rules and isolation we’ve had, it’s just hard to go it alone.

Hallelujah

I have been thinking for a while about what song could embody 2020. It took me by a while, but I arrived at the song ‘Hallelujah’.

I lived…

“Hope that you spend your days, But they all add up. And when that sun goes down, Hope you raise your cup.”

It’s been awhile…

That’s the opening line from the title song by Staind. I guess you might not expect a blog like mine to include songs with explicit lyrics.

It’s time to say goodbye to women not talking about their personal female struggles!
