    It Starts With Yes

    Here is an acoustic version of one of the songs he played.   Last Sunday I got a phone call. It was 8:20 at night. I had just put on my pajamas and was ready to settle down to binge watch  House Of Cards. The voice on the other end was my girlfriend Kristy. “Come…

  • Secrets-Mary Lambert

    Sometimes a song just makes you smile. This is one of those songs. I love the lyrics, I love the artist, and I love the message. Mary Lambert became famous when she was featured on Macklemore and Ryan Lewis’s song Same Love. Her voice is amazing and I am so happy to see some of…

    Just Do It

    I’m a list maker. When I don’t accomplish my tasks, they get transferred to the next list. Sometimes this goes on for months. There are just some things I do not want to do. They seem too time consuming, too boring, or just too hard. What I continue to be reminded is that no matter…

  • Weekly Writing Challenge: Moved By Music

    THIS IS YOUR LIFE – ARE YOU WHO YOU WANT TO BE? This writing challenge asks us to look deeper into songs, artists, albums or lyrics that speak to us.  That inspire us.  That represent us.  I have chosen Switchfoot. A band that symbolizes my quest for growth and depth in my life.  Whose lyrics…

  • “Love would never leave us alone.” Bob Marley

    Today in the water was a Bob Marley kind of day.  It was a beautiful day with bright warm sun and small gentle waves.  The conversation with Candace came easy. I feel surfing and reggae are connected somehow.  Maybe it is the prevailing message of peace and harmony that both can bring.   Maybe it’s…
