Grab a cup of tea, your favorite coffee or a glass of wine...and settle into your favorite place, that chair in the corner with a blanket and just listen to a little story (in poem fashion). A little escape. An escape for a moment to breathe, let go, and drift into a story. Listen now ...
Do you enjoy your own company?
I remember when the show SATC was originally popular and I admit I was watching during reruns...I saw the episode where Carrie took herself out. No phone. No book. Just herself and her meal, at a table for one. It was such an accomplishment for her...and truthfully I feel like it is definitely a stepping ...
April showers bring May flowers
...I can buy myself flowers is a song I never thought I would care for, mainly because of the artist who sings it, but I judged too quickly. I didn't give her enough credit. The song sings to the soul of so many of us. As does great music overall. A song, a tune, ...

When you've had a day, a week, a month, and even a year (already), take a moment. A moment to unwind. A moment for you. A moment to sit back, relax, and take it easy. Have you ever noticed that a song, or even just a lyric from a song, can change a mood? When ...
What are we reading now?
Reading is something I dove into as a kid, and never quite let go. I admit, that while I was in college and grad school, reading on top of all the reading I already had to do, wasn't as common. I dove more into tv series and movies in my downtime, but reading never quite ...
Winter Cheer
Winter can be hard with the short days and weeks that sometimes feel like months. BUT sometimes the right playlist can turn our mood into something a bit more optimistic. So, forget the groundhog, and the 6 more weeks of winter. Forget that the sun doesn't come up until 7, or that it gets dark ...
