Nashville

Some of my best moments have been in this town.  But also, some of my hardest. Isn’t that the way it goes?  The joy and pain are always intermingled.  It’s impossible to separate them – the laughter and the tears – because life cannot be compartmentalized like a preschooler’s cubby wall.  There is always something…

When the sun goes down

Last night I had a dream that Kenny Chesney and a completely bald Keith Urban wanted to hang out with me.  Actually, to be specific, Kenny asked if he could drive my car, and I was like, “CAN YOU EVER” – which is weird because I generally distrust men in necklaces. So Kenny, Keith, and…

On second thought

Today’s blog was deleted due to the unnecessary amount of drama it was going to cause.  I’ve got enough going on – I don’t know why I was inviting more emotional turmoil. If you missed it, you’re just fine.  I think it kicked a lot of ass, but it probably wasn’t the most tactful of…

What’s next

I struggle with the question, “What am I doing with my life?”  I always have.  And with each passing day, week, year, I am no closer to finding the answer – I am learning to just take one day at a time. However, even though I might not know what I am doing with my…

Let’s talk about:

The comments that you left in response to Thursday’s blog I was blown away by a couple of things: 1) the TRUTH that was so evident in so much of what you were saying, and 2) the HONESTY about something that isn’t easily summed up in a cliché phrase.  I love that so many of…

Please tell me.

You know how some married people, when asked, “How did you know he/she was the right one?” answer, “I just knew”? What does that MEAN?  What are they (you?) referring to?  And should single people be holding for it – whatever it is? Or is it just a completely bogus statement, fabricated to placate the…

Back

I arrived home last night to 2 dead flies on my bedroom carpet, and one crawling on the wall above my closet. I killed it with my bible study book. Then, I discovered 4 more humongous, buzzy black flies in my bathroom. I shut them in there in hopes that when I woke up in…

What’s been going on

Last week, while the EP listening party was happening here on the blog, and I was steadily posting a new track each day, there was a lot happening in my life.  Like, A LOT a lot. My mom was diagnosed with cancer – soft tissue sarcoma.  The doctors removed a mass from her hip socket;…
