  • The Comfort of January

    Sometimes a lecture drags on and on and on...and sometimes Janurary does too. 

    But while a never-ending lecture can be boring and annoying, I've decided there is actually something comforting how slow and steady Janurary feels.

    Thanks for your support!

  • You Can’t Run from Mozart

    This is less a post about classical music and more about how seemingly simple things can be surprising complex. Also, how they force you to look more closely at things you may have been avoiding or running from. Maybe. 

    Do you agree? Disagree? Let me know! 

    You can read the post here. 

    Thank you for listening, reading, supporting, sharing!

  • Memories, Collected

    Lots of people have written about memories. Andrew Lloyd Webber is one of them. Maroon 5 is another. And now I have too.

    If you'd rather read it, you can find it on my blog here. 

    That's it for now, folks. Thanks for listening, reading, supporting in general. If you liked the post, why not share with a friend? After all, sharing is caring.

  • But Mostly, It’s Wonderful

    Christmas is not the only time life is wonderful, am I right!? 

    This is a post about going with the flow and letting things happen. You probably already know these things, but sometimes we need to be reminded (at least, I do). 

    Read it here. 

    If you liked this post, take Eminem's advice and tell a friend. I'd appreciate it!

  • Monday

    I used to dread Mondays and routine and schedules. But now I find myself appreciating the calmness that Monday provides and this life that I have created for myself. 

    Anyway, I wrote this post on a Monday...but feel free to listen to it any day of the week, obviously. 

    You can read it here.  

    Thank you for listening, reading, supporting, sharing!

    Let me know your thoughts :)

  • Snow and Windows

    Snow and windows; windows and snow. 

    The snow never fails to draw me to the window. Maybe it draws you to the window, too? 

    This episode is also available as a blog post. 

    Thank you for listening, reading, sharing, supporting!!

  • ‘As Fine as a Bee’s Wing’

    This post was inspired by the beautiful line in 'Beeswing' by Richard Thompson. 

    It's about feeling easily breakable, and frail, and tender. Sadness feels like that, but happiness can feel like that too.

    Thanks for your support.
