Stumble Upon...

I just found this song (and great artist) by a serendipitous stumble-upon... Love it when that happens! Answers a lot of unbidden questions. One about memory in particular...

Hello September

 

Goodbye Summer, hello Autumn/Winter...looking back and looking forward at the same time. 

In the Pink: Sweet Sunday Whimsy

As sweet as cotton candy... pink and fluffy and whimsy-filled:

Song for a Summer's Night

"See, honey, I saw love. You see, it came to me.
It put its face up to my face so I could see
Yeah then I saw love disfigure me
Into something I am not recognizing..."

Something Beautiful

 

This song is equivalent to a big bright blue sky with the sun shining! ~

Ukulele Love

Music to calm a romantic maelstrom... It has a ukulele :)

Sunny Monday

 A happy Monday?! Why yes, it's summertime!

Song for a Rainy Summer Day

Song for a rainy summer's day, where epiphanies wait to implode/explode:

Secret Lives...

From 'The Secret Life of Walter Mitty', a really great film about living your dreams, with an even better soundtrack: 

Lost?!

Do you ever get lost sometimes? Wander off your road by accident or default? And is it okay to admit it? And is it possible to move on? Find a map of stars to follow and plot a future to?

May Day

Happy happy, joy joy, it's May! Flowering free May.

'Happiness, here it comes, like a train on a track...' 

Hello My Old Heart

Whatever about Easter falling in April, this month to me, is always the one in which the chrysalis on my winter-worn heart is shed. Spring is fully here, and a new year (my birthday falls in April) means new wings eager for flight.

It is like rediscovering your old heart - your oh-so-better beating true self, youthful, vibrant, alive and believing, triumphant free hoping heart! 

Here's to this season of becoming (who you really are/want to be.) And the jubilant joy of it :)

April, Approximately

'Oh look at you now, best I ever seen...'

The sound of April, of spring, of new light, new possibilities, new loves, new feelings, new chapter:

Heart's Content

Funny to think that love has a rule of its own and never dies, goes on living without its hosts. Strange surmise isn't it? But sweet yes. And maybe true.

'We both retreat to opposing sands and the love lives on without us...' 

Blue Skies Are Coming

'cause blue skies are coming, but I know that it's hard...'
 

Reconsideration

How susceptible we are to the heart's hopes. To feel torn between letting go and all the while, secretly, silently, hoping for the heart to step up and win out, and overrule against it...in a crescendo of true feeling.

Small Steps, Big Jumps

It's almost Spring. Some days I skip along to this, haloed by sun, others I stumble back into winter. Small steps can be big jumps. Big jumps can be small steps. Big jumps can be gentle, glorious in small/big ways.

Love, Always

'If you love someone, either you always will, or you never have.' 

True.

Lana Del Rey's tone is the only one to express this sentiment perfectly:

Love, Love, Love

Happy Valentine's Day!

I have to say, I love Valentine's Day, regardless of relationship status. It's a day dedicated to love. And in this day and age of modern indifference and emotional apathy, I think it's a much-needed day, whether it has corny connotations or not!

And no matter how many times I get my heart broken, I can never give up on Love. The lows are low, but the highs - well they are so worth it. How could it be possible to fall out of love with love?

To love!

'Love, love, love...'

'All the very best of us 
string ourselves up for love...'

This is just a big, happy, smiley, cheesy celebration of love that you just can't help but sing along with! It might even make you smile :)  ~ Love is Endless

February Fervour

It's February. First step into a new season, a fresh beginning. Saying goodbye to winter and hello to new warmth.
And it feels something like this:
