Hey Lovelies. I just wanted to pop on and share a little playlist of songs I made that I’ve been listening to lately. I’ve been stuck in what Liz Lamoreux refers to as “the and space”—in a place of both hope and uncertainty. The idea of “the and space” is that we as humans can be both light and dark, sad and happy, hopeful yet uncertain. It is that place…
Hey Lovelies! I wanted to pop this right here on the blog and share the current playlist I’ve been listening to all throughout this Covid Quarantine. I used to create and share these types of playlists all the time back when I first began blogging, and it was always one of my favorite things to do. I don’t really know what happened, but I’m hoping I can create and share…
I haven’t been listening to music like I used to. I think that’s a by product of either getting older or that mainstream music sucks and I don’t want to waste time searching out good, less mainstream, music. So I fall into the trap of listening to my already established favorites and re-listening to past favorites that are still relevant. And you know those songs are special because they can…
I felt it was time to share another mixtape. I wish I could post these more often, but I don’t really listen to music like I used to. But I think that is because I don’t know where to find great music anymore that isn’t from the 1980s. Anyway, this mix is filled with all sorts of modern pop music goodness that I’ve been listening to over the summer. Since summer…
So, I’ve been working on a new story. It’s been awhile since I wrote fiction and a long while since I made a playlist! But I’ve had this idea for this story of mine, which is called the stars are bright (hence the name of the mix), and I even have a few pages of a first chapter! And while the ideas have been swarming around in my head, I decided…
It’s been a bit since I shared a mixtape. To be honest, I’ve been listening to the same handful of songs over and over as of late. I’m quite addicted to My Head Is An Animal by Of Monster and Men. I can literally listen to that album all day without getting bored with it. I’ve also been listening to U2’s new album, Songs of Innocence, on repeat as well.…
Honestly, I haven’t been listening to much music like I normally do. I have no idea of what’s new or old, on the radio or not, a hit or a flop. No clue. If I’m in the mood for some tunes, I play a couple of my old U2, The Beatles, or Bon Jovi records and dance around my living room like I’m in an 80s teen movie sequence. Really,…
I felt like it was time for a new mixtape. I actually had most of these songs in a playlist already, like four or five of them, but never really added more in order to make a decent list on 8tracks. But there were a few songs that were on my mind lately and they both seem to relate, so I thought I’d share. This mixtape is called coming home mostly because…
I’ve been working on a story called forgetting charlie for a while. it (and other things) have been taking up my time, which is why I haven’t written on the blog in a while. But I’ve sort of hit one of those lackluster moments in my writing process and I haven’t written a single word of that story for weeks now. So, in an attempt to get some sort of…
I finally got my book in the mail, so naturally I’ve started catching up on all the wonderful art journaling prompts for my Summer of Love class. One of Day 3’s prompts was to journal your summer playlist, so of course this gave me the opportunity to create a brand new playlist just for my art journaling! I have a ton of songs I’ve been listening to lately, my phone…
Empire Records has to be one of my favorite movies ever. I could literally rewatch this movie a million times and not get bored with it in the least. It’s your typical early-90’s teen movie, the feel of it borderlining between your classic, The Breakfast Club and your cult favorite, Dazed & Confused. I have an affinity with both of those movies (not to mention I’m a huge John Hughes fan, as…
I’ve always liked making playlists. When I was younger, in the days before CDs, I remember having a pile of blank cassette tapes my dad got for me sitting on my desk. My boombox or walkman was always tuned to the local pop radio station. I’d sit there for a while just waiting for my favorite songs to come on, just so I could hit record and get them on…
