Life is a gift...don't waste it.
When you have five minutes left to live, are you going to waste a single one of them being unhappy?
The above question came out of this blog post I just read, about a woman who is battling Stage 4 cancer…and who is absolutely refusing to let it steal one moment of joy from her remaining time.
I have a very dear friend who has also just been diagnosed with cancer, and while it currently...

Thick and hard and fast...

Hot Bi Babe? Whuh?
This started out as a post on my social media pages, and quickly got too cumbersome…and I realized it really belonged on the blog. Some of you have never met me in person and have no idea what I look like; I apologize now if you feel left out of the conversation here, but the sentiment is relevant to many, whether you know me or not. I can promise you, you know someone who fits this, male or...

Eternally hopeful
I’ve been listening to this song on and off all day simply because I love the arrangement, the melody and the bass line. I’ve loved it since I first heard it nearly two years ago.
Just a few minutes ago, after listening to the song about 15 times throughout the day, I actually paid attention to the lyrics for the first time instead of just enjoying the overall effect. And holy whoa, it’s...
