I have neglected my blog for a long time… too long. I’ve gone throughout the past several months and an idea will pop into my head that I want to blog about, but then I get side tracked with work, wedding planning, or photography jobs, etc… So I’m finally making a big effort to blog [...]

So much wedding on the brain lately. I’ve been emerged in wedding planning lately, and it’s very easy to get caught up in the minutia of details, when in reality I’m probably not going to notice these things on the day of the wedding. (Although, I want my guests to enjoy all the personal touches, [...]

I’ve heard this song several times on the radio and recently heard an interview with Britt Nicole discussing this song she wrote, “The Lost Get Found.” Her story that triggered her to write this song was very similar to mine and I’m sure many of yours. Do you ever get that feeling (as if God [...]

Pandora Video Series: In The Studio
I’ve recently rediscovered www.Pandora.com (a site you can create customized radio stations streamed from the internet – no commercials- by just typing in an artist or genre) and I came across their blog site… and found the video above. If I could have any dream job (besides a professional [...]

For those of you who know me, know I enjoy Christmas music year-round. I’ll even find myself jogging to a “random” list on my iPod and a Christmas song will pop on… i’ll look around (as if people are aware of what i’m listening to?) and just keep on jogging without changing the song.
So, today [...]

The past week there have been painters repainting my apartment building’s hallway. They do a really great detailed job, which takes them (two men) literally a day to complete a 40 feet width area of a wall area. But they use little equipment and take their time.. unlike me, I try to hurry and get [...]

My pastor recently inspired (no pun intended) me to write a list of things that inspire me and things that rob me of joy (spiritually). Of course this list could go on… but I’ll leave it at this.
INSPIRATIONS:
Crisp pretty weather days
Green grass
Being barefoot
Feeling clean after a hot shower
Tasting great food [...]

Meiko. That’s her name. She’s a quater Japanese and the Japanese version of her name is pronounced like “Maaco.” But she pronounces her name in English as “Meeko.” She’s oringinally from Georgia, but based in LA currently. Her music could be classified as what plays in the background on an episode of Grey’s Anatomy. Funnily [...]

I’ve been listening to the College Radio Station on iTunes called “Flatfoot Records” and they’ve been playing some great music. I heard the song “It rubs the lotion on its skin” by Greenskeepers for the second time this week and I love it. A few of my friends and I have an ongoing inside joke [...]
