Song of Inspiration: Have a Little Faith by John Hiatt September 29, 2011

You know, I always thought the song was directed at another person.  Thought he was asking, somewhat demanding, the person of reference to have a little faith in him.  But it occurred to me I could be wrong. Gasp!  Yes, sometimes I can be wrong.  Maybe, just maybe, the singer is having a moment with himself.  Maybe, just maybe, he is talking to himself.  I mean, we have all done it.  Standing in front of the mirror, seriously examining ourselves beyond the physical but to the emotional level.  Please tell me I am not the only one!

Sometimes an invisible, inexplicable self-imposed barrier holds us back.  A barrier that prevents us from taking a leap of faith and that causes us to run from our goals instead of toward our goals.  A barrier that for some strange reason causes us to guess and second guess our plans for our future to the point we can’t even remember our plans.  Sigh.  I am experiencing that right now and frankly I couldn’t put my finger on this thing, my kryptonite.  Then I hear the song and it hit me. (SN: Did notice how I am always getting “hit” by songs?)

Song of Inspiration: Did Ya Miss Me? July 13, 2011

Soooo, did ya miss me?  No need to answer, I read the emails and know the answer.  What can I say?  Hmmmmmm…its been a while since I put fingers to keyboard to update my blog.  (I am good at stating the obvious, huh?)  No excuse really, though I have lots of reasons.  All I can say is I am sorry and…I am baaaack!!!!  But not the quick, booty call type of stay.  No, I am back for good with regular updates to the blog.  Any delayed absence, within my control, will be disclosed prior not after the absence.  Its only fair, right?  Besides we have lots to discuss.  The goal is to update the site once a week!  You read correctly.  Once a week.  And hopefully, as I carve out time to put pen to paper or fingers to keyboard, , I hope to update the blog more often.  In the meantime, feel free to email me as you have been doing to ask me questions regarding any and everything.  Song suggestions are also appreciated!

Song of Inspiration: Don’t Trust No Ni&&a by Khia March 13, 2011

So I am sitting in the coffee shop… at the counter….in front of the window….by myself…just looking around.  First, I look around the coffee shop….at no one in particular although a few people stand out.  The elderly couple, in the corner to my left, who are softly talking to each other and sipping their drinks.  Then there is the guy, by the door, on his computer.  He looks like he may be busy typing but his mischievous smile makes me think he is on Facebook.  Then, I look through the window with the mesh drawn shade at the empty covered porch.  I notice a woman sitting at one of the tables, amongst the mini palm trees and plants.  (Do you feel like you’re here?)

To the average customer, I probably look like I am taking in the scenery or even thinking about something of great importance.  Well….the latter is true.   I am trying to figure out which stranger I can trust to watch my precious pink covered MacBook while I run to the bathroom.   Now this may not seem important to you, but it is to me.  Especially considering I am nursing a dangerously full bladder!  Dangerous enough where I am about to ask the elderly couple to watch my computer but…too late.  They get up and start working to the door.  (Sigh!)  Now I have to hope that my boo shows up before…well I am sure you get the point.
