My poor friend, Duchess, has to listen to me sing this all the time. And when I say all the time, I mean all.the.time. (She sits 2 feet away from me at work.) Nearly everyone in my office has caught me with headphones in on my lunch break dancing to this song. And let’s not forget my Rock Star Crush on Mr. Levine. (heyyyy boy!) Over all this song is a Five Star kind of song – pun intended. Enjoy!
Florence + The Machine have done it again. One of my favorite musical performing groups has not only produced another amazing song, but the perfect video to go along with it. Thank you, Florence. Thank you. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do. You can sneak a look at the lyrics here.
Phenomenal. (ps – I really want the dress in the video to be in my closet.)
And I’m damned if I do and I’m damned if I don’t, So here’s to drinks in the dark at the end of my road, And I’m ready to suffer and I’m ready to hope [.....] Well what the hell I’m gonna let it happen to me.
- Shake It Out
It’s hard to dance with a devil on your back, so shake him off.
Oh woah.

One of the best songs EVER when you’re running. Ever. *Not to mention one of the best depictions of how our thoughts can be overcome with that endangering word which turns saints into the sea and twists any situation into a mind-numbing scenario.
This song is saying everything I need to hear right at this moment. It’s been over 3 years since He died. It’s not a big anniversary, birthday, or anything like that. I don’t know why – out of no where – I catch myself drifting back into the feelings of loss and confusion. Frustration and anger. Sadness and fear. This isn’t supposed to be happening even though I’ve come to accept the fact that sometimes – for no real reason at all – it just does. It’s one of those added “bonuses” they don’t tell you about until after all is said and done. The fine print on the certificate, I suppose. The warning signs you eventually come to recognize, and there’s nothing you can do but ride it out with Faith it will soon pass.
Sometimes it lasts a few hours, sometimes a few days. Just as it has before, this time will soon run it’s course and I will emerge stronger than the time before. It is in these moments I am reminded I’m only human. You have to cry to clear your eyes. And there’s no shame or embarrassment to be had in that.

I’m working on a guest post at the moment. Of all songs that come to mind for a soundtrack to writing my guest post, it had to be this one. It somewhat ties in to what I’m writing for the post …. in a round about sort of way I suppose. But I guess that would be the ironic part, huh?
You’ll have to wait and see what I’m talking about when my guest post comes out. (of course I’ll let you know when!) Until then, it’s back to the writing desk for this girl. Hope you’re having a great one, kids!

"I adore, however others may not, being confusing and crazy, shy and loud, strong and weak, a bundle of emotions and a back-bone of society. The complexities of being a woman are nothing to be ashamed of and should be celebrated in great splendor!"

Lots of things might happen. That’s the thing about writers. They’re unpredictable. They might bring you eggs in bed for breakfast, or they might all but ignore you for days. They might bring you eggs in bed at three in the morning. Or they might wake you up for sex at three in the morning. Or…
