Rod ... Rod Stewart

It is Music Monday here at my blog (Once Again!) ... I wanted to mention Rod Stewart today because I heard a few of his older songs on the radio this past weekend. I am sure many of you will have comments about this post - good, bad or indifferent. Rod has always been a favorite of mine. I have attended many of his concerts over the years, knowing all the songs, and dancing in the aisles. I have fond memories of listening to his music while growing up. I still enjoy his music today. I love the avenue he has gone down with his GREAT AMERICAN SONGBOOK Collection ... Including all the old songs my heart sings to ... Who's music makes your heart sing? Or do you have a favorite singer from growing up that brings back good memories for you?

    Prudence - So happy to know, you are also a Rod Fan ... I was thinking of having Cher as a Music Monday - So stay tuned ... She is also a favorite of mine. I love how these artists continue to reinvent themselves ...

    Love how you have kept the vinyl tradition going ... I am slowly adding new CDs to replace music from the past on the vinyl & cassette :)

    So glad we connected!

    There are many, but the one that always brings back the memories is Eddie Grant. My brother liked him a lot and I also became fond of his music. So every time I hear one of his songs I'm always brought back to my childhood. ;)

All about Hope ...

I thought this image was appropriate for how I am feeling today. I seemed to have gotten a second wind with being creative this year. I am excited to tell you about my new treasure in writing. It is a newfound website (that I found in a column in Oprah's Nov 2011 magazine) called 750Words.com. This site follows the steps of Julia Cameron's The Artists Way. It helps you work towards a better writing style. It encourages you to write 750 words a day. This is approximately 3 typewritten pages of words. I am finding it easier to pick a theme (from Patti Digh's LIFE IS A VERB book - Thanks, Patti!) to help create daily themes. Please cheer me on to continue this daily ritual.  Have you started a new routine that you would like to share?

Love Story in Burlington, VT ...

It started the morning I decided to visit Muddy Waters (Coffee House) in Burlington, Vermont. I was told by the locals that if I was looking for a quiet place to write and enjoy a good cup of java, this was the place. I entered into a few different level rooms containing booths, cozy benches and chairs. After ordering an Iced Machiatto, I settled into a nice corner bench adjacent to a bookshelf. It was quiet, the perfect seat to get some reading done. My reason for spending a quiet morning here was to work through a few more chapters in The Artist's Way. (Julia Cameron's ~ Guide to Inspire Artists). Upon looking around, I noticed that there was a small, rolled up piece of paper tucked away in the brick wall behind me. At first, I was not sure whether to take it out and read it, or not. Perhaps I have seen too many "Candid - Punked" like shows, and someone was watching my every move. Pushing these paranoid thoughts aside, I reached over, read it and I was elated...
