A witty little love letter to an old lyric, a good mama, and the kind of morning that needs a soundtrack… Some songs do not simply get stuck in your head. They move in, hang curtains, put a kettle on, and start rearranging the furniture in your heart. For me, that song is “Oh, What…

Rambling on about moving forward, even when forward looks suspiciously like a three-ring circus and everyone and everything needs you at once… At some point, usually when we are feeling brave, well-rested, or standing in front of a mirror with dramatic lighting, we make promises to ourselves.

Rambling on about confidence, the God factor, and overcoming weakness… Many see a confident person as someone who stands tall, speaks with assurance, and meets challenges with unwavering resolve.
