dear God – be ART

Getting to know you,
Getting to know all about you.
Getting to like you,
Getting to hope you like me.

YAH, THAT SONG…YOU KNOW IT! SING IT WITH ME….

Getting to know you,
Putting it my way,
But nicely,
You are precisely,

My cup of tea.

Getting to know you,
Getting to feel free and easy
When I am with you,
Getting to know what to say

Haven’t you noticed
Suddenly I’m bright and breezy?
Because of all the beautiful and new
Things I’m learning about you
Day by day.

Okay enough of that. So I love getting comments and emails when people say just by reading my blog that they feel we are friends. They feel like they know me. I love that. I love that because I feel that way about a lot of the people who write the blogs I know and love. Pioneer Woman, Sheye Rosemeyer, NieNie, ya you know them.

Sooooo, I thought it might be fun to every now and then to do a post where you truly get to know me. You get to know not only the mother, the wife, the photographer, but me. Get to know the things I love. The things that drive me BONKERS. The other things I am kinda good at and even things that I have no business doing but I have fun trying. Places I love and foods that put me in eternal bliss.

Sound fun? A little? Well, I am scerrrrd folks! But, it will be good. Yes, it will be good. Repeating to myself over and over….

I decided to get the biggest most embarrassing done and over with. sooooo….

I sing. Not tons anymore, but it is a love of mine. Music has always filled my soul in ways that no other thing in this world can. I am inspired by it. Uplifted and motivated by it.

When I was younger I wanted to be Eponine in the Broadway play Les Miserable. I was obsessed to say the least.

Then when Britney Spears got big, I wanted to be her. Okay well pre her wildly inappropriate hussy days. hehehe

Neither happened. Obviously. But my love for singing has never dwindled…in the least.

When I was a teenager I wrote some words down on a sheet of paper. The most real and honest words in my heart. It was a plea. A plea to God to help me. To comfort me.

It was a hard time in my life. I felt alone. I felt lost. I felt broken and confused. I wrote the prayer in my heart onto paper and from there came the first song I ever wrote.

*Remember I was a teenager when I wrote and recorded this song, so don’t judge me to harshly. There are imperfections, in both the song writing and recording. But, it is something that I am proud of and something that is very special to me.

**okay, running under a rock and hiding shamelessly. :)

Listen to it here —-> Dear God
Dear God
Dear God, why must I cry to you
Don’t you know I’m in pain
Searching for answers, how do I ask
How do I come home to stay?

Help me to find a way
Help me have peace today
Help me to carry on
Show me I’m not alone
Show me I’m not alone

Confused, all these thoughts running through my mind
How do I know where to go
My heart tells me to do what’s right
But my head, says who knows.

Help me to find a way
Help me have peace today
Help me to carry on
Show me I’m not alone
Show me I’m not alone
Show me I’m not alone

Searching for the answers only I can find
Reaching for what is right
Searching for the answers only I can find
Reaching for what is right

Help me to find a way
Oh Lord please help me find a way
Help me have peace today
Oh Lord please give me peace today
Help me to carry on

Show me I’m not alone
Show me I’m not alone

Well, I did find my way and am so blessed and happy in my life right now. Which is why I love to share my art with you. My family and my life.

Him. He is why I am so happy. So fulfilled and so in love with life.

Thanks for looking! Chisses!

we are the world -be ART

Music is very special to me. It moves me in ways that inspire, motivate and uplift. So glad these amazingly talented people put their busy lives aside to come together and try to inspire the world to help those in need.

I thought this was too beautiful not to share. Most of you might have seen it, but for those who haven’t….

Thanks for looking!
