Happy Halloween

Friday night went to a med school-sponsored party at Reading Terminal in center city Philly. It was fun to see lots of creative costumes but other than that it was eh. Definitely over that whole scene. Saturday night an old friend came in from out of town so we had a fun time playing host and taking the group to Bob & Barbara's then to the Pearl Jam concert. It was the last show ever at the Wachovia Spectrum. I'm not a Philly native but it was definitely an emotional thing going on for a lot of people at the show - lots of memories in that building for most of them I think. It was pretty cool to see, and the show went on for over 40 songs. Yeah crazy!

God only knows what I'd be without you

Crazy month

...fear, heartbreak, anguish, innocence, affection, sparkling, laugh, ecstatic

all rooted in my deepest love.

labor day weekend: mom, home, childhood friends, green grass, love story

september 6th, 2009

round hill park s and j engaged to be married for real. seems like we always were since our first hug/kiss/smile.

somehow this happy with him on any given day

this ring is full of sunshine to carry with me always

this man is

"a treehouse in the summer

a secret fortress at night

a swim in warm water as the sun goes down

the warmth of my lips

the smell of cinnamon the hot sun on my arms

my fairytale prince

the piano song that gives me chills

the breeze whipping the back of my neck on a twilight drive

my favorite blanket"

The most beautiful woman I know

I love you crazy Lynne. This postsecret of course made me think of you when I saw it.





I can say the same thing as whoever sent that one in. I'm proud to look like you, proud to be the same as you in so many ways: two big hearts, two women who love animals, two women who are kind and generous and love to laugh. I'm so glad I'm your daughter.

electric eyes are everywhere

• AC Expressway
• "Human Nature" in my ears
  
• Top down
• Shoulders hot to the touch
• Pink and purple flowers as far as the eye can see
• Heart beating strong with every breath

Loved being alive in this moment

it's time for our next adventure

Tomorrow, Tomorrow, I LOVE YOU Tomorrow

Star Light Star bright,

The first star I see tonight,

I wish I may, I wish I might,

Have the wish I wish tonight.




(you're always letting me be me, every day you're the only thing i see)


I will never lose the ability to stand on my own.
But when you become one with a beautiful soul it feels like a sin to be separated.
Tomorrow the world will be right again.

Life's Little Instruction Book by H. Jackson Brown Jr.

Life will sometimes hand you a magical moment. Savor it.

Think big thoughts but relish small pleasures.

Get organized. Know where you are headed. But if something wonderful and unexpected comes along, be flexible enough to follow it.

Every once in a while ask yourself the question, If money weren't a consideration, what would I like to be doing?

Let some things remain mysterious.

Remember that nothing important ever happens until someone takes a chance.

Lie on your back and look at the stars.

The Way You Make Me Feel

you were a whirling dervish

a superstar



the wind blowing across a stage

the beat in my tapping feet




you had the moves

your melodies were my childhood




you were my favorite sticker

hours spent in front of the tv




watching you dance and hooting along

snapping my fingers wooo!




trying to imitate your sass and style

you were the king




you were kind

you were still a kid



when you sang the air around you stopped to listen

the earth danced with you

"And I remember going to the record studio and there was a park across the street and I'd see all the children playing and I would cry because it would make me sad that I would have to work instead."


“And my goal in life is to give to the world what I was lucky to receive: the ecstasy of divine union through my music and my dance.”


"Yeah, Wacko Jacko, where did that come from? Some English tabloid. I have a heart and I have feelings. I feel that when you do that to me. It's not nice."


“Let us dream of tomorrow where we can truly love from the soul, and know love as the ultimate truth at the heart of all creation.”


"I'm just like anyone. I cut and I bleed. And I embarrass easily. "


"They did it to try and belittle me, to try and to take away my pride. But I went through the whole system with them. And at the end, I - I wanted the public to know that I was okay, even though I was hurting."


“Children show me in their playful smiles the divine in everyone. This simple goodness shines straight from their hearts and only asks to be lived.”


“In a world filled with hate, we must still dare to hope. In a world filled with anger, we must still dare to comfort. In a world filled with despair, we must still dare to dream. And in a world filled with distrust, we must still dare to believe.”


“If you enter this world knowing you are loved and you leave this world knowing the same, then everything that happens in between can be dealt with.”

-Michael Jackson

you were still loved worldwide to the day you died.

Lust by Susan Minot

"Certain nights you’d feel a certain surrender, maybe if you’d had wine. The surrender would be forgetting yourself and you’d put your nose to his neck and feel like a squirrel, safe, at rest, in a restful dream. But then you’d start to slip from that and the dark would come in and there’d be a cave. You make out the dim shape of the windows and feel yourself become a cave, filled absolutely with air, or with a sadness that wouldn’t stop."






"There’d be times when you overdid it. You’d get carried away. All the next day, you’d be in a total fog, delirious, absent-minded, crossing the street and nearly getting run over."








"You wonder how long you can keep it up. You begin to feel as if you’re showing through, like a bathroom window that only lets in grey light, the kind you can’t see out of."
