soundrack

I must confess I enjoy a good soundtrack The original scores that set the tone and feel for a movie. Songs written by musician's, chosen by the story teller who is listening to the lyrics that they hope will help place emphasis on a moment in the story they are trying to tell. Telling a story to you in pictures, words and music. For those of you who know me well, you have come to realize I have a thing for Period Drama's. Specifically Jane Austen, but not limited to... =) ( Only a few that I have in my collection) When I was a young girl my aunt introduced me to the world of movies that took place in a slower and simplified time. And since then, my heart has held a love for not only the stories of Jane Austen, Lucy M Montgomery, Charles Dickens, Louisa May Alcott etc, but also the music that was composed to complete the telling of their stories. (Now the goal is to read the books!) Owning soundtracks happens to be a weakness. I love listening to them while I read, sl

Chucking things in a bin

In an attempt to be productive tonight, I found myself rummaging through boxes filled with collections from my teenage years I found it very interesting to look back and discover things kept that were once important to me. Items that held sentiment, dreams,goals and hope for the future, or memories of moments I never wanted to forget Tonight I found myself looking at these items through different lenses Chucking things in the bin became a overwhelming source of freedom Not everything, by any means, but certain things that no longer held value or use, found their way into the bin. Now if only I could be as decisive on my future... Where the road leads, I have no idea, but I am excited for what adventure is around the corner

Autumn nostalgia

I love autumn  I love the way the sky is golden and casts a glow on everything it touches.  It causes me to feel nostalgic  Reminiscing= looking at photos and feeling such overwhelming gratitude for the opportunities that have come my way and the people who helped me to see that life is to short to not take hold of the, once and a life time gifts, God gives us. A year ago I made a huge decision to step out into an adventure that has forever changed me for the better. I can't begin to describe how thankful I am for everyone who made it possible for me to travel to England and take in the beauty of the country I have dreamed of seeing since I was a child.  Thank you!  And to the people of England who opened their homes and hearts to me, who befriended me and showed me around their lovely country, thank you doesn't seem enough to reveal the depth of my gratitude, but Thank you just the same. What a gift to know you all, to be able to call you friend, and to have you as sisters
