Music, Life, Self-Care.


I am so in love with Juliet Simm's version of Roxanne. I wasn't sure how I felt about her auditioning for the Voice, since I've been a fan of hers for the last five or so years, and couldn't quite understand why she'd do it when she's had a lot of success on her own terms.
But after seeing her perform this song, I'm really glad she is on the show.
With that being said, I felt the same way when Charlotte Sometimes auditioned (for the same reasons) and am super sad she didn't make it through the last round.

My mom said she was sad that I had given up on singing professionally, before I even got started, but it's competition like this that sort of makes me shake in my boots. Maybe someday I'll pursue something musically, but right now I'm really content to appreciate the other voices the industry has to offer.

I just had to share this.

The other day I did write a blog detailing the last few months, but after thinking on it, I realized that to sort of get past the ridiculous things that have happened, I didn't need to rehash it for the entire world to see-- if they so decided to.

All that really matters is that things are better now and they're going to continue to get better.

I've had a great two days full of (sorely needed) self care.
Had a nice lunch with mom Friday.
Bought Anna Karenina.
Explored some shops.
And then Saturday, went to lunch with Leelee.
We went into town.
And stopped by a la minute for ice cream,
Which is anyone has been there before, knows the wait,
But also knows it is so worth it.

Today, I'm excited for Game of Thrones, taking Elfie for a walk, and getting some reading in.
