Saturday’s Song: Here I Go Again

Posted on July 7, 2012July 7, 2012

Twice over the past week, Whitesnake’s Here I Go Again has come on the radio in my car. Hearing it while driving reminds me of the days when I used to listen to the song on cassette while cruising in my Camaro. Now that I’ve said that, I feel the need to disclose that I’m not quite as old as that statement might lead one to believe 😉

Anyway… the fact that I heard the twenty-five-year-old (whoa, really??) song twice in the past seven days made me think it would be a good one to share here today…

Saturday’s Song: Who I Am

Posted on June 16, 2012June 16, 2012

Today’s song has been repeating in my head for the past few days. I recalled it when I received an assignment from Life And Love Strategist, Laura Campbell (founder of The D-Spot) to write “my story”. It’s also an appropriate follow-up to my last post.

When I finally left my home to start over, I wasn’t carrying suitcases, I was holding the leashes of two dogs. Such circumstances precluded me from immitating Ann’s moment of freedom.

Saturday’s Song: Already Gone

Posted on May 26, 2012May 26, 2012

May 24 was the anniversary of the night my husband said we should separate. Six years ago this weekend, I walked through a street fair with an old friend and told him, “I’m still sleeping and eating, so I know I’m ok.”

All of this reminds me of the song that was my personal anthem (well, one of them) during that period of my life and I thought it would be fitting to share it here today. I love this song because it represents the power that we have to take control of a situation instead of simply letting things happen to us.
