#flashbackfriday to a year ago, trying to make sense of what was happening. #flashbackfriday Thinking about this time last year in the early stages of the pandemic when it felt like we were all in this together. This week's post is brought to you by a dose of nostalgia, as a house that has been in my husband's family for more than 40 years was sold this week. I have been trying to project more positivity into interactions with my kids. Yes, I want them to clean up after themselves and have good hygiene habits, but ultimately I want them to know I love them and support them and want them to live happy, meaningful, productive lives. This is a new day. This week's song is for anyone who is missing someone. ❤️ #dreams #followyourdreams #musicmonday #songwriting #52weeks Link to this week's song in bio. A New Year with new possibilities. Although technically not much has changed from last week, the start of a New Year feels like a new opportunity, which is the subject of the song "365 Days," a song I wrote in 2019 about that year's New Year's Day (with a twist at the end). One message made abundantly clear during 2020 was the blaring reminder that we can’t take anything for granted.
