"Wishes upon imperfect moons & fallen stars...
Optimism Loves Surprises
A heart beats more beautifully when it's covered with scars
& Still has the courage to keep dreaming when the sun rises" Birdee Bow

I stopped blowing out candles whenever record execs told me "only youth sells".. I say wisdom writes a more melodic song. I say experience tells a more interesting story.
I say cake & candles can be a girl's best friend. I say the best things in life are not for "sell"
I say
Celebrating birthdays with passion is where it's at...

Butterfly moments are drawn to Beauty Magnets
Beauty radiates from just behind the eyes

Whenever I CRUSH Into September
These are the things I will Remember:

Backstage at Red Rocks
Because Legends Leave Marks

Because True Friends Never Stay Gone For Long
& Always bring the Cheese Puffs...

Because it really is all about love, peace & tenderness.
If we forget to care about one another we will fail.

Because when you find someone to whom you can say this & actually MEAN it??
You're On To Something!

Rita Cherry Designs

Elena CipollonePassion in the Fashion

Princess Caroline
Equestrian Elegance

Why Not??

Kindra Flavin Design STAR

You'll say you read about her here first..

Because I was Country

When Country Wasn't Cool

Because I dream of dancing with Fred Astaire..
A Lot

Because I dream in Parisian..
A Lot

Because Fun Juice Glasses Remind me of Mom.

Who says breakfast is boring?

Paloma Faith & STELLAR back up singers
UK Wonderbar

Because Lady Like Never Leaves The Room without Leaving an Impression

Because Whimsy is all about the details

Because LOVE is alive & well & purchasing colored markers

My D R E A M

Writing Corner

Because Fashion Happens When You Feel It & has nothing to do with age

Synda Rorex Photography

Because EVERY day I decide to start a different novel & ONE of these days I will finish

all of them Infinity

C O L O R A D O

Because Colorful is not just a description it's a way of life

Cary Grant & Dyan Canon

LOVE in the 60's

Because my best friend owned this phone in elementary school & whenever I used it to call home I would pretend I was in a castle:)

Because Practicality is sooooo overrated.

Spontaneity Rule

T R U T H

Because The Big Apple

comes in the Shape of My Heart

Grace Kelly & NYC

Because I'm shopping for new glasses & any spectacles that can also rock a cable knit sweater are a definite front runner

I will never outgrow bed time stories....

"Some people think only intellect counts: knowing how to solve problems, knowing how to get by, knowing how to identify an advantage and seize it. But the functions of intellect are insufficient without courage, love, friendship, compassion, and empathy."

"Look, I don't want to wax philosophic, but I will say that if you're alive you've got to flap your arms and legs, you've got to jump around a lot, for life is the very opposite of death, and therefore you must at the very least think noisy and colorfully, or you're not alive."

Mel Brooks

By definition, Spring is always a CRUSH thing. All things in bloom & the feeling of freedom after a loooong winter.

Grass between my toes & reading outdoors. Long winter = more grateful for the sunshine upon my shoulder

I've decided that from now on whenever I get a chinese cookie fortune that I'm not particularly thrilled over? Ima write my own on the back, because aren't we all creating our own fortune anyway?

Spinning Wheel Seeks Crushes

2011-11-22T07:52:00.000-08:00

“Life moves pretty fast. You don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."
Ferris Bueller

Sometimes I feel like a hamster on a spinning wheel running for dear life and it's not for the exercise. Honestly? If you knew how much I fear rodents you would understand the many levels of distaste I have for that feeling. Ok, so I don't feel like a typical run of the mill hamster (good one no?) but more like a super fly, 70's sequined Halston and platform shoe wearin' kinda hamster with an attitude. I assume it's a feeling we all fall prey to occasionally. It's tough to find our place in this world.

As my mom always says,
"dreams change honey, they move in different directions all throughout our lives it's up to us to keep navigating toward them."

I used to think of that statement as a bit of a cop out, holding fast to the belief that one dream was really enough. To ask for anything more would just be greedy wouldn't it? Yeh, No.
Turns out Mom is always right.

So, here's to crushin' on everything you want in life.
A L L the dreams you hold deep inside.
A L L the dreams you never even dreamt you would dream.
A L L the dreams life keeps gently swaying you toward until it's an all out sharp turn to the right.

Say'em out loud.
Crush'em.
Love'em.
Nurture'em
Own 'em
They're YOURS.

The spinning wheel?

Well hamsters need jobs too..

Crush & The Better To See You With

2011-10-16T08:53:00.000-07:00

"As I get older, I get smaller. I see other parts of the world I didn't see before. Other points of view. I see outside myself more."

Neil Young

I'm a girl with broken glasses. No, I didn't just break them. They've been broken for about a year & a half. I don't mean just a little broken.. I mean full on broken as in one side is taped together with masking tape & most times the entire right ear piece is just missing, somewhere lost in the bottom of my purse. I only use them when I'm at the movie theatre & then it's only when it's a really fabulous, "I've been dying to see this!" kinda movie. Seriously, if it's just a maybe I'll dig it kinda movie? I don't even bother. Lucky for the rest of the world I don't drive a car & I must admit I've grown accustomed to the view. A little blurry around the edges, none too clear. Things in the distance seem even further away & maybe life seems less daunting & more exciting when the view is not so crystal.
I'm not sure what it is,but I like it.
Maybe one day I'll want that to change
Maybe one day I'll buy my new fancy shmancy designer glasses & see what I've been missing
But for now?

CRUSH & The Water Project

It's hard to imagine but:

More than 1 in 6 people in the world don't have access to safe drinking water.

1 out of every 4 deaths under the age of 5 worldwide is due to a water-related disease.

Nearly 80% of illnesses in developing countries are linked to poor water and sanitation
conditions.

2gether we can make a Change that could Change a life Forever.

My Latest Blog Love

"People are going to tell you things all the time that you can't do something or that you are not right for something or you can't. I hear can't a lot. And I think that you can't listen to that. I think that if you know what you want to do and you know that you can do it, you need to. Gone are the days of sitting back and waiting for things to happen to you. I think that if you want something, you need to go out and get it." - Sara Paxton

Crush Around The World

2011-03-15T18:16:00.000-07:00

It's times like these when we remember our good fortune & the most important things in life. Family, friends, loved ones & the priceless times we share along the way. My heart & prayers go out to the people of Japan & all those around the world who have been personally affected by the recent tragic events.

Please give to the Red Cross Japan Earthquake & Pacific Tsunami Relief Effort

March marching on into April & it's the legendary time to crush & to be crushed!

These daylight saving hours become a songwriter's muse. I am suddenly overwhelmed with colorful words. Like so many paper shreds from booming confetti canons. Catching them all may prove to be impossible but I'm happy to keep dancing in the downpour. Arms wide open.

St Patricks Day Parades, vintage shoppe finds &
"breaths of fresh air"

It's a good time to be here.

One of my favorite things to do when visiting home is to pull out photos of mom & dad from their early newlywed days in Europe. The very energy of the photos invoke bright hopes for the future & smiles with promise of beautiful days ahead. My mom in soft pink accessories & her perfectly coiffed dark hair & huge sunglasses. This past weekend, I was beyond excited to find a gorgeous white cable knit sweater at a vintage shop which looked identical to one I had seen in one of her photos. When I called to tell her, my dad answered. Telling him about my find I thought he would be clueless

To my surprise??

He remembered the exact sweater

Crushable Moment:)

Make A Wish & A Crush

2011-01-01T03:15:00.000-08:00

WISH: Defined as A desire, longing, or
strong inclination for a specific thing.

Count me in on the beautiful believers of the Wish. We must, after all, voice our desires & longings into the universe if we are to ever actually make them into reality.

As I ponder the possibilities of a New Year & all the excitement that comes along with it, I am also reminded of how very lucky I am . How very fortunate to make wishes which are luxurious in nature, career driven & passion infused. I am also reminded that it is quite a different thing to wish for the very basics of life. Many of you have seen my posts, tweets & news postings about The Water Project, but I ask you to pause for a moment today, on this first day of the year if you will, & consider the very simple wish of WATER.

Water for bathing, drinking, cooking & for sustenance of LIFE. Together we can make wishes come true Great & Small

Visit The Water Project to learn more about bringing clean water to places like Sierra Leone &

Pass It On!

Happy New Year &

Let the
CRUSH begin....

H2O = LIFE

Embarking on long road trips & fabulous studio time with masters of the craft.

It's gonna be an amazing year filled with music, laughter & creativity.

That's a Crush you can Count On.
