Courage

"Courage has roots. She sleeps on a futon on the floor and lives close to the ground. Courage looks you straight in the eye. She is not impressed with powertrippers and she knows first aid. Courage is not afraid to weep and she is not afraid to pray, even when she is not sure who she is praying to. When Courage walks it is clear that she has made the journey from loneliness to solitude. The people who told me she is stern were not lying they just forgot to mention that she is kind."

Song of the Day: Christmas Edition

I have some of the greatest memories around christmas time with my cousin. We were always running around in our colorful tutus because tutus are way better then fancy dresses and itchy tights. So there we are, dancing around the house and singing our most favorite Whitney Houston songs at the top of our lungs. And this is certainly one of them.

Do You Hear What I Hear by Whitney Houston

Oh that incredible woman and her incredible voice. I absolutely love how she sings this song. I miss her, truly. Her music was amazing and she sang with so much heart and soul.
Fom those first familiar chords to the ending that sends chills up my spine, this is song will always be one of my Christmas favorites. I cherish it and all the wonderful memories it brings with it.

Happy Birthday mommy, how I love you.
