Thriving Ivory.


Looking back through some old posts, I am shocked to see I have yet to blog about music. It plays such a vital part of my day. I love wrapping my thoughts around great lyrics and powerful voices. Maybe it's because I can't sing. Music stirs my soul. Here's one of my latest favorites...

Do you dream, that the world will know your name

So tell me your name

Do you care, about all the little things or anything at all?

I wanna feel, all the chemicals inside
I wanna feel
I wanna sunburn, just to know that I'm alive
To know I'm alive


Don't tell me if I'm dying, cause I don't wanna know
If I can't see the sun, maybe I should go
Don't wake me cause I'm dreaming, of angels on the moon
Where everyone you know, never leaves too soon


Do you believe, in the day that you were born

Tell me do you believe?

Do you know, that everyday's the first of the rest of your life


Don't tell me if I'm dying, cause I don't wanna know

If I can't see the sun, maybe I should go

Don't wake me cause I'm dreaming, of angels on the moon

Where everyone you know, never leaves too soon


This is to one last day in the shadows

And to know a brother's love

This is to New York City angels

And the rivers of our blood
This is to all of us, to all of us

Don't tell me if I'm dying, cause I don't wanna know
If I can't see the sun, maybe I should go
Don't wake me cause I'm dreaming, of angels on the moon

Where everyone you know, never leaves too soon


You can tell me all your thoughts, about the stars that fill polluted skies

And show me where you run to, when no one's left to take your side
But don't tell me where the road ends,
cause I just don't wanna know,
No I don't wanna know


Don't tell me if I'm dying

Don't tell me if I'm dying

Don't tell me if I'm dying

Give it a listen for yourself.

Three-year birthday parties.


Tay is three. Tay is three. Tay is three.


The past three years (let alone three seconds) have been a whirlwind. As you can see from the date of my last post, life has been a bit crazy the past 6 months. In honor of this three year milestone in my daughter's life, I'm attempting to get back into the blog-o-sphere and share a zillion more things that make me zing. Still at the top of my list is little Tay—whom is not little anymore—according to her. She is a big girl now and I am so, so lucky to have her in my life. She reminds me to take in every moment. She opens my eyes and ears to the little things in life that make it special. Thank you my little, but very big hearted girl. I love your zing.
