Color your Life.........

The world is full of color

Lose sight, you'll see in black and white.

.... Its up to you to see the beauty in life. 

"I would like to turn the whole world orange for a moment, just for a moment" - Edie Sedgwick

Listen.

The bittersweet between my teeth 

Trying to find the in-between 

Fall back in love eventually 

Yeah yeah yeah yeah 

The Mix Tapes

I know I've blogged about this before, but I truly believe in the power and magic of music. 


I am creating two mix tapes one friend punch drunk in love and another for someone who lost the love of their life. 


Selecting the songs I wanted each to be perfect, to inspire them and make them happy. The selections I found had to be so particular, I wanted to make my one friend so happy and feel good about being in love and young and filled with life. The other mix tape, I wanted each song to be happy and full of life and not a reminder of pain or sadness.


All of these songs are very special to me in different ways. I decided to share my Mix Tapes so maybe if your reading this, you too can enjoy some of the music that colors my life.
