Defying Gravity

Good morning! It's Women's History Month and I'm here to celebrate being a girl loudly AND proudly!  My girl Elphaba said it best:  "So if you care to find me Look to the western sky As someone told me lately, "Everyone deserves the chance to fly" And if I'm flying solo At least I'm flying free To those who ground me, take a message back from me Tell them how I am defying gravity I'm flying high, defying gravity..." If you know then you know how I gets down with books and theater, but to see some come to film means that I get to enjoy them as many times as I want at home- from the comfort of my couch!!! Much like, "The Color Purple," "Wicked" is a moment... no, it's a MOVEMENT for me! "... and if I'm flying solo/ At least I'm flying FREE" I felt those lyrics!! I'd rather be alone and free then tethered and miserable!  I believe that I saw this movie three times in the theaters! And every time, I f...

Mercy Me

Good morning! I really hope that you are enjoying these posts as much as I am!  I had plans of putting out a different post this month, but this one ATE and left no crumbs (as the young people say) when I went back and read it!

Good morning! Happy New Year! I am thrilled and grateful to be here! If you know then you know about me and odd-numbered years- I don't have a very good track record, but this one FEELS different. This one FEELS like joy!  This one FEELS like peace! This actually FEELS like FREEDOM! And this feels like one of my longest posts EVER! Whew! Please bear with me!  I have some things that I want to say that'll hopefully inspire us all to move a little bit differently this year because i t's time for me to be soft, to be feminine, and to be still so that I listen to my body and hear God's whispers. I really just want some much needed rest; I feel like I've been going nonstop for years and 2025 is finally giving me a break- a chance to catch my breath and to smell my roses.  2024, I owe my gratitude and my respect. One thing that I know for sure: I CAN do "hard" things! I've endure a lot. I've conquered a lot.  But more importantly,  I stopped measuring my...
