where there is life there is love.

This is a day to celebrate love.  Let's expand our narrow definition of Love and open our hearts to the countless ways we love and are loved in this world.  From the way the cat comes and lays its sleepy head in your hand to the way your father's voice sounds on the telephone when you share good news.

Tonight my husband and I were invited to share some of our music at an incredible restaurant in Ormstown (about an hour drive from Montreal).  We'll be playing for what I can only assume will be people on dates and I am so excited to be a part of this experience.  To witness people connecting, young and old, with hearts soft and open.

and if you are feeling lonely in any way on this day, that's ok too, but know that I love you and that there are a bunch of other people who do too.  Oh, and loneliness can be filled with love as well.  When you start to love yourself you realize it's the best kind of love.

Hello February, worst month to exist ever!

I can't believe I haven't updated in 2 months! Not that anyone reads this, but that's not the point.  I hope to eventually get enough content on this blog to feel comfortable enough to share it with friends and family and one of my goals is to blog everyday, but life just keeps getting in the darn way all the time.

So what have I been up to lately?  Well, to be honest, a lot!, I don't know! This always seems to happen around this time of year in Montreal. It's so icy and below freezing outside that you end up just hibernating in your apartment with chicken strips and episodes of homeland. Or you find yourself under your blanket at 4 in the afternoon just because it's the only warm place that exists at that moment in time.  I work from home too, so it's not very motivating to get up and out there. I spend most of the day in tights and a hoodie and today my two Big goals were get the oil on the car changed and make an organic green juice. (both of which I'm proud to say have been accomplished.)

I have high plans to write more music, practice for an out of town show we are playing for Valentine's day, and decorate our apartment all cozy and modern-like.  I want to make lasagna from scratch and invite friends over to share it with… but maybe I must just accept that February is the official "I only leave the house 6 times in 30 days" month.  And that is ok.  honestly.
