“I was a shiny, glittery-type person.
Now I’m a jeans and t-shirt girl,
or I’ll wear sun dresses and cowboy boots
in the summer. But at first I had to
have stylists tell me, ‘That’s ugly.’”
~ Miranda Lambert

The Shadow of Light
“Hope is like the sun, which,
as we journey toward it, casts
the shadow of our burden
behind us.”
~ Samuel Smiles
Apples or Oranges
“One mustn’t ask apple trees
for oranges, France for sun,
women for love, life
for happiness.”
~ Gustave Flaubert
Historic Jam Session Puts Recording Studio on the Charts
Anyone who visits Memphis, Tennessee makes an extra effort to visit Sun Studios, the most famous recording studio in the world. And it’s not just Baby Boomers who relate to this iconic landmark. After all, the birthplace of Rock ‘n Roll was home to the ‘Million Dollar Quartet’, a group of guys known as Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Carl Perkins. This is where it all began. Dreams come true, even now, when the tour buses have left for the day and the doors close so dedicated musicians can book the studio for private sessions. Yes, the same setup, even the same vintage microphone and an “x” on the floor where Elvis stood, becomes the inspiration. Go ahead, stand in awe. Close your eyes and imagine the best music you ever heard.
The Human Soul on Fire
“Doubt thou the stars are fire,
Doubt that the sun doth move.
Doubt truth to be a liar,
But never doubt I love.”
~ William Shakespeare
Some Like it Hot
Some Like It Hot! The Hotel del Coronado, a famous resort on the island of Coronado, greets visitors with its iconic red turrets sitting high above the sea. Whether you stroll along the winding boardwalk where sand meets wave or pause in the shade of the expansive veranda for a sip of lemonade, time seems to stand still. And then it begins; that feeling of nostalgia when legendary film stars like Marilyn Monroe created waves of excitement. As though hypnotic, the air fills with wonderment and awe.
