“When you enter into this page, you tour the flickering, grainy slide show of a girl who has spent her whole existence stapling the hearts of others to her sleeves. You are touching your fingertips against her creativity, her musings, her pent-up desperation for a world in which we loved one another harder today than yesterday. You are standing in the middle of her muddy grounds and not every published thing you see here is a “blog post” so much as it is this: words strung together to try to get you closer to your own humanity.”

From 12484 km away I can feel the hope. The way it radiates out between the pixels and the filters chosen to frame it. It takes courage to go against the grain. To go against what you have been taught. What you have been forced to think, do, and behave. I can see the happiness in both sets of eyes. The relief of being reunited that reinforces that the decision made was a good one. How do you stay connected when you are separated by oceans. What fuels the choice to abandon everything you know and leave your continent for his. I suppose it’s the hope that I can see and feel even though I am 12484 km away.

Elsa Bailey celebrated her 100th birthday skiing at Arapahoe Basin

After celebrating her 100th birthday dining and dancing with friends, Elsa Bailey celebrated the first day of her 101st year on Saturday by fulfilling a promise she made a decade ago. She went skiing at Arapahoe Basin, just as she did when she turned 90.

Bailey has been skiing for 75 years. She started on a pair of $7 ash skis, when tickets for the rope tow in Vermont cost a dollar.

Read more about Bailey’s physical feat and her birthday on the slopes.

“I love you’ means that I accept you for the person that you are, and that I do not wish to change you into someone else. It means that I will love you and stand by you even through the worst of times. It means loving you even when you’re in a bad mood, or too tired to do the things I want to do. It means loving you when you’re down, not just when you’re fun to be with. ‘I love you’ means that I know your deepest secrets and do not judge you for them, asking in return that you do not judge me for mine. It means that I care enough to fight for what we have and that I love you enough not to let go. It means thinking of you, dreaming of you, wanting and needing you constantly, and hoping you feel the same about me.”

Prolific Rock Star Advice

Sat, 04 May 2013 10:14:08 -0700

There’s something about a rock show that gets me. It’s hits me hard in my black heart. It relaxes my mind and brings a smile to my face. The way the vibrations move from the stage to me, connecting me with a couple hundred other random strangers. My mind as been consumed lately of prolific rock star advice from the last dudes show I was at. Danny V proclaiming, One of the hardest lessons I have learned is to forgive myself. We all do things we regret but that’s actually how we evolve. Mistakes build substance. Forgiveness breeds tenancity. When you have been hurt by others and yourself it’s easier not to forgive.

It takes a exceptional strength to weave forgiveness to repair the damage. In relationships my friends and I sit divided. Some believe that you should actively nurture revenge. Get back at that person who left you battered and bruised. Yet somehow I think all that does is cultivate the dark. That person will evolve only to hurt you more. It does not elevate the pain but rather feeds it! Leaving it smoldering and constant. Instead sow the light. Send a little love and sunshine their way and forgive them. Do the same for your self. Learn to forgive yourself. And as Danny V says between hard rock beats and swigs of beer, go call your Grandma, that’s important to.
