"Lipstick Warrior".... ©2010 All Rights Reserved

What makes someone hide behind an illusion created by lines, smudges and brush strokes.... Maybe it's Maybeline?
I love make-up just like the next person... But I will never hide behind it!
People say I'm expressive, passionate; they say "she tells it like it is".
I say, "God gave us free will". The way I see it, I'm just doing what he intended.
I'm not saying to be mean or hurtful, I'm just saying to be honest about your feelings.
So go ahead, smear on a little red lipstick and add some gloss too, and when the time comes to open your mouth... speak eloquently, say what you mean... and mean what you say!!!

I've just written a song pertaining to this very thought... It's called "Lipstick Warrior".
Please stay in touch to the blog and my music website, as it will soon be released for purchase.

By Winter's End

Shan and I were at the Hanger Hotel in Fredericksburg a couple of weeks ago. We like to visit the Hanger, not only for the company and the martinis of the bartender, Mary; but also for the beautiful sounds of the baby grand piano. Shan used to play the piano there regularly. That is until I came along and started writing songs with him. I regret nothing, but I sure do miss his piano playing. I filmed while he played a new song he had just composed on the fly... he even let me name it.
I'm calling it "By Winter's End"...
Though the winters may be cold, every moment spent with Shan is warm.
