Anything about Everything

I have a hard time choosing ONE of anything. Ask anyone in my life and they will tell you - I can't for the life of me pick a restaurant, a radio station, or a pair of shoes when I have so many options to choose from.  So this post gets 3 songs. I make the rules!  First up, we have O Holy Night.  Growing up in the church, I am very well versed in traditional Christmas hymns. I was always moved by this song, and the acapella versions I have heard on my favorite albums are just gorgeous. I am a sucker for acapella. The joy it brings, when you truly listen to the words, literally ignite the holiday season. The entire reason we celebrate Christmas. The story it tells, depicting how the night Jesus came into the world in beautiful detail.  The thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices, for yonder breaks, a new and glorious morn'  Take a second and think about that line. A miracle came down to earth to refresh the world, give it a new life. He came so we might liv...

Before I get into this post - I am so excited to share this is the 100th published post for Anything About Everything!!! Thank you so much for reading any post, and hopefully it speaks to you somehow. Thank you for giving me this platform to share life experiences - know that you are not alone! This has been such an incredible outlet for me - as I have always wanted to be a writer, and the love this blog has received over the last 3 years has been incredible! Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!! I cannot tell you the last time I sat down to read. I love to read - but with a busy busy schedule, a brain that does NOT shut off, and a guilt of just sitting around, I can't get into a good book right now.  I was reading "How To Do The Work" by Dr. Nicole LaPera before my brain started running 24/7. It was a great look at why we do what we do, and how to actually do the work to make changes in your life. If you've been following this blog for a while, you know how much I valu...

Day 11 of 30 A lot of these posts on the 30 day challenge are meant to be lists. Today's topic: 3 favorite bands.  Which is SO hard, considering I love music and have so many favorites.  I will do my best to keep it to 3 - but make no promises. Band #1:   The Script I have been a fan of these guys since they first came on the scene in 2007. I've seen them a few times in concert, and can honestly say they do NOT disappoint. I love their ever evolving sound, and the fact that they're from Ireland! Their music is so amazing, and the three of them are so talented. When I first saw them in concert, they were on the road with OneRepublic (one of my top 5 favorites!!!!) and can honestly say that concert is one of my all time favorites. You know how they say music can bring back memories? The Script does that for me on so many levels.  Band #2:    Boyce Avenue My college roommate Andrea and I came across these guys on YouTube when we were f...
