something (missing) in the water

I really should sleep. But I just found out, after being out of the country and coming home that Brooke Fraser will not be performing her show tonight. My heart weeps. I've already told this to Brooke. My Music Tuesday of going to guitar lessons to teaching music lessons and seeing Brooke Fraser with the Cary Brothers is only a dream now. Maybe one day I'll finally see her live. Either way, I still heart this kiwi who keeps inspiring me.

ready for spring

I came back from the fabric store with two floral prints. One of the patterns is colourful and cheerful, while the other is full of sunshine and reminds me of Anthropologie. I am so ready to sew these skirts! Especially with spring around the bend. Sewing and wearing skirts bring me to happiness and makes me want to sing.

"I wear a demeanor made or bright pretty things."

(Brooke Fraser)

I do things on a whim. And lately, I've been on a music, live performance and concert whim. Last weekend, I flew to Hong Kong to see a friend and went to a Taylor Swift concert with her. Next weekend, I will be seeing the legendary Eric Clapton live at the MGM. In May, I'll be seeing Brooke Fraser in my hometown. I am so excited and can't wait! Music is the fire that awakes my heart, the reason I love and live.

To All The Things I Love About Today

Rain...

I love how this rainy weather isn't going anywhere. My windows are opened and the cool breeze feels wonderful right now. Raindrops splashing on sidewalks and mystical clouds hanging over me. What could possibly be better?!

Music...

Let's see, Taylor Swift and Brooke Fraser. I walked through the halls of my high school today and it felt so weird being back there. I felt every bit of Taylor Swift's songs true and with me. Even the rain made me listen to their songs. 

"With you I'd dance, in a storm in my best dress, fearless" (Taylor Swift)

"I'm hanging here just reminiscing about all the things you said to me" (Brooke Fraser).

And these songs describe how the rain made me feel today. 

Plus, I loved guitar lessons today. I played on an electric. Now I want one.

Friends...

Lots of hugs and knowing who my true friends are. I love them.

Staying inside and watching movies...

Today, I watched Forever Strong

Sean Faris is beautiful. 

Love this movie to death. 

Brought me to tears, almost cried. 

Never thought I would love rugby and the haka so much.

Kia kaha.
