If They Could Speak

If They Could Speak

If They Could Speak

Rosanne Pellicane

Yes, life is different now but remember when it was beautiful?

Well, it will be again, though not the same.

The wounds will heal, your tears will dry and though scars remain,

I know you are strong enough to live through the pain.

Do not grieve and linger in the shadows of graves.

Go out into the sunshine and tell everyone that I was here.

Let our enemy know…

Sew Excited

 “Style is a way to say who you are without having to speak.” Rachel Zoe

Hello, hola, howdy! It’s been an extremely long, ridiculously long, time since I’ve written in this blog. My absence, in a nutshell:

Work (hectic and crazy).

Life (good, hectic, good).

Hopefully, this entry will open the floodgates to the opportunity to write more posts. We shall see. For now, it seems fitting (no pun…

I wonder if the lunatics who orchestrated, supported, and reveled in the destruction of so many lives realize how profoundly they erred. (more…)

National Relaxation Day

“Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is relax.” Mark Black

It’s National Relaxation Day, y’all and I’m ironically writing this post at one of the least relaxing places I frequent- work.

Work is where I spend the majority of my time during the week, so I believe it behooves me to come up with ways to sprinkle some relaxation throughout my workdays. Here are some of the things I do at…

On The Run Tour 2

On The Run Tour 2

“Nothing beats a live performance. Nothing.” Jonathan Demme

Predictions of possible thunderstorms in East Rutherford, NJ, for Friday, August 3rd had my mind racing back to the previous day when reports of severe thunderstorms led to the evacuation of the Thursday night On the Run ll show (“OTR 2”) audience at MetLife Stadium. Thankfully, the skies were clear and not a raindrop in sight for one…

Cloudy Days

“Preserve your memories, keep them well, what you forget you can never retell.” Louisa May Alcott

A few Saturday’s ago, I woke up ready to do what I do most mornings; check my phone for recently uploaded Instagram pictures and stories, Facebook posts, and the latest implosion from the current administration. Instead, I was greeted by an essentially dead phone. No matter what I tried, I couldn’t…

*Not shown because it wouldn’t fit in the Instagram picture frame, a picture of a rose, followed by a quote from William Shakespeare.* It seems like forever since I’ve uploaded anything onto my blog, “My Life And Such.” The flu/cold/plague I had for weeks didn’t help. I digress. A post sort of about Valentine’s Day and Ash Wednesday which have fallen on the same day this year. Neither of which I celebrate. I digress.
