Still love this movie! This scene reminds me of what it’s like to write, edit, release, and promote a book. There are many ups and downs to putting your ideas into a story — and such a rush at times.

Hope you all have a great week!

Another good one in support of marriage equality.
“Edith “Edie” Windsor, who shared her life with her late spouse, Thea Spyer, for 44 years, files a lawsuit against the federal government for refusing to recognize their marriage. The lawsuit challenges the constitutionality of the “Defense of Marriage Act” (DOMA), a federal statute that defines marriage for all federal purposes as a legal union between one man and one woman as husband and wife. Windsor and Spyer were married in Canada in 2007, and were considered married by their home state of New York.” (Source: YouTube)
It’s been a while since I’ve shared some inspirational eye candy, and I really like this one (from Lily).
Enjoy!

Sharing a few videos today. Here are three songs that remind me of my upcoming release, Breathe: “Breathe (2AM)” by Anna Nalick, “Breathe” by Faith Hill, and “Better Days” by the Goo Goo Dolls.
Anna Nalick’s song has a couple lines that are very much at the core of Lincoln and Jay’s story. And remarkably, I did not think of this song when first writing the book or selecting the title.
Cause you can’t jump the track, we’re like cars on a cable,
And life’s like an hourglass, glued to the table.
No one can find the rewind button, boys,
So cradle your head in your hands,
And breathe… just breathe
The lyrics for “Better Days” really mean something to me when I think of Breathe.
So take these words
And sing out loud
Cuz everyone is forgiven now
Cuz tonight’s the night the world begins againAnd it’s someplace simple where we could live
And something only you can give
And thats faith and trust and peace while we’re alive
And this part from “Breathe” by Faith Hill:
In a way I know my heart is waking up
As all the walls come tumbling down
I’m closer than I’ve ever felt before
And I know
And you know
There’s no need for words right now‘Cause I can feel you breathe
It’s washing over me
Suddenly I’m melting into you
There’s nothing left to prove
Baby all we need is just to be
Caught up in the touch
The slow and steady rush
Baby, isn’t that the way that love’s supposed to be
I can feel you breathe
Just breathe
I’m a little excited for this release. Can you tell?

If you’ve been following my blog for a while you might know how much I liked the movie Shelter. Here’s a lovely montage that I just stumbled across. It’s set to the song “More Than This” (from the soundtrack).
