I haven’t been this excited about a country act -or a music act – in a long,long time but this weekend I “discovered” Due West while at the GA national fair and let me tell you guys something,I’m hooked.I’ve fallen head over feet (not even heels) in love and lust with these three guys.
They are super talented.
They are gorgeous to look at.
They play guitar like it’s going out of style.
Due West is amazing.
How come I had never heard of them until the fair?Oh well,thats not even important..I’m totally crushing on these guys and I’ve been listening to their tunes non stop!!
I actually went on my first date with a sweet guy to the fair on Sunday and he was nice enough to sit through the entire Due West set with me despite the fact that he cannot stand country music and just this morning he texted me saying he actually enjoyed Due West’s performance and not just that but he was listening to them right when he sent me the text!Look at that,they managed to get him to listen to country!!BTW,my date took that picture of Due West performing above.
Will things out with the new guy…who knows?It’s too early to tell but I know for sure my relationship with Due West is just starting and as long as they keep releasing good music,I’m in this relationship for the long haul and I’ll keep supporting them!!
Here’s the band performing my favorite song – “Tell Her” (they have so many awesome songs but that right there is my absolute favorite!)
Everyone please,please call your local country stations and request Due West music…these guys are awesome,trust me!!
Have you ever wondered if your life matters?
If you have then Andy Andrews has an answer for you and it’s a resounding “YES,it does!”
In the beautifully written The Butterfly Effect: How Your Life Matters, Andy Andrews lays out exactly how every decision we make intentionally or unintentionally affects not just our lives but also the lives of others.
For the longest time I avoided reading The Butterfly Effect because I wrongly believed it was some complicated scientific mystery but fear not,it is a very simple theory and the author does a very beautiful job of breaking it down in the simplest form possible.There is absolutely nothing scientific about this book but it will have you thinking real hard before you make your next move.
Can one boy change the world?
Why ofcourse he can,if you believe the wonderful book by Andy Andrews aptly titled The Boy Who Changed the World
This is a beautiful children’s book with clear illustrations and a story thats very easy to follow.
It reminded me of the days back when children’s books actually had a moral at the end of the story and I know you will be very happy with the lesson at the end of this story.
Don’t be surprised if this book quickly becomes your child’s favorite and you have to read it to them 20 times each day before bed…and trust me,that won’t necessarily be a bad thing because it means they get to hear the positive lesson in this tale 20 times each single day!
There is no better compliment in life than someone revealing to you that whether knowingly or not,you changed their lives.I can think of a few people who have changed my life but the one person I keep coming back to over and over again is my mother.Every single stage of my life,she’s been there with a story to tell, a word of encouragement and sometimes just a hug or a smile and I can say without a doubt,she has changed my life.Her words have changed my life.Her actions have changed my life.I’m blessed to not only have her as a mother but as a friend too.
The holiday season is fast approaching and I know just the perfect gift for that special person who has truly changed your life…give them a copy of Max Lucado’s incredible book: You Changed My Life: Stories of Real People With Remarkable Hearts. True to the title,it’s filled with heart warming stories of regular folks just like you and I who changed people’s lives for the better with just a few words and actions.
This is by far the best Max Lucado book ever in my opinion and trust me when I say the person you give this to will treasure it forever.It’s a very inspiring and uplifting book and Lord knows we could all use a little uplifting these days.
-Where there is pain, I wish you peace and mercy.
-Where there is self-doubting, I wish you a renewed confidence in your ability to work through it.
-Where there is tiredness, or exhaustion, I wish you understanding, patience, and renewed strength.
-Where there is fear, I wish you love, and courage.
Here’s a view of Atlanta during the early stages of the evening rush hour.
I’m passionately in lust with this city,even with all the crime and traffic.
I feel so at home in Atlanta,like for the first time in my life I’m in the right place at the right time…ofcourse this could all change tomorrow given how fast I change my mind about stuff but for now,this crazy southern city is home!
I’m single and dating and this card swiped from postsecret.com ages ago struck a chord with me…
Sometimes a girl just needs a man to hold her hand.Seriously.
Shocking.I know,but very true.
