Who's In Your Tribe ?

I Dig This

 Friendships are an important anchor in our lives.  And a strong one is even better.  The kind of friendships that bend and wave with the challenging times, the kind that stays strong despite disagreements, annoyances, distance or time apart.  The kind that never breaks apart and lasts longer than you could ever imagine.  

Relationships are powerful too.  But they take a lot of work.  Some do fall apart and become "comfortable".  Others grow and challenge each other and hopefully will become more meaningful as time goes on.  I've witnessed some really wonderful relationships and I've seen many just wither away.  Including some of mine in the past.  But I feel pretty confident that this current relationship will last for all the years that we would want. 

My friendships are vital to me.  I know lots of people and I have lots of "friends" but my closest peeps are a small but mighty circle.  They are my Tribe.  They get my crazy, my anxiety, my humor, my generosity and my heart.  I cannot even imagine where I'd be without my peeps that I love so very much.  The kind that can read your mind, knows when your heart hurts and is always ready for silly conversations.  And the serious ones too.  And I certainly cannot imagine where I'd be without them this past year especially after losing my mom so quickly.  I felt so much love from my friends near and far.  Seriously.  I could feel that vibe.  

I hope you have that vibe too.  I hope that you have a strong circle of peeps who keep you afloat.  It really doesn't take much now does it?  It just takes a heart.  And sometimes a strong one too.  But that's not a bad thing to have.  It all comes back to you anyway, right?  So here's to our friends near and far.  May we all send and feel the love for many, many more years to come.  Until next time...elizinashe

Sending Love

It's Been A While...

One of the Best Ever !

 Is Summer over yet?  Sure is hot today.  Bleh.

So I've had lots to write or discuss, but it just seems to be a bit too heavy.  However, on my errands today, one of my friends asked my opinion on Dave, that is the Dave Matthews Band and which did I think was a great album to begin with.  Oh man....did this make my heart patter. 

I immediately came up with my top three favorites.  Replied to his text and listed the top songs he needs to pay attention to.  Oh there are so, so many.  Songs about frustration, love and naughty things too.  I love it all. 

By all means, Under the Table and Dreaming is hands down one of my favorites.  Lots of super awesome songs and some with heavy lyrics too.  I dig that.  Another all time favorite song on this album is Granny.  Oh Hell, who am I kidding?  Rhyme and Reason, Dancing Nancies...shoot.  But again, many, many of my all time faves on this particular album.  

Next, I move on to Before These Crowded Streets.  Another great one and a great follow up to the previous.  Oh so many...Next?  Big Whiskey and the Groo Grux King.  Lots of good stuff there.  And they completed this after losing one of their founding bandmates suddenly.  So there are some good songs related to that loss.  Pain, anger, love...good stuff. 

So here I sit, listening to Under the Table while I type away and slowly clean around the house.  It seems like a good day to revisit a pile of good tunes.  This sort of stuff never gets old for me.  I hope you have a musician that powers up your soul like Dave does for me.  It sure does make the time pass more happily.  Especially on such a hot, muggy day.  

Until next time....elizinashe

I Love You Dave !
