Songful Style | “Behind the Wall of Sleep” by The Smithereens
It is Anne’s turn to choose the song for June’s Songful Style challenge and it is a very special song choice in my opinion. First of all, Anne’s birthday is on Friday so I love that her turn coincided with her special day. Second, she chose a song by The Smithereens! In case you all don’t know, Anne is very closely connected to this band. Her partner Severo was the bass guitarist for The Smithereens from 2005-2017 and occasionally still performs with them. In fact, he just performed with The Smithereens last month in New York City. Sadly, I was unable to coordinate a meet up with Anne and Severo…

Songful Style | “Leather and Lace” by Stevie Nicks and Don Henley & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #264
I must apologize for not getting this post live yesterday as I said I would. I began my 900 mile drive back home from North Carolina before 6:00 a.m. on Monday and arrived home just before noon on Tuesday. I thought I would sit down and write it then, but after unpacking all of my things and getting back into the parenting routine at home I was just too darn tired. I will share more about my trip next week once I get myself a bit more organized. For now, let me share more inspiration for March’s Songful Style prompt.

Move Over Fab 40’s, It’s Time for a New Style Game & Link Up On the Edge #281
“The time has come. The time is now. Marvin K. Mooney will you please go now?” Dr. Seuss Is anyone familiar with that book? Marvin K. Mooney Will You Please Go Now! by Dr. Seuss? It is one of my childhood favorites. My father used to read it to me in the dentist’s office when I was young. I had terrible anxiety about going to the dentist. We would sit in the cold unwelcoming waiting room and my father would read the whole book, really loudly in a silly voice until I was in fits of laughter and had forgotten all about my dental anxiety. I don’t think we ever…
