#LoveAtFirstSound

A song is more than just notes strung together for 3 or 4 minutes… it’s an experience. A song always sparks a memory, a feeling, a moment in time. Hearing a new song can create a memory, and you will forever think of that very moment the next time you hear that song.

I think it’s so important to share the gift of music. That’s why I tweet any song I like with #LoveAtFirstSound along with it. It doesn’t matter if it was the 100th time I’ve heard the song, it always brings me back to the first time I heard it.

Here’s a refresh of some of the songs I’ve tweeted as well as some new ones! They’re just too good to keep to myself 😉

Adele, “Rolling in the Deep”

Graffiti6, “Stare Into the Sun”

Natasha Bedingfield, “Strip Me”

Enjoy falling in #LoveAtFirstSound!

Ciao for now!

I hope today you’re going green! Happy St. Patty’s Day!

I’ve already seen people in the office who aren’t wearing green! (shame on them haha) And when I threaten to pinch them they say “I’m Irish, I don’t need to wear green!” Since when was being Irish a reason to NOT wear green?? Oh well…

Happy St. Patty’s Day!

These are pix from my trip to Ireland two years ago!! We went to the Guiness factory, which was AWESOME to see each step of the brewing process! Dublin really is such a fun city!

Then we took the train out to Galway. This is a pic I quickly shot from the train as we embarked on our journey to the other side of the country! Such a beautiful countryside!

Here’s live version of a song that is the epitome of St. Patty’s Day!
“Raised on Black and Tans” by Gaelic Storm

I hope everyone can enjoy green beer, cornbeef, and cabbage on this beautiful GREEN St. Patrick’s Day! 🙂
