One Year Later

October 16th, 2011
Photo #365
Wow. I'm not sure I really know where to start here. One whole year later I begin to write my last blog post. Where one entire year has gone I just couldn't tell you. It really doesn't feel like one year has came and gone. One year ago today, I was sitting in Ithaca, NY coming up with the idea of this little 365 project. A way for me to chronicle one of the most pivotal years in my twenties. Now, I sit in my room in Nashville, TN looking at Photo #1 which now sits beautifully in a frame on my dresser. A reminder of where I've been, where I'm going and who I am. I don't think its possible to recap an entire year. So much has happened, so much has changed. I've loved, I've lost. I've left things behind, yet gained so, so much more. I grew up so much within this time span its crazy. I've gained the power to be on my own, support myself, and have the means to find all the things I want out of life. I've landed my dream job in the music industry working for one of the most success country acts in the business. It's still a dream come true every day, but I never stop thanking those who got me here and I never forget where I came from. I've established a new home in a new city that I couldn't love any more. I've met some of the most incredible people, and discovered the true ones who will be in my life forever. What have a I learned? Oh goodness way too many things. Don't pull out of the garage without looking or the mirror gets ripped off. It takes at least 20 minutes to get to the office so leave the house with that much time as to not be late. Don't drink tequila on Thursdays, that needs to be saved where an entire day of recovery is available the next day. But enough about the don'ts. Never hold back what I'm feeling. Always stand up for myself and the ones I love. Fight for the things that are important, but learn to let go when the timing isn't right. Stop looking for the answers and the perfection, they come to us when we least expect it and the beauty in them is unmatchable. Call your parents and tell them you love them. Embrace every moment and soak up each little detail because time flies by way too quickly, clearly. Savor every memory I can. And most importantly I've learned, today's photo (thanks to my beautiful sister for this one) "Let the beauty of what you love be what you do". If you practice that intention every day, I don't think you can go wrong. Even if what you love isn't what others consider loveable, still love it and still do it. Do things for yourself and then the rest will come together. It seems and sounds like a selfish act but the balance of what you do for others falls into place when you do what you love for yourself. A part of me knows I am such a different person from the girl who started this blog just one year ago. But there is the other part of me that is still just me. A big dreamer, with big ambitions who never stops reaching even after the goals have been achieved. Still a red head (for those who know me it's amazing I've had the same hair color for a year, but I'm sticking with this one). Still a hopeless romantic. Still a lover, friend, yogi, feminist, weirdo. All combined together in a crazy beautiful sort of way. Over the past year I've definitely been on that journey to find out all these things about myself. And you know what, I'm not going to solidify that knowledge in just one year. But this has been one hell of year. I wouldn't trade one laugh, one tear, one broken heart, one drunken night, one stressful move, one ridiculous fight, one way too long of a road trip, one inappropriate action, nothing. It was all perfect in it's imperfections. And, one year later, I am where I am supposed to be. This is only the beginning. The most pivotal years of my life are now just approaching my sight, and if they are anything like this past year, I cannot wait to dive right in and breathe in every ounce of beauty.

Southern Football

I have finally experienced my first real big time southern college football game. SEC style and everything. LJ and I went to the Georgia Vandy game this evening and had an absolute blast. I learned all the UGA lingo and everything. Plus I even got to see the amazing team I work with at the tailgate. So lovely. Now we are at a local bar enjoying some beer and wings and watching another football game. Southern and classy. But the craziest thing, tomorrow is the las day of my blog. One whole year later. Incredible. I better start thinking about tomorrows post now..

It has been one lovely Friday evening. I made my first lasagna, mushroom and spinach, and now I'm drinking vino on the couch with my wifey and D. Accompanied by the amazing game that is Scategories. And this little guy playing along with us is Rowdie. He always brings the party and can always make you laugh. I've literally been dying when D or LJ makes him talk. Yes, he is an actually person who chimes in on the conversation whenever necessary. Who needs the downtown bars when you can sit in your pjs with the ones you adore and laugh til the sun comes up?

I attended my very first Nashville Preds hockey game this evening. I had such a blast. We totally got the star treatment and sat in the suite with never ending food and beverages. Unfortunately the Preds lost, but I now officially feel like a Nashvillian. This is home.

I don't think I could have asked for a better mid-week celebration. There is absolutely no reason to celebrate, except the fact that life is good and I'm in amazing company. Plus I never need an actual reason to drink red wine, eat ice cream, and listen to records. What a wonderful life it really can be.

An Apple A Day

October 11th, 2011
Photo #360
Look at me blogging on schedule and getting an actual photo from today up on the blog. Epic. It's obviously because I had this amazing delicious apple today. You know what they say about an apple a day doing the body and soul good. This photo does not even come close to do the size of this Honey-crisp justice. Apples this fresh and gorges are insanely expensive down here in the south because they are carted in from the amazingly wonderful upstate NY. All I've wanted to do was go apple picking this fall and that just hasn't seemed to happen which is honestly depressing. So when I went to the market yesterday day and saw perfect brown bags of these beauties I could not resist. They not only look and taste like home, but they smell like home. What I wouldn't give to be drinking hot apple cider on the Woodstock Green or strolling through the Ithaca Farmers Market. If this is as close as I'm going to get for now, I will be buying a bag of these delectable fruits every other day.

I love anything to do with old times and vintage. I've blogged about it before and there is just something about things from the past that have been restored to be beautiful.

I just booked my flight home for the holidays today and I am SO excited about it. By the time I get back to New York it will have been over six months since I've been there. I don't know where all this time has gone but I have pretty much loved every second of it. Speaking of time, I have only TEN blog posts left until I have completed my 365 project. Say what?! Where the last year has gone, I could not even tell you. It feels like just yesterday I began this beautiful photo journey. But I don't want to get into a serious reflection until the last and final post. So you will have to wait with bated breath for about another week until you get the big finale.

Speaking of being smitten, I was so much so that I may or may not have been in the appropriate work attire this morning. Good thing I work in the music industry so wearing the same similar leggings and a men's button-down isn't even thought about or looked at. #happygirl

Fall weather has finally arrived. Yes, even in the south. I can't tell you how much I adore this time of year. And I would do anything for it to stay this way. We had a fabulous weekend in Georgia and got to enjoy every drop of the sunshine and cool breeze. LJ and I posed for this lovely photo before the football game. Blue skies, best friends, and fall fashion. Perfection.

My darling mother always surprises me with random little text messages here and there. This one came in last night and I almost died. My cousins from Switzerland are visiting my parents in NY and they brought a bunch of their friends with them. They all just finished med school and are going on a little world adventure before they begin the real medial profession. I skyped with everyone last night and got so home sick. I miss home so much and seeing my Swiss family is so few and far between that I hate to miss out. But after our video chat I got this message from my Momma and couldn't help but smile and laugh. The question is, where are these men she speaks of?

This was supposed to follow the previous post from the wedding but well, that got lost in the shuffle. After dancing our little booties off at the wedding, we all ventured downtown for some honkey tonking. Typical Nashville. But this picture was snapped and it's just too perfect for words and everyone looks amazingly stunning. Feeling like a southern belle in this one.

My boss absolutely made my Monday when she brought this incredible little gift into my office this morning. She knows that this is my go to saying in any situation and has never heard anyone use it as much as I do. The thought was so incredibly lovely that it literally made my entire day. I know I've said it before, but it really is all about the simple things in life and little gestures from others that make all the difference in the world. Now I have this fabulous little nugget to sit upon my desk and remind me every day that this problem free philosophy are words to live by.

I went to my first Tennessee Titans game this afternoon. I have only ever been to one other NFL game back in high school so this was rather exciting today. Plus, now that I officially call Nashville home it's about time I officially become a Titans fans. Soon it will also be a Predators fan as well. It's the little things like cheering on a football team that make me realize I have planted my roots and really begun that next phase of my life. Pretty epic and I love it all.

I'm starting my search now.

West Coast Reunion

September 16th, 2011
Photo #335
A huge perk of traveling to LA this week, not that my entire job isn't one incredible perk, I got to reunite with my A-team for one very special evening. I haven't seen this beautiful blondie since we graduated IC and she made the big move to The City Of Angels and I took off like a free bird below the Mason Dixon Line. It was so wonderful to see her. We got to catch up, reminisce, and of course laugh with and at one another, something that was a constant in our lives for the past two and half years. Having true friends like Miss AD are too beautiful for words. It doesn't matter when, where, or how far because when given the chance to reunite we make it happen and pick up right where we left off. Life is crazy and doesn't make a whole lot of sense most of the time but when I'm with the amazing, true young women I am honored to call my friends, it all becomes clear and totally understandable.

Love, Life And The Pursuit

September 15th, 2011
Photo #334
I really have been missing a serious amounts of posts lately. I apologize, it's just been a heck of a journey the last few weeks with my new incredible career that allows for me to travel rather frequently. And this week it took me back to Los Angeles, as blogged about in the previous post. It was actually a great time. All of our shows and gigs were amazing and there was some downtime that allowed me to really bond with my new family of coworkers. I truly am a very lucky girl. I know I worked my ass off to get to where I am, but I will never forget how fortunate I am. I recently went through, and actually still going through, a pretty tough and lonely time, mainly inside my own head, thinking that certain key things were missing in my life. I thought that by fighting for what I believed in and for what I knew I loved all would finally be complete. That of course, as life so tenderly loves to do to us, did not work out in my favor. Heat break and disappointment are never easy, but they do teach you a lesson. And I myself came to a realization that the past is in the past for a reason. It didn't follow me here or fight for me to keep it in the present because because it's the past. As in no longer, done, and most importantly different than what it used to be. I can't, and all of us for that matter, let one thing in our lives consume us so that it begins to darken the immaculately bright and shining things that we have here and now in our present. Don't get me wrong, this is all much easier typed out in a blog post late at night on a plane ride home as opposed to actually applying it to my life, but we've got to start somewhere don't we? Sometimes I think of myself as being so stupid as to let something like a beautiful memory of my past get the best of me. Especially for letting myself think it would all really work out and be the perfect thing it never truly got the chance to be. But such is life. If we were handed all the things we wanted that would make us feel like we have reached perfection, there would be no beauty to discover in the disaster. If this past would have made it's way into actually being my present, I would not be living in the amazing place I now call home. I wouldn't have the career I've worked my whole life to finally attain. I wouldn't be fulfilled with my accomplishments and have pride in my Independence and success. I wouldn't have all these new and inspiring people surrounding me. I would have that one love, but I'm not so sure I'm convinced on the whole "All you need is love" bit they talk so highly about. I mean of course you need love, but love in the broader sense of the word. And most importantly love in yourself. Love in your own mind, body, spirit and soul so that you can have all the other things fall into place on their own time. I gave up one chance of something when I left home almost four months ago, but I've gained entirely so, so much more along my pursuit. So as tired out as that other saying "Everything happens for a reason" is, I definitely believe it does. As much as we don't want things to happen the way they do at the time, when enough time passes where you are allowed to heal and move on, when you look back on it all you do is come to realize that it happened that way to get you to where you should me. I'm slowly getting through that healing and moving on phase, which comes in due time. But now I know I sure as hell can't let it bring me, and all the other once in a lifetime opportunities I now have on a regular basis, down and take away from it. As someone very, very wise once told me (and this will be the last cliche saying I throw at you) "Too blessed to be stressed."

Its another empty few days for the #houseoflove this week. You've see our weekly updates before, ridiculous humor and all, so I'm pretty sure this photo speaks for itself today. My alarm is set for 3:45am and I'm on a plane to Los Angeles at 6am. So I am in bed and ready to knock out right now way before 9pm. It's another whirlwind 36 hour trip so I need as much rest as possible. Still can't believe I'm going back to LA though. I mean, I'm looking forward to it because of work and all that's lined up, but I loathed that city while I lived there. There is even a video of me stating that I will never return to Los Angeles. So funny how life brings you back around to places for another go around but in a completely different context and circumstances. I am looking forward to it, I can't lie, but once again only because of work and what we have set up for the day and half we are there. Plus I may even get to squeeze in some reunion time with my college roomie who is kicking ass out there in the marketing world. Alright LA, I'll give you one more shot.

It was such an exciting and insane time to come into this job two weeks before the release but it was well worth it to get me up to speed and on the right page to take over everything I am now responsible for.

Deep Dish

September 11th, 2011
Photo #330
Before I start today's post I just want to say that I in now way disregard the meaning of today. Ten years ago was an immense devastation on our country and has changed the entire course of history. Where the last ten years have gone I am not sure. But it was a total emotional wakeup call to watch all the memorials and special and realize what an effect it still has on so many people. It's impossible to deny that it's been put out of many people's mind because we weren't directly effected by the loss and heartbreak. So before I write about the amazing pizza I had in Chicago, yes so vain in the grand scheme of things, I want it to be known that today I sent out all my love, positivity, and remembrance in honor of this anniversary. And to segue into today's photo I will make it short and sweet. I was determined not to leave Chicago until I indulged in the traditional deep dish stuffed pizza. Holy cheese it was incredible. I could only eat on slice but it was well worth it. As a thin crust loving New Yorker I was almost convinced on this deliciousness. Good, but not as good as NY pizza.

Daily Mantra

September 10th, 2011
Photo #329
Today is my first day traveling for work. Getting on a plane and jet setting to a new place is always something I have adored. But traveling in this industry is a whole other level. We are in Chicago for 36 hours and from the second we got off the plane it's nonstop. We only had time to check into the hotel and drop our bags before having to be in the car and on the way to the venue. It never stops when you're on the road for shows. But that is the nature of the beast and I'm ready to snuggle with this beast every day without a doubt. Which brings me to today's photo, a friend of mine in NYC tweeted it a few days ago and I just couldn't help but love it. What a great daily mantra to have in a routine that is so day to day and on the run. I've been meaning to share this one for a while so here you go. Incorporate this into your daily thought process and you can't go wrong.

I can't remember the last time I've had a no talk relaxing Friday night to myself. The past month it feels like has been jammed with visitors, celebrations, get aways, and weddings every single weekend. Please I am not making a fuss over those and the partying that went along with it all, but I am just worn out. Especially with all my excitement and insanity at work I feel like I haven't had time to just seriously veg out. But tonight that is exactly what I am doing. The #houseoflove is empty and will be completely vacant come to tomorrow when I head out of town for work, so I'm posted up on the couch all cozy under a blanket getting all the rest I need before the huge workweek ahead that starts tomorrow. So now I bid you all adieu so I can completely disconnect for the next 24 hours. Thank you and good night.

Not only did I have my best friend from home in town this weekend, it was also my amazingly fabulous roommate DD's birthday. The 25th birthday too. All the more reason to celebrate. And boy did we do so in our typical socialite fashion. Today's photo gives that a little justice. Loving life and absolutely exquisite. I didn't continue the celebrations this evening because of a big week at work, but I did receive an epic phone call from the other three members of our humble abode. My goodness do I adore them.

The Sweetest Thing

Photo #320
Well, shoot September where in the world did you come from?? In honor of my BFF from NY coming to Nashville tomorrow, and the fact that LJ had never seen this movie meaning she never understood every single quote I use on a daily basis, we watched one of my all time favorite movies tonight. My goodness I haven't laughed like that in a while. This film has been a staple in my life since the 8th grade. My one group of friends and I from home have a cult like obsession with it and can have literal conversations of just lines from this movie. For whatever reason most people just don't get why we think it's so damn hilarious. Well to that response I have to say, if you have not seen it go as fast as you possibly can to do so and if you don't laugh or think it's stupid you clearly don't have the ridiculous goofy sense of humor that a small selective group of us do. It's the small and sweet things during the day to day that make you laugh, no matter what they may be you'll laugh at it at one point or another. Jesus look it's Jesus!!

Irene's Aftermath

August 30th, 2011
Photo #319
If you haven't heard because you've been living under rock, which now has most likely been blown a few miles away, Hurricane Irene took an immense toll on the north eastern coast over this past weekend. New York was hit terribly and so much damage has been done it's hard to keep watching all the devastation. My hometown area was hit extremely hard. Trees were uprooted, roads and bridges collapsed, and entire houses have been washed away. It's really hard to understand the seriousness of it all being so far away, but from what my parents and friends have told me and photos like this, which by the way this is or was my backyard, it really is insanity. People have been without power for days and it is nearly impossible to get anywhere without having to take a super long detour. I wish there was something I could do but unfortunately the sending of my love and positivity is all that I can do from where I am at, as well as fully understanding how lucky my family was to not have any irreplaceable damage to our home and belongings. We are all extremely grateful!

Apologies, as always, for the missed post yesterday. This week has been the craziest and most exciting whirlwind imaginable. But I am loving every second. This photo I got by means of text message and absolutely adored it. My gorgeous Momma was in her natural environment at the Blues Festival in my hometown. Look at her in those too fabulous for words pants. I told her she was one very lucky lady that those pants are safely in her closet back in NY because they would be mine and on my body otherwise!

Roadside Market

It was a serious struggle getting back to Nashville today. We didn't leave ATL until like 5pm because getting off the couch was nearly impossible. Although it does indicate that we had one epically successful weekend. So during our journey back north we made a little pit stop to refuel the tank and our hungover selves. During this little stop we came across a storybook type roadside stand full of peaches and other kinds of produce. The fresh local fare was rather delectable and the best part was this sign that accompanied the perfect Georgia peaches. Despite the teensy spelling mistake it was just too darling not to capture and blog. I also has my first experience with southern boiled peanuts. Give myself an A for effort for trying them but they are just not something I'm into. Overall, great weekend and despite the struggle great trip back. Back to reality tomorrow but it is the beginning of the most exciting time of my life!
