Great sentiments -- and I will save starting a whole new blog - but I like many am thankful for my family. It's been a rough few months for us, but I see my baby cousin healing everyday from his wounds in Afghanistan and I know that while not heal...

Oh God. I hate sappy.... but I forgive you this once! (Of course, I kid.) We don't celebrate Thanksgiving here, and I kind of feel left out, because a lot of the people I consider true friends are celebrating it far, far, away.... but even though...

Warning, sappy Thanksgiving post lol

Hey guys. It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything, just been laying low and going through the ups and downs of life just like everyone else.
Today however, being the day before a holiday where most of us give thanks for various reasons, I felt the need to share what I am most thankful for.
For most people, the first thing they are most thankful for is, of course, their family. And while I obviously adore my family and feel blessed to have them all with me, safe and sound and healthy and sti… Continue

In case you haven't seen this (under the NEWS tab on this site)

This ran on local television about six months after Spencer passed away - as we were planning the first concert and UofM fundraiser.

The Ties We've Tied - Dr. Stephen Craig - Interlochen

When Spencer attended Interlochen Arts Academy he was assigned to visit with a therapist once per week. As the "product" of relatively recently divorced parents, it was thought that he'd benefit from such sessions. Dr. Stephen Craig remembered Spence:

I have an unusual job. Day after day, people come into my office, sit down in front of me, pour out their deepest and darkest secrets and then get up and walk away. Many of them find this experience highly rewarding and they go on to tell thContinue

My Friend.....an SBL Friend....

Ever have a friend who ropes you into EVERYTHING! The friend you wouldn't be able to call to bail you out of jail, because they'd probably be sitting right next to you? A friend who follows your passions (as you would follow theirs) without question?

I have such a friend -- and God do I love the trouble the two of us can get in, the adventures that we have......and the fact that when we were doing some fundraising and awareness here on the east coast she jumped in both feet and never once compl… Continue

Jennifer Smith can't be stopped!

I'm sending off a CARE package today to Jennifer complete with August 15th concert tee shirts, FBAD and L&W CDs, cause bracelets at her request. She has plans to 'spread the music' and the 'cause' on her own.

My best advice has been that it will be tough to interest strangers in any of what we do here - people who don't know ACC or Spencer. Still, Jennifer is dedicated to this mission and I sincerely wish her the best.

Either way, the point is not the merchandise or even the ACC cause. The… Continue

Never Alone

Spencer Bell has done so much for me. I know he's brought a part of my writing back to me. I picked up a doodle book inspired by his drawings and poetry. I haven't been able to write a poem for years (and by that I mean 13 or so years.) I had to hardest time trying to find the right book. SO thank you to Spencer (and the two other people in my life that support my writing.)

In the darkest of my days, at least I have a pen and pap… Continue

Because

I know it has been quite some time since I posted anything, it hasn't been for lack of thought, or want, but simply because I have had periodic moments of selfishness, while I deal with something in my life that I thought I could handle much better than I am.

Having lost several members of my family to cancer, I should have been prepared for what I'm experiencing with my grandmother, but not even experience makes this easier, I'm afraid.

As a human, I have been screaming silently, and selfishl… Continue

Music on this site....

How do you feel about featuring certain songs on the site that you may like but that others may not have heard?

There's no 'technical' way for me to put one song up over another, so maybe you all can just add to this blog by calling attention to any song you think others might like to hear. Then others can select that song from the list (after all, I doubt too many people listen to all of the songs top to bottom! There are too many!).

If possible, I'll add anything I might know about the song(… Continue
