It is not secret that my favorite musician in the wide world is Patty Griffin. On her latest album, Downtown Church, she sings “You’re Coming Home to Me” with Julie Miller (wife of the amazing Buddy Miller). This song is hauntingly beautiful. I can’t listen to it without crying. When I listen to this song,…

Permission to Speak Freely {Book Review}
It has been a while since I have submitted a book review for all of you here on My Living Canvas. This is not from lack of reading, just lack of having the discipline to sit down and pound out a review! So I am pleased to make a book review comeback with my review…
Stepping Heavenward, Cupcake Wars and the Next Food Network Star
So my silence pays tribute to these three… Stepping Heavenward, Cupcake Wars, and the Next Food Network Star. What can I say? Summertime has come upon me, a time when I only think of reading pool-side and fine dining table-side. I am embarrassed to say that I was unaware of Cupcake Wars until watching the…

I love getting my music on at work on Fridays. Fridays tend to be catch up days, lots of office work, very few meetings. So I typically plug in the IPhone and roll through a playlist or two while catching up on emails. Today, however, I am trying out a new app called I Heart…

This includes weather events, meteor showers, aurora boralias, and of course all things beyond Earth’s atmosphere. So today I was…

Hot Summer Sun – 2010 Music Playlist for Summer
Here it is, my Summer 2010 playlist of summertime goodness. Disclaimer: some of you may not like all of these songs. Its definitely more edgy and less pop than normal for me. But to me, these are roll down the windows, let your hair fly and sing at the top of your lungs songs that…
Funtime Friday – 1995
