Me, Marsha Marie

    Ah music! The greatest mood-modifier of all time! Whether your sad, in love, feeling funny, or just want to dance, we all have our favorites-list tucked away in our hearts. A few times a year, our family will have a  sing-a-long night ; this is were we take turns at finding old songs that we love on YouTube and play them really loud. We laugh, sing and sometimes dance as a family. We've been doing this for several years now and they truly are some of our greatest family moments. (Honestly, it was my mother who started this tradition. She would play her favorite 50's songs loud and we would dance together. I remember us doing the Mash-Potato and the Twist,  and laughing for hours. Really amazing memories!)   A few weeks back, I thought that it would be great if I had a place I could go to that with all of my favorite videos already saved-up; and so,  MARSHA'S PLAYLIST   was born. Now it's eve...

Happy Pre-Turkey Day! I hope everyone is doing well and getting ready for the big day this week. For today's blog I want to share an inspiring article I've just run across.

Hi All,   In this week's blog I am writing a letter to someone special; I'm sure almost everyone can relate.             Dear Past, I got your message today that you wanted to talk to me. Why? What could you possibly want from me now? Or do you just want to give me more of your lies—more of your fake love?  At first, my heart fluttered thinking that perhaps I saw a sliver of light from a cracked door—could there be a chance of us being an " us" again? But then I remembered everything that you did and said to me those years we were in bondage. Is not the world a big enough place for the two of us? Go home to your latest victim, and at least try to be the man that you should have been with me. Please for God’s sake, learn from your mistakes. Listen. Will I forget the good times we had? No. Never. Will I forget the bad times? Oh, HELL no!....even though, I have to admit that your timing is quite odd really; j...
