    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 even easier for me to enjoy my faves anytime, anywhere---straight

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.

  READY FOR THAT TALK NOW?   A Play in One Act   by   Marsha Marie       (Copyright © 2017 by Marsha Marie)       ***   Cast of Characters:   Marsha :  An amazing beautiful well-preserved woman in her early 50's---at least that is how she sees herself. In reality, she totally grey, no teeth and a bit on the chubby side.   Sidewalk Sam :  A fairly well-groomed, masculine-curved sidewalk outside Marsha's office in Tempe, Arizona.     ***   Scene   6pm, outside an office in Tempe, Arizona   Time   November 9, 2017           ***     ACT 1   Scene 1   Setting:   We are outside a fairly modern office building right in the curve of an access road off of the main street in downtown Tempe, Arizona.

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?
