I did a Musical Monday post last week and if you missed it you can check it out right here! This weeks I decided to do a post about the song Brave by Sara Bareilles. This song came out last year but I just found it and I have to say I have had it on repeat because I love the message of this song.
Now that you have listened to the song what do you think? Do you love what this song says to everyone? I think people today need to hear this song and the message because there is so much bullying going on and people feeling like they aren’t worth with anything. If more people tried to do what this song says I am sure there would be fewer people committing suicide. This post has turned into me basically saying people need to be nice to each other.
Anyway what do you think of this song? What songs are you loving now?
The Devil Walks In Mattingly by Billy Coffey was different from anything I have read before. I have to be honest with everyone this was one of the hardest books for me to get through. I found at times I got confused about who was talking and I would also get bogged down in all the details that the author used. I wanted to like this book because the premise of the story was something that I know I would like but it just wasn’t a book for me.
About The Book
For the three people tortured by their secret complicity in a young man’s untimely death, redemption is what they most long for . . . and the last thing they expect to receive.
It has been twenty years since Philip McBride’s body was found along the riverbank in the dark woods known as Happy Hollow. His death was ruled a suicide. But three people have carried the truth ever since—Philip didn’t kill himself that day. He was murdered.
Each of the three have wilted in the shadow of their sins. Jake Barnett is Mattingly’s sheriff, where he spends his days polishing the fragile shell of the man he pretends to be. His wife, Kate, has convinced herself the good she does for the poor will someday wash the blood from her hands. And high in the mountains, Taylor Hathcock lives in seclusion and fear, fueled by madness and hatred.
Yet what cannot be laid to rest is bound to rise again. Philip McBride has haunted Jake’s dreams for weeks, warning that he is coming back for them all. When Taylor finds mysterious footprints leading from the Hollow, he believes his redemption has come. His actions will plunge the quiet town of Mattingly into darkness. These three will be drawn together for a final confrontation between life and death . . . Between truth and lies.

“I didn’t want to be responsible for stealing your innocence.”
“You can’t steal something I willingly give.”
“I know that now, but more than anything, I wanted to shield you from me, from the industry, from worldly corruption. You’re everything I’ll never be, Megan.”
“But you’re everything I want to be,” she whispered. Scooting closer, she wrapped her fingers in his hair. “You’re generous, kind hearted, loving, and honest. You’re gentle yet aggressive, bold yet secretive. I didn’t tell you how I felt about you because I didn’t think I was your type.”
“You’re too good for me.”
“And you for me.”
His heart cartwheeled. If this wasn’t love, then it didn’t exist.
Author Info
It’s just crazy weird to talk about myself in third person so I’ll keep it real with fun facts.
Things you may or may not want to know:
1.) I live in small town Texas but wish the town was smaller.
2.) If you can make me laugh I’m a friend for life.
3.) I also write under another pen name.
4.) I’m in love with the idea of love but think sex is easier.
5.) I’m a Scorpio.
That’s me in a nutshell. No fanfare, no upsell, just me.
I got the idea for this post from a past writers workshop and I knew when I saw it that I had to write about it. The prompt is: Something that frustrates you. I knew I had to write about it because I find myself getting frustrated easily lately and I figured this might help me get the things off my chest and maybe even get over some of them. Anyway here goes the list of things that are currently frustrating me.
Idiot drivers who refuse to use their blinkers before they change lanes. I also am so tired of people cutting me off and then getting pissed off at me when I honk at them. I guess I should just be okay with getting cut off and almost getting in a wreck. I will try and remember that next time.
I answer the phones at work and I am so frustrated with people I work with not answering their calls and also never returning their voicemails. I am so tired of getting bitched at by the customers who get pissed off because they are never getting calls back. I understand the customers being pissed off but it isn’t my problem and I can’t make anyone answer their calls and/or listen to their voicemails.
I am frustrated that I can’t figure out how to make Elinore stopping pooping outside of the litter box. I wish I knew what caused her to start doing this let alone how in the hell I am going to make her stop doing this. If you have any suggestions please let me because we are all at our wits end with her.
I am super frustrated with my health and not knowing what is going on. I hate having Multiple Sclerosis because you never know what is going to happen and what the coming day will bring. I am so tired of not knowing what is going to happen or not knowing what is really going on because there is no way to really know.
Those are a few of things that I am frustrated about right now. I know there are more things but those are top 4 things that have me super frustrated right now.
Do you have any advice on how to deal with any of these? What are you frustrated about right now?
I haven’t written a Musical Monday post in a few months but I wanted to write another one because I have been in love with a song. Lately I have been in love with the song Hey Brother by Avicii. I have never actually heard this song on the radio here but I found it when I was listening to the iTunes radio feature that I have on my phone & iPod. I find that I just put this song on repeat and listen to it all the time which I find happens with songs that I love and songs that end up sticking around for me. There isn’t anything about this song in particular that I can find that as to why I like it so much but from the time I heard it I didn’t want to stop listening to it. In fact right when I heard it I had to download it so I couldn’t listen to it over and over again.
Now that you have had a chance to listen to the song & see the video what do you think?
