Since I moved across the country to jazz/rock ‘n roll school, friends and family have been inquiring “What exactly do you do?” Well I sing, I play…and I write tunes like this. I hate disclaimers, but please be mindful that this was a 1 take sort of recording just to give all of you friends an idea of what I do. :) !! hope you enjoy the tune

The First Snow of my First Winter

Yes, I am the cat in this scenario. This morning, I woke up to find multiple texts from friends to “look outside my window”. I felt much like a little kid as I struggled to bring up my window shades in a sleepy stupor. It was snowing!

Is snow going to be this exciting in February, March…or (eek!), shall I even say it…May?

I think this picture accurately describes how I’ve been feeling the last couple days.

I think I’m usually pretty good at hiding my negative emotions, butttttt sometimes we all need a day or two to get the grumpy out of our systems. Venting sessions have been much needed and much appreciated. I am oh,so thankful for the friends in my life who listen to me vent from time to time.

Diagnosis? I’m pretty sure I just have a bad case of the grad-school blues. But I need something to get me through the next 9 days before Thanksgiving VACAY! I KNOWWW….

I can do a project-grateful. I will post something I’m grateful for everyday leading up the VACAY…I mean, I think thats a pretty great way to kick off Thanksgiving, anyhow!

"The important thing is to not be bitter over life’s disappointments. Learn to let go of the past & recognize that everyday won’t be sunny. And when you find yourself lost in the darkness of despair, remember that it’s only in the black of night that you seethe stars, & those stars lead you back home"

"But pain is hard to put into words and in life there is always pain. It’s as natural as birth or death. Pain makes us who we are, it teaches us and tames us, it can destroy and it can save."

Notes Becoming Bex

There’s an important question that frequents my thoughts: How do I embrace/grow into the fullness of who I am? AKA: What does it mean to be ‘Becoming Bex’?

A couple years ago, I realized that I had been gaining weight significantly for 4 consecutive years. At my heaviest, I weighed in at 152 which about 30 lbs overweight for a 4’ 11” itty bitty gal like myself. Unfortunately, it took a couple of herniated discs and a pinched nerve to realize the extra weight NEEDED to come off.

I am excited to say that sine February of last year, I have lost 18.4 lbs (using Jenny Craig’s metabolic max program which incorporates the AWESOME Body Media Fit program). I currently weigh in at 133.6 . I will begin to post updates about this journey…

I know that each time I deny myself, I am Becoming more fully Bex. I mean come on, today my church was having a free pancake breakfast for new parishioners! That was some major self denial to say no to free pancakes.

I know that as I struggle to inch closer to my healthy goal weight, I am indeed Becoming Bex. (and it sure looks more becoming!)

Bex.
