I will say today, Happy New Year and I will mean it with all sincerity.  I think the reason I look to the New Year with such hope and anticipation may be most simply put, because it involves the word “New.” I’m thinking that I will introduce a new concept this year….  Happy New Month, […]

til January 2nd, at least….it will SNOW on my blog.  For those of you in the more temperate climates it’s a little virtual winter treat.  Now all you need is the DVD of that crackling fire playing on your tv in the background to complete the effect.  You’re welcome.

Rejoice! Rejoice!

My favorite Christmas Carol is actually not a Christmas Carol per se…but rather a song of hope, sung during Advent.   Written during the 9th Century I love the way the verse reads in Latin: Veni, veni Emanuel!Captivum solve Israel! Qui gemit in exilio, Privatus Dei Filio Gaude, gaude, Emanuel Nascetur pro te, Israel.   […]

I’ve been feeling blue lately…the stress of selling our house and not really knowing where we will live next I think has gotten to me a little this season of Joy and Peace.  My “sense of place” is all out of whack…I’m missing this piece and then missing the Peace that comes from that.   Today, […]

True Confessions…I have never been able to write a “Worship” song. I have tried to do it for church and such…it’s just not in my songwriting nature I suppose. The closest I have come is this tune. I wrote this for the soundtrack of my DoxaSoma DVD (available here for those interested parties….) And now […]

Something you probably never knew about Mrs Metaphor is that I am a utterly devoted and somewhat rabid Kate Bush fan. I have not located a youtube video to embed for this tune but at the very least you can read the lyrics to one of my favorites:Why Should I Love You? This chapter says […]

It’s taken a while but I have finally procured a decent picture of my mid life crisis tattoo and I thought I would share that with you. I think it turned out rather well, myself. Many thanks to Rodney at Insight Studios in Chicago.

Even though NaBloPoMo is over I thought I’d subject you to some more of my poetry.  Don’t complain, there isn’t THAT much in my poetic repetoire so count your blessings, yes?  I wrote this one a few years ago….I still love it.  Sometimes, it helps to read poetry aloud for the full effect.  Better yet, […]

My brain hurts….

I say this a lot….in the gumby accent and rarely do people really “get” it. This is probably one of my favorite Monty Python sketches…alongside the Pet License sketch. Have a nice day:
