the road ahead

When we move, we pack all our heavy boxes and we wrap all our fragile belongings in newspaper. We repaint the walls and we begin to detach from a place we once called our home. Detaching becomes so natural when we know we're moving somewhere new. We just withdraw, and we do it without giving it much thought too. We just detach. There simply are no more attachments. Well, there may be a few, but we handle them the way we handle them, then we call the U-haul and we move on out. This is moving , in it's most typical sense. We've all done it. I've moved at least one hundred times. Relocating has actually become somewhat of a lifestyle for me. For some odd reason the tiresome traits that give moving such an unattractive appeal actually captivate me. I feel motivated by the inclination to pack up and go. It excites me. So yes, moving has become pretty typical for me because I personally need lots of excitement, but what's not typical, and what I wis...

defining glory

Here I am...defining glory . Or, at least doing my best to. Where I am, well that's more of an unsolved mystery. It may even be the charade of the century - a puzzle I strive to unriddle each day. If I could just defeat the sly joker who frolics with delight in my head, if I could just catch him in his tracks, then reaped would be the answers to my two most concerning questions: Where am I?  Who am I? I feel like I'm everywhere doing everything. I feel like I'm morphing into everyone in some way or another too, everyone I've ever loved, and all my feelings have lead me to believe that such traits, such instincts, are a beautiful thing - to understand other people, to walk in their shoes, to expand in all places and spread like butter - to melt like ice. I melt looking back at the affairs of the heart. I simmer like sauce in a cooking pan as I extract sensations from all my old memories. I get lost in a daze. My body starts to feel funny - sensitive.

you don't have to be meryl streep

Lights, camera... perfection ! There's a blazing Virgo disposition designing this woman, I'm referring to myself. So, I pretty much like to cruise through life at a more detail-oriented speed, to say the very least. As for my celestial jalopy with a set of wheels that keep on turning, I prefer to be in the driver seat at all times. I like to be in control, so if life really is a highway, then I'm definitely going my way too. And while on the road heading toward some unmarked destiny while driving much too fast and going my way, I violently collide with "mac trucks" as karma bites me in my ass for being such a control freak. I then watch my whole life flash before my eyes as though a near-death experience has just occurred, as though I'm a film star in an amazing near-death scene! On that note, maybe I'm a drama queen too, or maybe I'm just another actress acting like I'm "in control". Flashing. Flashing. Flashing back......

one love

Photo taken of Anne-Marie Pauley on the set of her "One Love" music video in 2009. Music Video, Song & Lyrics written by Anne-Marie Pauley Copyright 2009. AM's "One Love" music video: Are you like a stone? Are you a riddle in a poem? Are you that voice in my head? Are you the drop when I fall off the edge? I want to be an angel. I want to walk on the sea. So why do some people seem so unable to love without judging me? What happened to one love? What happened to love thy neighbor? I've got so many questions It's kinda funny 'cause there's always somebody with all of the answers Making me wrong. Will I go to Heaven? Have I been good? Should I be better? Well...I do no one thing, we may be different...but we're still the same. And what happened to one love? What happened to love thy neighbor? Compassion is what we need. Learn to be free... What happened to one love? What happened to love thy neighbor? ...

how beautiful you are

Photo by Anne-Marie Pauley I've written this blog and dedicated it to all who read it. May it help you. "Discover your beauty within, then never forget it. Because, no one can truly hurt you when you know how beautiful you are." ~Me...over a 2nd cup of coffee, morning bliss and a little funkiness of emotion. After being kindly reminded by silence, spirit, emotions taming and freshly brewed caffeine, I affirmed to myself: I am beautiful! And by-golly...people like me! Well, most people. ;) This is an amazing affirmation/pep-talk to tune into first thing each day. I wish you the same self-induced uplift. May no amount of failure or struggle with another person derail your life train from off it's tracks. Without our tracks there is nowhere for us to go, so we must stay on track. It's our only hope, and hope is everything. Failure and struggle is merely a part of the journey onward. It's just a ride some soothsayers have been kno...
