What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others and the world remains and is immortal.

Grasshoppers, Crickets, and Katydids, Oh My!!!
Such a wonderful trip!! The IP truly was a Palace fit for two Queens!!!
What a better way to start the trip than to see Melissa and her larger than life presence. It was an awesome show me and my two favorite girls!!
I am counting the days until we go back to New Orleans!!! What an incredible place, so rich with history and amazing food. I think the next time I go back to Bourbon Street I'll need to have a few Bourbon's first (maybe that's why they call it that). Can you say OVER STIMULATING!!! Amazing music though!!! From Aretha Franklin style bar singers to men playing 5 gallon bait buckets on the sidewalk, it's rocking!! I can see why you find it so intriguing Jac!!
The food was FABULOUS!!! We had Seafood Gumbo, Crawfish Etouffee, and Fried Oysters mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
In New Orleans they put some SERIOUS seafood in their Gumbo!!
No trip to the Big Easy would be complete without Beignets and Cafe' Au Lait at Cafe Du Monde.

Someone to Find Me
Have you ever lost someone
in a big department store or theme park
You venture out and look around occasionally
but you always keep coming back to the last place you saw them
in hopes that the person will return and find you waiting there
Paralyzed by the thought of moving too far away from that place
fearful of never being found as you wait
I lost someone, over a year ago
and I have been returning to the same figurative place
over and over, just in case they wanted to come back and find me
I've been afraid to move too far away from this place
afraid to live, afraid to love or to let myself experience love
Terrified to do anything, say anything, be anything
that may make me different somehow
so they may not be able to, or even want to find me again
I have realized now, that in this process of waiting
and returning to this place time and time again
I have come to depend on myself for solace
I have faced my emotions and fears head on
I am stronger, whole and capable of wandering away from this place
As I walk away, and turn to look back one last time
I realize that the person who most needed to find me
Was
Me

Already Gone
Just remember this, my girl, when you look up in the sky
You can see the stars and still not see the light
