Music Monday

Monday comes too quickly, but maybe a little music will help make it brighter! Here are two songs I'm fawning over this week:

"It's Time" by Imagine Dragons
I heard this song during the trailer for the movie The Perks of Being a Wallflower  (which looks fabulous!) and immediately fell in love with it.
"With or Without You" by Vitamin String Quartet 
"With or Without You" is one of my favorite U2 songs, and I was so excited to find this version done by the Vitamin String Quartet. It would...

Six Sentence Sunday - EDGE OF THE PAST

Today is Six Sentence Sunday, where both published and non-published writers share six sentences from their work. I'm sharing six lines from my WIP, the sequel to LIFE ON THE EDGE. Working title is EDGE OF THE PAST, and the snippet has Emily doing a little reminiscing . . .

As I watched the show, I remembered the day Sergei had showed Chris and me his choreography inspired by the episode. I loved his work and the emotion he put into it, and I’d shared my admiration wit...

Music Monday

Need a little pick-me-up to start the week? Take a break and listen to some tunes on Music Monday! After watching the gymnastics and swimming Olympic Trials all week, I've been in the mood for songs that would fit well with Olympic montages. Here are a couple of them in my rotation:
"Kings and Queens" by 30 Seconds to Mars

"Ours" by The Bravery
What songs are you loving this week? Have a great Monday!

Fabulous Blog Award!

Thanks so much to Jaycee Delorenzo for giving me this lovely award!

Name five of your most fabulous moments, either in real life or in the blogosphere:

1. The day LIFE ON THE EDGE was published. Seeing it on Amazon was surreal!

2. Graduating at the top of my business school class at Tulane.

3. Attending my first skating event, the 2001 U.S. Figure Skating Championships in Boston. I sat in awe of how shiny the costumes were in person and how electric the atmosphere was. The entire experi...

Music Monday

Welcome to another edition of Music Monday! There are two songs I'm spotlighting this week:

"The Face" by Kings of Leon
I love everything about this song, especially the beat. And lead singer Caleb Followill has one of those distinctive voices that meshes with the beat and makes the song one big powerful hit of awesomeness.
"Parting Words" (from the LOST soundtrack) by Michael Giacchino
This was another piece I discovered through the Young Artists Showcase. I was looking for other videos of Garre...

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Blog Hop!

Welcome to the Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Blog Hop, hosted by  Jaycee DeLorenzo  and  Victoria Smith . You might remember my  Oh My Hero! Blog Hop  post a few months ago, where I interviewed my swoon-worthy hero Sergei from LIFE ON THE EDGE . Well, the girls from EDGE want a chance in the spotlight, too!
Emily is a nineteen-year-old figure skater from Brookline, Massachusetts. She moved to Cape Cod two years ago to learn pairs, and while achieving success on the ice with her p...

Music Monday

Hi there! Since my blog has a shiny new look (courtesy of  IM Designs ), I thought I'd start a new posting schedule. First up is Music Monday! I love all kinds of music and am always looking for new artists and new inspiration for my writing. Every Monday, I'll post my current song obsessions, and I want you to share yours, too! This week, there are two songs I've been listening to on repeat:

"Rainy Zurich" by The Fray
I'm a huge fan of The Fray, and this song from their latest album, Scars...

Introducing Team Novi

The dust is starting to settle a bit after the big shake-up in Canton, Michigan, where the world's most successful coaching duo, Igor Shpilband and Marina Zueva, parted ways in a publicly messy split. Igor has found a new coaching home at the Novi Ice Arena in Novi, Michigan, and he's taken some teams from Canton with him.

Madison Chock and Evan Bates, fifth-place finishers at the 2012 U.S. Figure Skating Championships, were the first team to announce their departure from Canton. Last season w...

Team Canton - Thanks for the Memories

On the heels of the shocking news that uber-successful ice dance coach Igor Shpilband was fired from the Arctic Edge rink in Canton, Michigan, I thought it appropriate to take a moment and reflect on the greatness that has been Team Canton for the past decade.

With the apparent split of Igor and his coaching partner Marina Zoueva, it appears Team Canton is in a state of flux. What remains to be seen is whether some of the teams will also leave the rink and follow Igor to his new home, whe...

Stylish Blogger Award!

When I saw I was tagged for this award, I wasn't sure at first what it meant since this is my first time receiving one of these. Thanks to the fabulous Jaycee DeLorenzo for passing it on to me!

For this award, I have to share the last time I dressed up. I really had to think about this because rarely do I dress up outside of work. I'm all about keeping it casual! I guess the last time I dressed up was for mass on Easter Sunday. My friend and I joked once that we should get all tiffed...
