Once upon a time, we were all flower children with dreams… picking flowers, running through the wilderness, in awe of life’s wonders. We get older, we try to survive, sometimes our light dims and we can’t as easily see the vivid beauty around us.

[Shiretown @shiretownband]

She is the portal from whence you came. She grew you from stardust. She delivered you to this symphony of water, trees and zephyr winds just to see you dance. Make sure you dance.

Seriously? Summer of ‘69 is beating out Heart of Gold? I get the nostalgia factor but we’re talking about arguably Neil’s most timeless classic. @Neilyoung for the win 💛

@RonSexsmith Just don’t cause a conniption fit!

I’ve written a 3-part story about my journey with #eczema, attempting to distill some lessons from a 4-year struggle with extreme flareups. If you live with a skin condition or any #chronicillness, I’d love to know if/how it resonates!

What if I told you that as a woman with a naturally curly/wavy/wild hair pattern, I am totally uninterested in doing 273967 intense steps of esoteric hair care in order to attempt to coax my hair into completely perfect, frizz free ringlet curls?

Like. Not all curly hair is THAT KIND of curly hair. Some of us have tight curls in some spots and wild waves in other spots and I am too old and too tired not to just love it the way it is.

It’s okay to have hair that’s just like a really moody bff. A little frizz never killed anyone.

Wild, frizzy hair can hold flowers, too 😌✨

I've started a blog to document my experiences with #eczema and explore questions & answers related to the skin condition. I have been #livingwitheczema for nearly 40 years and hope that my journey may help others who are struggling. @eczematopics

This was tough but I voted for @jannarden. “Insensitive” as a song is simply perfect in every way.

@countmoshington @22_Minutes @shiretownband @DollyParton Yes! This groundbreaking news made me tumble out of bed (and stumble to the kitchen).

[Betsy MacDonald @Betsy_MacD]

Heck yes! We're here for a @BlueRodeo time!
