A Fan Too Late, My Heart Breaks

A few weeks ago I reviewed Joey and Rory's final album together entitled Hymns that are Important to Us. I've been praying for Joey, one of healing. I was heartbroken to read that she has said her goodbyes to her loved ones and has fallen into a deep sleep. I can't imagine how hard this must be for all of them though it seems she has made peace and has accepted Jesus's Hand to return home. I just became a fan not too long ago after reviewing their album hence why I titled this post "A Fan Too Late." Her bravery is in her unfailing faith.
We have lost many to cancer both personal losses as well as losses in the Hollywood community. When I think back of all the greats we lost this year to cancer, the emotions become overwhelming. I lost my friend Theresa Sudik to cancer in February 2012. At the time I found out she passed, I didn't even know she was sick. There's not a day that goes by that I don't think of her. This is why events like Relay for Life are so important. We want to see a cure for this disease.
Tonight I lift up prayers of comfort, healing, and love to Lord Jesus for Joey and her family. As she is about to leave our world behind, I know that she will be in God's loving arms. I wish there were a different ending so that she could spend more time with her family but I wish that for all who suffered and suffers from this horrible disease.
I am praying for you Joey, that you suffer no more and I pray for God to comfort your loved ones. My heart goes out to all of you.

Music Review: Jerad Finck Criminal EP

Image
Artist: Jerad Finck Criminal EP The first review for Jerad was the "Criminal" single. This review for the "Criminal" EP. Before I get into the review I want to define what an EP is for those that don't know. An EP stands for extended play. It contains additional tracks than the single but the track list is too short to be considered a full album. It's like a sneak peek into the artist's potential full album, a teaser if you will. Now onto the review. I was ecstatic after listening to Criminal  that when my boyfriend, Jeff returned from work I made him sit down and watch the video with me (my 20th time watching it that night, his first). I started playing the EP this morning and he immediately joined me in the living room asking me, "Is this the guy you're reviewing?" I said "Yes" and with that Jerad gains another fan. Jeff loves the music. This is what I love about music like this. It brings people together and infectious. T

Music Review Single: Leslie Becker "Slow Burn"

Image
Artist: Leslie Becker Single: Slow Burn In the beginning of this video we see Leslie walking down the street at night looking classy and ready for some fun. This song and the video reminds me a lot of the opening credits to a James Bond film. The song as well sounds like the next title track to the next James Bond film. It's hot, sultry and Leslie's voice is hypnotizing. What I like about the song is how the woman is in control. You see the men looking at her and she decides whether they get her attention or not. It's interesting because within the song and video there is a tease of mystery. She's not putting herself completely out there. This is apparent even through her vocals. It's like a "come and get me" but she decides when it goes further. I love how she sings, "I'm worth the wait" because it's an empowering statement. She knows her worth. The "slow burn" is the excitement building up to that incredible firework fee

Movie Review: Falling for Christmas

  Falling for Christmas Starring Lindsay Lohan, Chord Overstreet, and Jack Wagner She's back! First I want to say that I have always been a fan of Lindsay Lohan since "Parent Trap" and I am so happy to see her back on screen. Lindsay stars as Sierra Belmont, a rich heiress who proves that there is more to her than fancy designer clothes and daddy's money.  When I first heard the synopsis, I thought it was another version of "Overboard" originally starring Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell but I was wrong. It has its own rustic charm with its theme of family, tradition, and memorable keepsakes. We learn early on that Sierra lost her mother when she was very young and the snowglobe her mother treasured was the link to her memories of her mother. She clearly has a close relationship with her father (Jack Wagner) who is anything but a pushover parent. He's supportive, caring, and wanting only the best for his daughter.  Her desire to not want the position of vice
