New Life, New Joy

"Ribbons Undone" - Tori Amos

Tori travelled a long and at times, unsure path when it came to having children. But through her loss and grief, she found strength to keep on moving forward in a direction she knew will eventually turn for the better.

I see the same strength and courage in my older sister. It almost seemed certain that motherhood may not be in her future, but she too felt the need to keep trying.

I wanted to take some time to write about a special little someone who entered this big world on the morning of March 11th. She came in such a tiny package weighing a little over 6 pounds, but carrying with her the greatest gift of all: new life.

Welcome Miss Amaya Janae, my older sister's precious daughter.

My adorable little niece and the first baby girl in our immediate family. I just wanted to dedicate this song to my beautiful Ate and her angelic miracle. I love you both with all the power I have to love. I look forward to each day ahead. I look forward to watching her grow...with ribbons undone.

Lyrics:

She's a girl
Rising from a shell
Running to spring
It is her time it is her time
Watch her run with ribbons undone

She's a rose in a lily's cloak
She can hide her charms
It is her right there will be time
To chase the sun with ribbons undone

She runs like a fire does
Just picking up daises
Comes in for a landing
A pure flash of lightening
Past alice blue blossoms
You follow her laughter
And then she'll surprise you
Arms filled with lavender

Yes my little pony is growing up fast
She corrects me and says"You mean a thoroughbred"
A look in her eyes says the battle's beginning
From school she comes home and cries
I don't want to grow up Mom at least not tonight

You're a girl
Rising from a shell
Running through spring
With summer's hand in reach now

It is your time
It is your time
So just run with ribbons undone

It is your time yes my angel
It is your time
So just run with ribbons undone
Run run darlin'
Ribbons undone

Welcome to People

Songs TBA Last night, I saw a special, private screening courtesy of the Screening Exchange called, "Welcome to People" directed by Alex Kurtzman. I loved it and it wasn't something that I thought I'd love. In fact, I almost changed my mind at the last minute when I saw that familiar long line down the steps at Arclight Paseo. I figured, "Hell it's just another movie." But I'm so glad I didn't turn around. I'm glad I stood in the back of the line, got my hand stamped and cell phone taken away for nearly 3-hours in order to be in a room filled with strangers. I just wish I had something with me to write down the great songs I heard that disappeared by the time I logged onto this blog. It makes me appreciate technology...so check it out when it comes out. I'll make sure I have my cell phone handy the next time I see it so I can grab some songs along the way. Oh, I'm Hannah, not Frankie and let me know what you think.

Love Is Not Blind

"Colorblind" - Counting Crows I originally had a Dave Matthews Band song in my head, but like always I'm bending the rules a little bit and going with what's in my heart. After all, I couldn't follow my last blog with something you didn't like, could I? That just wouldn't fit and this seems to do just that. This song reminds me of the movie Cruel Intentions . It's hard not to think of it. Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe's chemistry was so strong, especially in their steamy love scene with this song playing in the background, that any other memory pales in comparison. I always thought the lyrics were so simple and romantic, but it became even clearer here. There was no doubt about it. I knew instantly that they were a real life couple even before they announced it. Love is obvious. Acting can never really be this good unless two people have genuine feelings for each. Look at Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams in The Notebook and Angelina Jolie ...
