This is a song I produced for the inspirational singer / friend Brigid. When I completed this video, I realized my love for music all over again. Now, I plan to really push my music...so get ready....cause   more...it's going to happen right now!  less

I loved your video girls.. keep them coming!

Got Happy? It is an amazing thing to be happy. But how do you know if your happiness is true? True happiness , as with love, is realized once you can let go of the thing that is the source of your   more...hapiness. If the object of your happiness returns to you, you can experience true joy in knowing that it was meant for you to have this thing that brought about happiness. For two days...I was without my music as my equipment (which is used to process ) was acting up. I was out of my regular sort (didn't know how to act). In that short time...after praying for a miracle (to put it lightly), I began to migrate towards other activities (which was not easy at all). But when I chose to let the music go free for that time...it miraculously came back to me (in the way of my equipment being healed....THANK GOD!!! ;) Hey...I just know that my stuff was working after almost being brought to tears about not having it to produce music. I then realized how "happy" I was to be back in the flow, back in my element, back to doing the thing that brings me passion ~ doing my music. This song is actually what came to my mind during this time. It was intended to be a "happy" song, but for you, let it bring you to happy times in your life (both in times past, as well as the happy times to come). Let this song serve as a reminder that being happy is a choice...a choice that needs to be chosen regardless of if you are dealing with things either within, or beyond your control. Being happy is within your control; choose it freely and wait for it to freely come back to you. It can become the strength you never knew you had....this is another show! We shall talk later! Take care and enjoy my friends. Mel :)  less

Don't you love walking under the "boardwalk?" Don't you just love the fresh cozy air, the friendly, loving people, the rides, the campfires, the ocean, the food, the food and most of all, the   more...food? Lynn and I just happen to go to the coast for our anniversary month (Sept...8 yrs). On the last few roads trips, we have managed to catch a little board walk~time....as we would pass by (on the way back home). Missy can only remember the last few times in her almost seven years of riding along. Although Missy's attendance has changed the nature of our road trips from "Lynn and I" time, to "okay...it's all of us now" time, she has only added to the total enjoyment of getting away...and getting out there! There is something about the boardwalk that she plugs into; between all of the things to see, taste, and do, Missy becomes an aesthetic sponge and soaks it all up with eyes wide open! It is so hard to explain...you really have to just be there with her to experience the crazy fun she brings. It will turn you all into big kids guaranteed. Missy is the official owner of the boardwalk venues. She OWNS the board walk. She loves everything about it...and loves being in the midst of all the friendly people. This song came to me as I sat and thought about how Missy's soul was left...back at the place that I now consider "Missy's Boardwalk!" Please enjoy my friends!

This is the story of a wonderful Birch tree that had become old. It was dried up and dead looking as well. Lynn and Missy were ashamed to even get caught looking at it. This tree had to go....in order   more...to make room for the new tree.....what a sacrifice. Are you that willing to sacrifice everything, or anything you know and love for the sake of another? You don't hear about that anymore. Gone are the days when real people knew what sacrifice meant...and was still willing to do it for the greater good of another. Gone are those days.  less

Another fav

In His House Are Many Mansions...all His gifts are your inheritance...because you and The Father are one!



Some of the mansions in a local area. I hope to go to a place some day..."Of Many Mansions!"   more...

I found some shoes today!!!!

This is a clearer version. Now that I have upgraded, I can move bigger files....thank God!

This video was too big....so it had to be uploaded in poor quality. It's quality, or quanity.

I have always loved this song. It seems especially true for today....I can feel something is brewing up in the air....and the wind will blow out the old and usher in the new. I have to have the faith   more...to believe that. Wow!  less

Some pics of my little girl!!!!

Exactly that!!!

Continuing

This is part of a nature series I will be doing. enjoy!!!!

It's a long story!!!!!! based on a true event.

Just being crazy

We had a lot of fun making this one. But sheesh! All the gas it took to get to all these different shooting locations....but you guys are worth it! We knew we would be seeing you guys again. Bottom line...anything   more...for a friend, i.e., a prayer, a hug, money (not too much though...Lol), or just some love and support, we find ourselfscoming over there and meeting the need"Time After Time." Hey...we have been blessed greatly...so to much is given, much is required. We know that to be true and are use to it. :)
"Time after Time" was a single by singer Cyndi Lauper, the second from her She's So Unusual album, and it reached #1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 charts on June 9, 1984. The song was at #1 for two weeks and to date is her second highest charting and most commercially successful single worldwide after "Girls Just Want to Have Fun," also reaching #3 on the UK Singles Chart and #6 on the ARIA Singles Chart.

"Time after Time" was nominated for "Song of the Year" at the 1985 Grammy Awards. The ballad is considered a classic of the 1980s and is still played frequently on adult contemporary radio.

You guys already know that I consider it a gift to express myself in this way...and to have a connection with you guys in return. You have heard me go on about this whole means of communication being   more...a creative outlet, one which hasn't been this inspiring in years for me. You know I look for the higher meaning in every feeling I become inspired to express. In one way, or another, I have communicated these thoughts to you. You know I am eternally thankful and grateful to you guys. However, there is one area I didn't see coming. I wasn't prepared in anyway for this unexpected blessing (you know that some of the best things in life are the unexpected. For the thing I am attempting to explain to you...I can never repay you for (Sheesh! I am almost getting misty in the eyes just thinking about this). I am soooo moved by how you people have embraced my daughter's efforts to participate in this thing I am referring to as my "creative expression." I just accidentally ran her across my camera...and hence, this computer screen only to have you, my circle of friends, embrace her with love and support. Trust me...she hears and receives every one of your constructive, or complementary comments. It was these comments that pulled her towards buying in on the her road to creative expressiveness. Not only that...some of you have adopted Missy as part of the community and have helped protected her from any negative, or otherwise harmful people / factors that go hand in hand with the web. As a result, Missy looks forward to choreographing her own moves for her daddy's songs. I can't tell you how full my heart is to know that. I can't tell you of the joy I have from seeing her excitement to dance and perform (for Live Video). I can see that this expressive time she and I share will fast become a tradition / legacy of ours. This quality time we have in our productions would not exsist if you guys weren't there for us to upload it for. It's late right now...and I can't seem to say everything that needs to be said right now, but just know; you guys are just a bunch of great people; people that I choose to surround my family and me with. You are our family as well. This song is our way of saying thanks! Please know that we thank all of you and love you very much!
