There are so many songs written about California, a person can't help but grow up dreaming about going going back back to a place they've never been. A place filled with golden sunshine, vineyards, and people getting stoned in the hills. One year, I had the opportunity to move to the Pacific Coast. I had a lemon, orange, and peach tree IN MY FRONT YARD. Where I'm from, that doesn't happen. I'm telling you, there's nothing but fruits and nuts out there, growing in everyone's yard.

I’m here every week to give you the scoop on what I think…and hear what you have... CONTINUE READING 12
Angela McCluskey: More Than Commercial Success
This next artist needs no introduction...well, sort of. You may not recognize her name right away, but listen to her songs and you'll realize that she sounds hauntingly familiar.

Monday Motivator: Counting Down!
When we first launched Monday Motivators three weeks ago (time flies!), users Jenny-O and Roxie D both told us that when they have a case of the Mondays, they remind themselves that there’s only four more days of the work week left!
