Twilight Soundtracked My Teen Angst
If there was a poster child for teen angst in the late 2000s and early 2010s, it would have been Twilight. If Harry Potter was the defining era of my childhood, Twilight was the defining era of my adolescence. From 2008 to 2012, the films had a hold on tweens and teens everywhere, whether they loved the saga or loved to hate it. And I was a part of the first group.

Life's Melodies
My grandmother insisted I start piano lessons when I was six. I studied for ten years but it wasn’t my thing. I’m a writer and a vocalist. My husband is a musician as well as my son. Music is a language on a subterranean level. I have a bunch of playlists. One for summer, one for the shower, one for encouragement, old school, stuff I love right now, other random compilations…I have a collection of vinyl that includes 45s and so many compact discs. I still have my iPod. It’s the one with the wheel and it no longer works but I loved it and can’t bear to let it go.

Broadway: Where My Life Happens
Thespian acting and musicals on the stage have always enamored me. Natural, living humans act out memorable roles to take us to faraway places while connecting the in-depth emotions of the characters through the surreal tendrils of music. I love all music, and my collection is eclectic. But in the fullness of life, musicals are where my heart resides by the invitation of writers, actors, composers, and theater venues. Broadway creations are timeless and will exist long after I am gone from this world. This is my limited Playlist of Broadway music interwoven into the critical moments of my life.

An Elebration: A Playlist for my Daughter
We found out I was pregnant with my daughter Eleanor on February 1, 2020, and just a few weeks later, the world shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic. My husband, Sean, was furloughed from his job at a commercial real estate firm (later to be laid off two months before my due date), and my job as a paralegal switched to a remote position. While working from home while dealing with severe first trimester illness was a blessing, our lives felt truly uncertain. Did I mention we were also trying to buy our first house? 2020 was a doozy of a year for our household--and it wouldn't calm down after my daughter was born.

A Legacy of Musical Souls
INTRODUCTION My earliest memory in life is the sound of my mother's voice singing "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean", which you can hear done well by clicking the link below. It doesn't capture that maternal warmth my mother had, but it is a beautiful rendition of the song.
