ORIGINAL SONG: THE FLOOD

Click here: m.facebook.com/story.php

Click the link above to hear an original song I wrote called “The Flood”. A song about Addiction & pain; recovery and redemption. ♥️

This is an original song I wrote called “The Flood”, and it’s a song about struggling with addiction, but it’s dedicated to an unnamed gay friend of mine at Redbubble; He’s a phenomenal artist who shared a photo of himself holding a Bible in front of a Church in full drag, in the rain- mascara running down his face- lipstick all smudged; I found him incredibly beautiful. What a powerful image! I dedicate this song especially to him. Love you guys. ♥️

Lyrics:

“The Flood”

Standing, in the water

And your knees are, covered by the flood

Covered by the flood

Dancing, pitter patter, noise & noise & words

Falling down in idle chatter

Open up your mouth

And drink in the rain

Drink in the rain

And doesn’t it break your heart?

Doesn’t it make you cry?

Doesn’t it make you glad?

Turn the tears to wine

It doesn’t make you bad

For drinking in the rain

Don’t know what to do

With so much pain

I ate the guts out of a dirty potato

And now I’m feeling better, better, better, ooh


Church & a Funeral

God has been working in BIG ways in my life. I saw this beautiful chandelier at the funeral (church)- 2 churches in one day- that’s a record for me, to put it mildly. I couldn’t stop staring at it!


Coffee

…one of the most important things at an evening AA meeting. Although I never identified as a full-blown alcoholic, my life has been profoundly impacted by alcoholic loved ones, and I almost got taken by it in my younger years. I go today for preventative measures, and I’ve found my TRIBE. I absolutely love my people. ♥️

New Lifestyle Makeover

1200 calories per day will help me drop 60 lbs. by Christmas. I don’t believe in “diets”, because most people gain the weight back after it’s over, but I do believe in lifestyle makeovers, which include eating healthy foods and integrating intermittent exercise throughout the day. Cutting out unnecessary salt, unhealthy fats, and unhealthy sugars also flushes out excess water gain from the body. Here’s to my new (healthier) lifestyle. ♥️
