Sounds of Summer (The Final Entry for 2017): “Waves”
It's a bittersweet night! With autumn officially entering into the picture tomorrow, I decided that this will my last "Sounds of Summer" entry for 2017. It's been a wonderful four months of exploring unique genres and melodies that have inspired not only my creative writing, but also my passion for life. From "Endeavor" to "Resonance," … Continue reading Sounds of Summer (The Final Entry for 2017): “Waves”

Greetings from OKC! It's race weekend for me, and I'm excited to swim, bike, and run my way to another 70.3 Half-Ironman finish line this coming Saturday.

Sounds of Summer: Good Girls
Well, this is a bit different from my usual music choice. If you've been following my "Sounds of Summer" series up to this point, you might be asking, "R-M, you dig modern pop songs?" Yeah, it kinda feels a little too "Top 40" for me. I have my friend Maegan to thank for discovering LANY. … Continue reading Sounds of Summer: Good Girls
Sounds of Summer: Back to You
Pop ballads from the early 2000s. Synthwave songs with just the right layers of haze and analog static. Ambient pieces that blend the choral and classical to a soul-stirring effect. Music means a lot to me, not just as a writer, but as a strongly emotive person. If the same goes for you, then I … Continue reading Sounds of Summer: Back to You
Sounds of Summer: Every Heartbeat is a Flower
Every Heartbeat is a Flower. Think about that. Close your eyes. Wait until you can feel your heartbeat. Do those words ring true for you? This past week, this simple phrase helped me get through some serious transitions while keeping my cool. Even when I was completely exhausted and unsure about my next steps in … Continue reading Sounds of Summer: Every Heartbeat is a Flower

Last Tuesday, I was putt'n around on YouTube when I stumbled across a video for a song … Continue reading Sounds of Summer: Breathe In

Little Breaks and Big Updates
Greetings! I wanted to touch base and give you all a much-deserved update. I have been missing my blog since last week, and I didn't have time to write my latest "Sounds of Summer" entry.
