Timeless Tunes

Is there a time limit when a good song stops being good because of its age? Absolutely not!

Many times you will find me sharing music as old as my grandmother and even older.

Everything from recent hits like Teddy Swims - Lose Control, to 1920's Swanee by Al Jolson.

Do my song selections in the blog make me too old or too young? Absolutely not!

Music is timeless!

So here's a beautiful oldie for you, Enjoy!

Toy Soldiers

- Martika -

Now, about this song choice wish is a song I like very much, I first discovered Toy Soldiers by

Martika when I was a very young girl, maybe around 16 years old. I was very surprised when I first

listened to it since it had already been around for years and I was just discovering it. I immediately fell

in love with the song and thought Martika was the most precious and coolest creature on the face of the

earth. She became my idol and from that day on I looked up to her as a role model wanting to be just

like her. Then, something wonderful happened. No, I never got to meet my idol, however, my friends

and family, who knew how much I love this artist started saying that I looked like her. I am not really

sure if they really meant it or just wanted to make me happy. However, I believed them.

At the time I had very long hair, still do, most of my life I kept long hair, but after being told over and

over by my loved ones that I looked like Martika, I decided to get her hair cut, like in the video, and I

loved it! I kept the style for a good two years, trimming it as soon as it would grow a little.

Of course, my idolization moved to a new artist over the years, but I never stopped loving Martika's

music. Here's another one of my favorites from her. Have a good night everyone!

Love...Thy Will Be Done

Strangers Again

QUOTE OF THE DAY

“It happens like this.

"One day you meet someone and for some inexplicable reason,

you feel more connected to this stranger than anyone else--

closer to them than your closest family. Perhaps this person carries within them an angel--

one sent to you for some higher purpose;

to teach you an important lesson or to keep you safe during a perilous time.

What you must do is trust in them-- even if they come hand in hand with pain or suffering--

the reason for their presence will become clear in due time."

Though here is a word of warning--

you may grow to love this person but remember they are not yours to keep. 

Their purpose isn't to save you but to show you how to save yourself. 

And once this is fulfilled; the halo lifts and the angel leaves their body as the person exits your life.

They will be a stranger to you once more.

It's so dark right now, I can't see any light around me.

That's because the light is coming from you. You can't see it but everyone else can.”

I'm Gonna Fight 'em Off

"I'm gonna fight 'em off

A seven-nation army couldn't hold me back

They're gonna rip it off

Takin' their time right behind my back

And I'm talkin' to myself at night

Because I can't forget

Back and forth through my mind

Behind a cigarette

And the message comin' from my eyes

Says, "Leave it alone"..."

Seven Nation Army

 - Vintage New Orleans Dirge White Stripes Cover ft. Haley Reinhart -

Hello World!

How is it going so far for you? Only three days into the new year and I am already getting a pretty good

vibe of what is ahead, now, I don't want to jinx it so knock on wood. ;)

I started the day listening to a great Spanish song that my daughter shared with me and it just

lifted my mood to the roof. We danced and laughed so much in the kitchen while I made breakfast

listening to the lyrics, lot of cussing though but I loved it. I'll share it with you later today or tomorrow.

Now, would you believe that I had never tried Chipotle before?

Let it be known that Chipotle and I made history on January 3rd, 2024.

We finally met and spent time together, and now I am in love with their delicious Chipotle Bowls.

But what am I saying, what is all this nonsense that I'm sharing with you?

Well, because my blog keeps becoming more and more like a diary, especially my special moments

with my Steppenwolf...

"Hi baby thinking of you. hope you are having a sweet day! love you your step muazzz!"

That is a text from him today that he sent me right at the same moment I was thinking about him too. ;)

We really have a very strong connection and we can feel each other even when we are apart.

Now, see what I mean when I said the year is starting to look good, just today, I already had

three things that made me smile. ;)

This is all for now my beautiful people.

Wishing you a beautiful rest of the day.

Keep counting all your blessings every day and try not to focus too much on the negatives.

Live your best life ever, every moment, every day!

Much Love,

Lori Novo

"Don't wanna hear about it

Every single one's got a story to tell

Everyone knows about it

From the Queen of England to the Hounds of Hell

And if I catch it comin' back my way

I'm gonna serve it to you

And that ain't what you want to hear

But that's what I'll do

And the feelin' comin' from my bones

Says, "Find a home"

I'm goin' to Wichita

Far from this opera forevermore

I'm gonna work the straw

Make the sweat drip out of every pore

And I'm bleedin', and I'm bleedin', and I'm bleedin'

Right before the Lord

All the words are gonna bleed from me

And I will think no more

And the stains comin' from my blood

Tell me, "Go back home""
