I am absolutely in love with Big Pink, especially the song "Stay Gold." It's perfect for those moments when you're getting good at talking yourself out of doing what you love because it's tearing you apart. Because you're tired of hearing "no." A time to love, a time to fly And beat the darkness into … Continue reading Rejection Playlist, Volume 1, Track 10: “Stay Gold”
Rejection Playlist Volume 1, Track 9: “I Guess It’s Gonna Rain Today.”
When it rains, it pours (except in Seattle where November-May is more like a light drizzle with a chance of snow). Sometimes everything is going well and you get even more good news. Other days, it's more like you're trapped in a sh*tstorm. For those days I give you Sondre Lerche, one of my friend … Continue reading Rejection Playlist Volume 1, Track 9: “I Guess It’s Gonna Rain Today.”

Rejection Playlist, Volume 1, Track 5: “So Jealous”
I will be the first to admit that I can be a sore loser. I also have a few jealous bones in my body. Sometimes I can't help it. One of my writing partners got awesome news this week and for a few minutes I turned a little green. But she did totally deserve it. … Continue reading Rejection Playlist, Volume 1, Track 5: “So Jealous”
