<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<  One of my Senior pictures, Class of '95, Nowata High School.  We were the Ironmen.  Football games, pep rallies, crazy times during open campus lunches, Chinese fire drills, cruising Main, parking at the old Sonic, sneaky waves at our crushes with just 1 finger raised in a casual "hello..."  :-)   My friend Chasity Facebooked me this picture while she was dying of a brain tumor.  She died a few months after sending this to me.  Chasity is SO very missed, along with several others:  Ryan Green (whom I had a HUGE crush on back then), Alicia Williams, Troy Liston.  Gone but never forgotten, friends.

    My name is Elizabeth, and I come bearing gifts.  I have a story to tell, you see.  Several stories, really.  I joke that writing is cheaper than therapy, and it is true that writing has been life-changing for me in so many ways. 

    I want you to feel free to click the YouTube arrow to play the music while you're indulging yourself here.  Go ahead, put it on loop for the time it takes you to read the entire passage.  I promise, you won't be sorry.  Why, I listen on loop as I write these memories, these scenarios, these monumental lessons of my life.  You know, so I can feel the music inside of me.  It is my belief that we, all of us, have memories linked to the things we love most:  Beauty, Food, Scent, Touch, and Sound. 


    ​With this blog, it is my intention to honor those memories through the five senses.  We will explore together a little bit of art, food, smelly-goods, tactile pleasures, and melodies that take us allllll back, all the way back.  I invite you to come along for the drive, so to speak, because I have lots to talk about.  And of course, as someone who wants to be your friend, I want to know how you feel, too, because in kindergarten we learned that this is how a friendship works...give and take.  Are you with me?  

     Alrighty then.  Let's Do This!
