Working My Way…

A Blog about life and living through my life experience and perspective. I am a writer, singer/songwriter childhood savant musician...Trying to find my niche and stake my place in society...
I created this video with the help of my kiddo! Hand a talented kid your phone with the CapCut app and this is what you get 🤣😘


Zoe’s Carrot Cake Was A Showstopper !
The music is my cover rendition of, Great Gig In The Sky. Written by Pink Floyd. I added a few effects. My wind chimes and the birds in my yard!
Zoe’s Cake Was A Show Stopper- https://youtu.be/fbVeJQ_Ico8 – Here is the YouTube link to the video I posted of our Easter Feast. My daughter made a beautiful carrot cake worthy of oohs and ahhhs! Deliciously creamy and moist with a light whipped cream cheese frosting. Amazing ❤️!


My daughter Delcee made the green beans and Mac and cheese. I made ham, yams, mashed potatoes, glazed carrots, banana bread, orange jello with mandarin oranges, deviled eggs and crescent rolls.
I love cooking for holiday get togethers. My kids always bring their homemade goodies as well.

I’ve gotta say that I absolutely adore my pet daughters. All girls in the house. Charlotte, my baby kitty, has just turned a year old. She is the sweetest cat I’ve had in many years. Something about black cats just charms my heart❤️. The opposite of bad luck 🐈⬛! I put this video together for my TikTok channel. I also uploaded it to YouTube shorts. It has gotten a ton of views and likes. I wish I was as successful with my music videos… The music in this video is from a cheesy sappy song from the 70’s. It works well here because animal affection is pretty sappy!


I’m still trying to find a musical niche somewhere in this world. I’ll settle for putting slideshows together. Audio/Video Scrapbooking. I suppose it’s my form of artistic expression❤️. By the way, I created a few years ago. I like it! I’m kind of proud of it in fact.

I put together a couple of videos using some cover tracks that I made. I’ve decided that putting my home videos and photos with my music is a better way of capturing the essence. Sometimes I tell a story within my videos. I call it audio/video scrapbooking. I’ve posted these videos on my YouTube channel as well as TikTok and my Music Facebook page.
I’m thinking if the general public is somewhat interested then my kids and grandkids will be one day. If not now, than maybe after I’ve left the planet? They are all the stars in my videos. I’ve really enjoyed putting videos together of my life and our get togethers! I know that my son in laws have given me so much sh*! Especially in my early years of putting myself out there on YouTube. I have been the joke of the decade! The razzing turned into a deeply wounding, soul crushing embarrassment. It hasn’t stopped me though from putting myself out there and dreaming. The humbling has been deeply felt and embedded in my relationships with them.
I heard all about how people doing silly and ridiculous things on YouTube were making them a ton of money. While of course this Gram of 8, was putting herself out there musically for free. My savant like oddity of no real interest. I can tell you this, I have so enjoyed the gift! Playing and feeling a spiritual connection has been absolutely amazing. Between me and my maker, it has been the most personal fulfilling experience of my life❤️.
Having recently found out that both of my parents were deeply rooted in musical theater, it all makes sense. The DNA explains my desire to perform music! We are all here to explore our talents and special gifts. I truly believe that DNA has a lot to do with our interests and individuality.
Anyway, here are a few new links to check out.

I hope you enjoy my videos. They are authentic and near and dear to me.
I hope you are all enjoying whatever makes your heart sing! Find that creative outlet that frees you and defines your spirit! That’s ultimately what we are here for since none of us get to leave the planet with monetary things. We take with us those things within our spirit that define our souls!

A visit with my biological father whom I found about 18 months ago. He actually died on the day that I gave birth my last child, almost 21 years ago. I would have loved knowing him. I’m so very sad that I missed out. I decided that I would however visit his grave since that is my only option. I had a one sided chat with him graveside…

Others who have passed in his family were in that cemetery as well. Lots of them! I spent a little time walking the rows of Brock’s and Aday’s. My grandparents and great grandmother were there as well.

The cemetery was quaint and lovely. A beautiful little place with wandering geese. Absolutely charming. I’m so glad that I was able to finally make a visit there. I suppose it was cathartic and the next thing to closure that I’ll get. I can put this unrest to rest as I have worked through the process of disclosure, yearning and learning information, acceptance and now realization.
