The Words I Would Say

I CANNOT believe I haven't done this song yet especially because my amazing friend, and one of my besties, Stephanie dedicated it to me a while back. What was I thinking not putting it on here until now?!? Sheesh. Thanks dear friend for two things:
1) Dedicating it to me in the first place because you heard my heart and you know me. I'm so grateful for you.
2) Reminding me to listen to it again and put it on the experiment!! :)
So this song is well, simply put, the BEST! Stephanie claims to sing it a lot and I remember now why after listening to it again. What a great song of encouragement and affirmation to give to the people in your life. What a great song to sing to yourself, reminding yourself of God's belief in you. See, God believes in us. Ephesians 2:10, among other verses, back this up.
Sidewalk Prophets have a great sound. Very easy to listen to and they put out a great message. On the particular radio station I listen to (which is a Christian one - WAYFM for those of you now curious) I haven't heard much, if any, of their music but I think I'll be sending an email and inquiring as to why they don't play Sidewalk Prophets!
Have you heard a friend or spouses hurt lately? What would you say to them?

The Words I Would Say

P.S. Stephanie...back at you! These are the words I also would say to you dear one! ;)

Butter someone up

There are two probable origins for this idiom and I think both are equally plausible. The first one is that when you spread butter on bread you are buttering it up like one would do when trying to flatter someone. The second is in ancient India there was a practice of throwing balls of butter at statues to ask for favor, i.e. buttering them up. ( source ) When we use the phrase today we generally mean that extreme flattery is used to gain information or favor. It's not always necessarily a compliment.

A dime a dozen

"It's said that in the year 1796, the first U.S. dimes were produced for circulation. Hence, it would make sense for this phrase to originate sometime after." Read more here . Today the phrase carries the meaning that something is cheap or without value if it can be lumped in with other similar or exactly-like things. It's more of an insult than anything.

Life according to van Gogh...sort of

There are two ways of thinking about painting, how not to do it and how to do it; how to do it -- with much drawing and little color; how not to do it -- with much color and little drawing. Vincent van Gogh in a l etter to Theo van Gogh, April 1882 Life is a little bit like today's quote from van Gogh. Some of us live life focusing on the drawing - the details - and have very little color. Others of us go for the color and forsake, to a degree, the drawing - the details. Unlike painting, according to van Gogh, one is not wrong over the other but somewhere in between the two would be the best I would think. If you look at some of van Gogh's paintings I feel like you can see where he might have struggled between the "how to do it" and the " how not to do it" (as he admittedly loved color so much but knew he had to focus more on the drawing) and that seems to be reflected in his life as well. In the end he wasn't able to find the ...
