post a comment | posted Jul 23
This is the year of TLC for TLC. In other words, I've been trying to get my crap together so that I can be the best version of myself for God, others, and myself. My New Year's Resolutions were:

By Comparison
1 comment | posted Jul 20
People often comment on how NYC has the most beautiful people in the world (and yes, we do), but here's something to remember: while some people are naturally beautiful, others spend small fortunes to look that way. Not just on plastic surgery, bu...
Cooking Up Some Awesome
post a comment | posted Jul 15
Some of you may not know this, but I studied cooking at one point. I was so passionate about it then, but I haven't really gotten to do it much since I started touring. These days, even though my schedule has slowed, I live in an apartment with a ...

Practicing What I Preach
post a comment | posted Jun 24
For a while, I've been practicing not looking at men. I don't mean "looking" at them - I mean looooooking at them. I even exchanged my primary crush on the bald beauty of Bruce Willis for the striking stature of the Chrysler Building.

Plight of the Single Man - Part 2
post a comment | posted Jun 24
(Continued from yesterday's post)
