"Haven's Happenstance: The Party Series or What's...
Hello my Tumblr friends - sorry I have been MIA. I arrived to London for work, went on a little escapade and I am now refueled and filled-a-plenty with some feel-good good-feeling ‘something, something,’- and that’s about all you’re gettin ;D. BUT, if you know me and know what I write about here at HavenStory, well I think you can venture to say: I am happy for now. And the...

The Journey
In a lacking moment of brilliance I threw myself over the perils of longing ignoring my instincts acknowledging my foolishness relentlessly moving forward as only a rebel would I fell hard To my astonishment my soul proved to be stronger than any part of my body my brain was shattered to pieces, but who needed it anyway? for it was my heart that protected me along the way I laughed...

"Haven's Happenstance: The Music That's Makin Me...
I’m about to travel for a month to #Europe and I am beyond elated. I was pretty down this past week, and I gave myself a pep talk, 6 countries, 11 cities- a trip that’s been on the bucket list for years, WTF, get on up and out of this funk. And so I did, but what helped too was the music with which I surrounded myself.
And so because music has the power to change our mood, lift our...

"Haven's Happenstance: The Soothing Oldies Series"
I was about to start a series on fun, party songs…. but, who am I kidding: I am depressed. LOVE-STARVED. Sad. Down in the dumps. Drained. But, I try not to bring you sad songs. There are no sad songs, really, only the way we feel when we seek certain songs to soothe our soul. And so I bring you “The Soothing Oldies Series,” because for me every time I hear a good diddy from the...

To write it all away
Ever feel so sad your whole face just feels pulled down? Your gaze too heavy and somber to look up or to bear eye contact with anyone who at first glance you know you will just break down? Yeah. I’m having a bad night : (. I want to write. Write it all out. Write and write and write it away. There’s so much that I want to say. To get out, document, record and finally put...

Silhouettes Of A Man
Misery pills, did you take them today? Do you feel anything? Do you hear me? … Do I… exist? Do I for you live? Do you for them a tortured life lead? Where is she, your savior? Where is she, your failure? And you blame her? Yes, you blame her....

"Haven’s Happenstance: The Storyteller Series"
This week I profile songs that tell stories — stories of love, death, crime, luck. What does this have to do with love, which I normally write about, you ask? Well, everything: The quickest way to my heart is through a good story. I love to tell stories (and am lucky that I get to do so as part of my job.) But, more than anything I love to hear a good story told.
Something magical happens...
