Why We Love Lovato: Demi Lovato Rocks SNL Performance

After many well wishes follow an auto collision, the recovery of Tracy Morgan was an much anticipated treat to fans of the comedian/actor. Seeing Morgan revisit his home on Saturday night life after having been on the show for about nine years and taking a 11 year hiatus as his career continued to flourish made hearts warm and faces grin. The only thing that added to the elation of fans was the performance of Demi Lovato.
My daughter grew up watching Demi perform on Barney, a family show that featured a giant purple dinosaur that came alive with the help of imaginative children. Selena Gomez also got her start on the show. After Barney, Demi made strides with Disney starring in made for TV films like Camp Rock and Princess Protection Program (alongside Selena Gomez). After a bout in rehab for a variety of issues ranging from cocaine and alcohol use to depression, Lovato faded from the spotlight after establishing a solid role in the homes of many families on her show Sonny With A Chance.
Just when people were starting their "what happened to Demi Lovato?" inquiries, she began dropping one toe tapping single after another until we all seemed to forget that she ever disappeared. Now, with hits like Cool For The Summer, which explores the road of bisexuality with a rocking tempo that paves the way Lovato seems like she is here to stay.
Her performance on SNL only solidified that argument as she commanded the audience with a skilled performance. Lovato came on the scene as a child actress, but now she is a skilled songstress and judging by her hardships, lyrics, and vocal expertise... she's all woman.
Kudos to Demi Lovato!

    I love Demi! She has a strong voice and personality to match. I think that she had a rough way as a lot of child stars do. I wasn't aware of the substance abuse, but know that she had issues with an eating disorder, bulimia I believe. I'm so happy that she's back. She's such a talent! And like Tracy, she shows that with strength and determination, as well the support of family and friends, you can overcome almost anything! Go get em Demi!!!

    I agree. I think that Demi is a great example of what a little perseverance can do. When I did my research for the post I was surprised to hear about the drug abuse as well however, as you mentioned Tai... most child actors do struggle with it. So glad that Demi came back and STRONG at that!

Sign Of The Times: Case of The Serial Texter

I was lying in bed when I heard the familiar chime of an incoming text. Opening one eye, I opened the message to see two letters: GM. Still, in the stupor that slumber often puts you in, I scanned my brain to register the meaning...ah yes...Good Morning. I clumsily keyed in "Hey" and hit the send button. I kept my face deep in my pillow listening for another chime. Nothing. I switched my phone into silent mode and caught another hour of sleep before waking up again. This is a typical day in the life of a serial texter. I text a lot. I text because it's free (on my cell plan). I text because it's convenient. I text because it's a great way to have a conversation without actually having a conversation. But what happens when you actually WANT to speak to the other person with whom you are texting? How do you break the pattern? After months of texting, a phone call may prove to be awkward and break the momentum you built through texting! This has happened

A Love Story

Sometimes he looked at me the way I had always wanted to be looked at. His eyes would fill with a wonder as if I was a beautiful creature he never knew existed. I would often pretend I didn't notice, because I liked to be admired a bit longer. I knew he would break his gaze if I acknowledged it. So I sat and made my best effort to remain natural, refusing to ruin the moment with unnecessary interruption. Other times, I would intentionally turn toward him. I would return his gaze and admire every curve of his face. I would notice the perceived flaws and want to kiss them all. My lips would travel across the map of his face, landing on every location of interest. He would laugh, and distract my lips from their unplanned journey by planting his against my own- keeping them in the destination he chose. I was alway obedient to what he wanted. Knowing that he wanted me was enough and so I did as he directed and I enjoyed heeding his unsaid instructions. I knew when he didn't wa

The Real Thing *Relationships/Dating*

I love Marvin Gaye. I love how he croons along with Tammi Terrell about having the "Real Thing". If you have followed my blog over the years, you have seen me get separated, divorced, and hit the dating scene. Its been a long road. There was a time that I was dating just to get my feet wet. I just wanted to get into the habit of conversing and entertaining men in a way that I hadn't due to the confines of marriage. I just wanted to be single again. Eventually I came to want more. I wanted to have something...real. I am not a traditional woman. If I didn't have children I would likely never be married and I would be totally fine with living in a separate home from my significant other and connecting when we wanted to connect and maintaining space all other times. However, I have children...and my lifestyle preferences are not a priority. I am more interested in setting an example and foundation for my girls. So here I am, dating with a purpose. I have been on POF,
