Listening to such meaningful podcasts lately...that I am at ease inside myself, content, positive, inspired, doing things that build myself up and fill my bucket of self esteem, write, run, play the guitar....what builds you up? #selflove #selfesteem #confidenceboost

Playing music with bandmates from Silverwing always brings back great memories of being on stage with Mel. He could rip a smokin' guitar lead with his eyes closed! #musicians #rockstar #indiemusic #countrymusic open.spotify.com/track/5Xz1O1pU…

Played at an open mic last night, love it, love applauding for everyone, from the seasoned pros to the newbies, one guy strummed one chord while reciting an original poem to his daughter, can't get better than that. #musicians #poets #SONGWRITERS

Now that the holiday is behind me, it's back to music, band practice, open mic and writing my book "Tune It Up" this year is gonna rock! #musicians #guitarist #authorlife

Putting my finishing touches on my cover and my last few chapters before hitting the self-publish button at Amazon with the first book in my series, soon to be a published author, check that off the bucket list.

Some days it is so quiet without Mel sitting on the couch strumming his guitar. He was the background music to my life for 25 years till COVID took him away. Today I could use a little acoustic excellence. open.spotify.com/track/63JWqA3W…

Welp, I did it. I did stretches, crunches, and a mini plank this morning. I’m heading into the new year with focus clearly etched on my brain. I need to get healthy and this is the first step. And to top it off, I sold a book.💜

Listened to Rick Beato interview with @rickrubin so inspired I wrote a new scene for my book and added a new song to the set list

Adding songs to my setlist from my life history, apparently, I am an old lady stuck in her ways, BUT that music was soooo good, so next up, learn some Carole King. #guitarplayer #musicians #rockstar

Submitted three of Mel's songs to an album project, let's see what they think? not day dreaming about a Grammy but it would be fun to be included in the meantime keep writing #singersongwriter #authorsoftwitter #countrymusic

Intense windstorm is keeping me inside, awesome, I can drink a little wine and do some writing, that's a great day, hope nothing blows away, but my fence on the west side will be covered in tumbleweeds #wideopenspaces

#kindlevella is winding down so my 41 episodes of "Tune It Up!" are becoming a #ebook at #kindle it's a whole new level of expectation for me #youngadultfiction #rockstarlife

My role in Silverwing was to hold down the beat, strum along and haul gear, and I was soooo good at all of those things, BUT last night I played along to backing tracks in E and A and guess what? I can solo!! add THAT to my skills.

closer to publishing my book, hours of editing, hours of daydreaming, if i get stumped, i move away, do something different and inspiration will strike and solve my dilemma, time to go play the guitar #yafiction #writerscommunity #rockstar #authorlife

I am building a video for a friend's rodeo event, they are gathering photos, and I am going to use our song "Rodeo" as the background music, I want the world to hear my hubby Mel singing and playing, always makes me happy. #countrymusic #rodeo #rockstar open.spotify.com/track/5Xz1O1pU…

Awesome times at open mic, challenged myself to play songs that intimidate me, a few mistakes, but no one was permanently harmed by my bad notes, ha! #rockstar #musicians #girlswithguitars Back to editing book 2! #authorlife

Renewed my band website, the salesperson asked what I use the site for, selling merch, etc, when I told her it's a memorial to my late husband Mel & our band, she became very emotional, thank you, that means a lot. #grief #loss #covidsucks silverwingband.com I miss him!

In the last few weeks, I got 2 invites for solo work, a request to play bass with another band & me and Sean are gonna book some duo work. My hubby told me I was good enough, but I didn't believe him. Now I know he was right. Thank you, Mel. You always believed in me!

Editing book 2 of "Into the Spotlight" series about shy Lacey saving the day when the star of the show falls apart, ah, such bravery #yafiction #authorscommunity Amazon.com: Tune It Up!: Part One of the "Into the Spotlight" Series eBook : Warstler, Mary: Books

Mel played guitar every day, sitting on the couch watching TV, he would play theme songs, commercial jingles and video game music. Now my son, who sat next to him is playing on stage, starring in our hometown musical. Thanks for your inspiration, Mel. RIP, sweetheart.
