As many of you know, my Dad passed away on Easter of this year and it truly devastated me. I’d already lost my brother (he was 33) as in 2005 to colon cancer which never allowed my family to be the same again, but then for my Dad to leave us, quite unexpectedly, is something that will haunt me for the rest of my life. I was in a state of depression for months, which I guess is natural, but I am feeling better. Saturday, though, was his birthday and naturally it got me sad and made me miss him even more. But instead of moping around, crying and being upset, I decided to take all that energy and express it as only I know how: in a video.

I took my dog for a walk to “the park” (aka a place near our condos) and it was a happy day for him. So what does that have to do with my Dad? Deco was there for me every single step of the way going through and getting out of my depression after Dad died (as well as my Mom, my boyfriend, my friends and my coworkers). But those who have dogs know, there’s something that only they can feel and something only they can do – and I truly feel like Deco heals my heart when it’s broken.

My Dad loved Deco. Loved him. So here’s to you, Dad. Happy Birthday. May we love those we love, forgive those who need to and never take a day for granted again:

It’s already October.

Can you believe that? It got me thinking… and trust me, this isn’t another self-ad for me to have you support my podcast. BUT, you do need to know if you use promo codes to your favorite podcast shows (those that are actually signed/produced by major companies, such as the Moxie Mo Show), you can get great savings just by simply using a promo code.

According to AT&T’s press release today, they will begin “unlocking” MMS for iPhone 3G/3GS users on the West Coast in the morning and working its way to the east coast “later in the afternoon.” There will be instructions on how to update your phone (more than likely via iTunes) to get this feature that we’ve been waiting for…. months!

Thanks AT&T. Finally, let’s hope.

So anyone who really knows me, knows that I’m a huge Whitney Houston fan. I’ve loved her since I was a kid and “I Will Always Love You” is my most favorite song ever. I know she’s had it a bit rough as of late, but I truly believe she’s back on track and her new album just released yesterday. I had to get this song in some sort of expression, so naturally I made a photo “montage” of what this song means to me.

Losing my Dad on Easter this year and losing my only sibling, Steve, to cancer in 2005 has devastated my family – but I choose to look to my friends, my family and my loved ones to keep me through the rough times. I hope this video somehow captures that, especially with Whitney’s beautiful new song in the background.

Now go turn up your speakers.
