Hi, I’m Mimi. I’ve been feeling quite inspired lately, and have lots of fun creative project in the works. I’m using this blog as a way to express myself during this current walk I’m on. I hope you’ll come along and share the adventure.

  • Do you feel like you pursued the wrong passion?

    I went to school and pursued STEM over the arts when growing up. I’m realizing now the arts are my saving grace.

    I was never good at school. I was always singing, even at school in my own world on the swings listening to the iPod my dad got me. He load all kinds of song on there, particularly the Beatles and Taylor Swifts original albums. I even had all of the Grims Fairy Tales.

    In third grade, I got better at math when I started playing the clarinet. I always said it made my brain click, but I also think it hasn’t fully clicked. 😉 getting closer now that I’ve found faith, which is adjacent to this story.

    Now I have a degree in something lord knows what I’ll do with: Communication.

    I have been blessed to work in a job five minutes from my house, that pays well and has benefits, in a city that’s probably so expensive to live that people can’t.

    Though, when I moved here I didn’t know anyone and making friends is not how it used to be. Thankfully, I’ve been blessed to meet real and kind-loving people here.

    I just saw a friend of mine, who’s studying art back in my hometown (though she’s from Texas), post a photo of the sculpture she built that’s absolutely beautiful. She’s fully being the person she’s meant to be.

    It’s inspiring! I mean. I can go into how her life is different than mine, how she grew up with a supportive family, had school paid for. But this isn’t that kind of tale. I truly believe God has divine timing.

    Though I don’t know my exact calling. I feel blessed to be where I am and to have hobbies and interests that bring be joy. Sometimes I have these doubts that creep in, but Luke chapter 1 says in there not to be afraid, you have favor with God. You are blessed among men and women. Mary said, “let it be to me according to your word.” What will be will be.

    I realized I really relied on the encouragement of others to pursue my dreams and because I was so insecure, I didn’t really think I was ever good enough. Even though I had their encouragement, what I really needed was to believe in myself.

    “I think I can,” like the little train who could.

    I know this isn’t the best motivational speech by any means. I’m still not sure I’m fully convinced myself, but at least I’m starting.

    Good luck to you, too.

  • It’s here. The time when robots take over our jobs

    Did you see that there is an AI generated actress looking for work! Emily said, “that’s AI?… Dear lord, we’re screwed. That’s really really scary.” – World News with David Muer.

    And now, a commercial just showed somebody’s advertisement for an AI security system for your house!

    The thing about it is the power plants hosting these AI super computers uses all sorts of water to keep the machines from over heating. Is it recycling water or is it constantly pulling from our water supply? Is AI even sustainable? I mean the power plant for chat GPT takes up half the state of Cincinnati or something absurd.

  • Has your name ever been used as a verb?

    I had a friend once say, “you’re just Miranda-ing.” He never told me what he meant by that, nor do I remember the exact instance he said that. Nonetheless, I think that it had something to do with the fact that I have a common trend to overthink, worry about how I’ll be perceived, overshare, step too far.

    But I’m reminded that we all can equally balance the positives with the negatives and I care about others feelings, Grammy even said you’re unique enough to be verb or something like that. She said, “I think that would be a great accomplishment, because you see I’ve never been a verb.”

    In that case, if you see this: Thank you Aiden, I’m honored (p.s. no hard feelings).

  • Alligator Alcatraz

    Alligator Alcatraz by Nath, my version has some mistakes check out her original #perfectlyimperfect :

    1,200 people in Alligator Alcatraz went missing on the day of the “rapture,” sadly I don’t think….

  • Quote of the Day 9/26/2025

    “if it makes you happy it doesn’t have to make sense to anybody else”

  • Grammy’s Everything Bagel with Cream Cheese, Lox, Chopped Red Onion, and Swiss Cheese Topped with Horseradish Sauce

    Grammy always has moved pretty quickly, she’s always been on top of her game. I just asked her, “can you move slower?” I mean she’s jumping between the counter and the fridge so quickly that I see for a brief moment her left foot wasn’t caught up with the move yet to switch her direction, that when she turned, thankfully her right foot caught her from falling so quickly that I didn’t have to even lunge yet. She said “Slow? Move slow? What are you kidding?” You just gotta laugh.

    So first thing, “quickly, quickly” I just heard her say, “put the bagel in the toaster.” We’re eating everything bagels.

    You’ll put cream cheese as a base on both sides. “And you can put it on thick because everyone likes cream cheese.” Put your lox on the bottom bagel (you can get your lox at the deli of your local grocery store). Grammy said, “just for the heck of it, I put a drizzle of horseradish sauce made by Boar’s Head.” Put Swiss cheese on the bagel with the lox and the cream cheese and microwave only that side. Once it’s out of the microwave sprinkle some chopped red onion. Then put them together and add some peperoncinis to your plate. Grammy likes the Greek and I like the Italian, which kind do you like?

    Let us know if you tried this quick recipe!

  • Do you believe in little miracles?

    Just the other day I was in the living room talking to Grammy on the couch about my upcoming trip, and all of a sudden, our kitty Kleo Patrick comes out of Grammy’s room seemingly chasing something. I turned to look over by the marble coffee table that Grammy’s parents got when she was just five years old and I kid you not, there’s a little red laser light going along the floor with Kleo cupping his little paws over it and then chasing it under the couch. Not Grammy nor I had the laser near by, but I knew Jesus or God (or whoever you believe the creator is that loves us and wants the best for all of us creatures), was no doubt playing the laser game with our kitty Kleo.

    Personally I believe God was answering my prayer for him to play with the kitties. Now I’m sure you may be wondering were windows open? Was someone one playing with a laser through the window? To entertain these questions, I’ll have you know I did in fact look to check. No, there was no weird reflections on the windows or through our lace curtains.

    I know there have been more little miracles in my life and I’m sure more in others too that I hope you comment below to share. This one little minute in time will be added to my list next to walking on water of reasons to believe in Jesus.

  • My first blog post! -Mimi Harmony

    Well hello there,

    My name’s Mimi, I’m 23 from Colorado Springs, CO, but I moved to Nashville about a year ago. My Grammy has lived here since August 3, 1987 and I moved here on August 11th 2024. My older sister lived with Grammy on and off for 7 years before me, but left within a few weeks of my arrival.

    My kitty Prince is about a year old and mostly white with what looks like accents of clothes/ tattoo sleeves in the print of a tabby cat. He’s extraordinarily sweet and gentle and likes to be around people but is shy when it comes to affection. Grammy’s kitty, Kleo Pattrick, is an all black Bombay cat that has a shorter little snout than other kitties, with greenish gold eyes. He’s the most outgoing cat you’ll meet–loves people, extremely independent, loves to play soccer with aluminum foil balls, plays fetch with hair ties, causes trouble, etc.. The first day they met they fell in love, and I mean so much so that we had to start giving them privacy and they’ve kept the same daily routine since. Grammy says, “we’re glad somebody has romance in this house.” Ahahahaha

    I moved here because I had family here, but since moving here I’ve developed a love for music. I’m sure everyone says that, I mean thats the most common reason people move to Nashville. But I found the love for music here. It means a lot to me since I don’t think I could ever really say I loved music. At least I didn’t respect it as much as I do now. I’m wondering, have you or someone you know felt this way?

    When I was a kid I used to play the clarinet, but I swear my band directors were so annoyed that I was first chair but didn’t practice. Looking back on it now, I really wish I practiced. I had learned saxophone in jazz band and flute in flute choir, but though I was good, I wasn’t disciplined, maybe partly not as inspired, maybe slightly discouraged, and probably other factors I haven’t begun to uncover. I’m not sure is anyone else has experienced anything like this.

    But when I moved here, I stopped by my Grandpa in Albuquerque, and saw his Grammy Award for his band the New Vaudeville Band, and their song Winchester Cathedral (he played guitar). My Grammy also often remembers my other Grandpa Ron Davies who was a talented songwriter and guitar player as well.

    Well my family and this city has inspired me to play music again. The friends I’ve made at Browns Diner have encouraged along with my Grammy these pursuits. They gave me a tip to get a guitar from guitar center on Black Friday in 2024 and that’s just what I did. My grandpa gave me his baritone ukulele as well and, I’ve lost my clarinet and sold my sax a long time ago, but thankfully I have my flute.

    I guess all this to say, I’m hoping to follow this journey I’m on to learn what I find joy in putting my mind to.

    I hope by reading this you find some sort of comfort in not being alone in your journey, or even if it’s thinking “I’m at least not as far off as her”, but I hope to use this space to normalize some area’s of life that may not be as obvious or common to others.

    Thank you for taking the time to read this post, and I hope you stick around for more. Feel free to reach out, my email is melodywithmimiharmony@gmail.com, I’d love to know how you relate.
