The Official Website For Auriol Hays
It’s okay to have moments of sheer and complete panic, I reminded myself a few hours ago. It’s okay to doubt and not know which way to turn or what to do. This is just part of being human. Some bits are harder than most, and that’s okay also. I ask myself a series of […]
Look, I think it’s a funny song. I rather like just sitting at the piano and seeing what pops out. And this is what happened. It comes with the usual disclaimer… recorded on my phone and the piano is played badly okay? This is what Lockdown and Prohibition is doing to me..

I know what they say about us Scorpio women. And most of it is…who cares if any of that stuff is true or trash eh? Lemme tell you something, a confession if you will. I have been crossed and fooked over more times than I care to remember. Each time an event like that occurred, […]
