December started out on a positive note, fell to shit around the middle, and is ending in a ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ <— I think that emoji really could sum up the whole of 2016 along with these 3 letters: WTF. It could definitely sum up the last week of December with the deaths of George Michael, Carrie Fisher, Debbie Reynolds, Richard Adams and spaceman Piers Seller (and that’s … Continue reading Songs of My Life: December 2016
November felt like it moved as slow as molasses on a winter day. There was something askew with November. I felt as I was walking through a haze, a cloud but maybe Lorelei Gilmore said it best in the episode of “Fall” in Gilmore Girls, “I feel like I’m standing still.” I just felt off this month. Maybe it was my vibrational energies, my biorhythms, it being … Continue reading Songs of My Life: November 2016
Musically, the songs of October were mostly personal notes to myself. Reminders of what I was feeling and that it’s okay to feel it. Notes that reminded me to smile even though “worry and change spun me around and my big old heart has been ripped right out.” Notes that sang that it’s okay to be “here and heartsteady”, notes that let me know being who I am and the way I am is just fine even if someone might not understand how I work and notes that said it’s okay to be by the side of someone you deeply care for even if they might not feel the same or would do the same. The month ends with Lady Gaga and her song a “Million Pieces” and it’s a perfect ending to October and in reflection sums up a lot of 2016…A million reasons to walk away but just needing one good one to stay. For me, in October, I didn’t battle my demons, I battled on not giving up on dreams. Specifically, my Australia dream. Within 2016 alone, I was given a million reasons to give up on my Australia dream and each time I thought about quitting, the Universe gave me a reason not to quit. October gave me one good reason to stay.
Theme for September…fuck if I know. FUCK. IF. I. KNOW. I feel like this month’s list is like a 3 year old on a sugar high who also happens to have attention deficit disorder and has to pee at the same time but sees his dog chasing a his tail. There was no depression. No anxiety. A lot of moments of “meh”, a few moments of … Continue reading Songs of My Life: September 2016
It’s amazing, surprising, frustrating, and scary how a month can change thoughts, feelings, energies, things, people, and the list goes on and on. Some things felt over night. Somethings felt over the course of days, week, or the month but whatever it was August kicked me in my imaginary gonads. I felt it beat the shit out of me until the full moon on the 18th. … Continue reading Songs of My Life: August 2016
There was no rhyme or reason to the music of June. As much as I’ve looked for a theme, I could not find one and that’s quite okay by me. I like the months where there is no specific message just music that touches various parts of my souls. Continue reading “Songs of My Life: June 2016”
I don’t know what to say for April. I feel there was no rhyme nor reason with the music this month. I’m okay with that. To me, when the songs are random and do not connect, I feel that it’s a message from the Universe that I’m on the right path, where I should be, listening to what is being said, feeling what is being given, doing what I need to be doing, etc…etc…etc. April has been wonderful and I am grateful for that. I am also grateful for the journeys and the people who are in my life. Continue reading “Songs of My Life: April 2016”
March is usually known for basketball, daylight savings time (in the US), and the first signs of spring. For me, March was about appreciating what I have currently in my life, enjoying moments for what they were, acknowledging that situations, people, places, and things made me happier than a clam in sand and that what didn’t bring me joy was okay as well and that it … Continue reading Songs of My Life: March 2016
February…you were a wild one, but mostly you were just like the spray painted sign I saw on the side of a building: “moments in love”. You were a beautiful, inspiring, and spectacular month filled with some tears, lots of laughter and giggles, and fun. You made me a better person February. Thank you. “BREATHE IN, BREATHE OUT, MOVE ON” by JIMMY BUFFETT This song … Continue reading Songs of My Life: February 2016
Apologies for the lack of music links. I just don’t have the greatest internet here in Hervey Bay and I want to crank out this post before it turns December here! So if you want to listen to the songs, you’re going to have to go hunt them down. They’re worth it, but I do have a few here you can listen too. November…I can … Continue reading Songs of My Life: November 2015
