Listen on Apple Music Listen on Spotify THE CHOSEN 3: LIGHT (energy): n/a LOVE (vibration): n/a MAGIC (frequency): n/a I couldn’t decide on a Chosen 3 this month that spoke Light, Love, and Magic to me. Of all the months, Light, Love, and Magic was definitely needed. I started July feeling rather hopeless. Found an undercurrent of anger and hostility simmering within me and then found peace. The US … Continue reading Songs of My Life: July 2020
August opened and ended with new moons (August 1st and the 30th). For me, a new moon symbolises new beginnings, resetting, recovery and starting fresh. I suppose August has been just that for me. I tried new things, reiki and took The Space Between mindfulness course, I started a new training program (and am wrapping it up as well). I’ve had a lot of great moments … Continue reading Songs of My Life: August 2019
Musically, the songs of May may not have been about patience, but I feel that was what I was suppose to learn this month. Patience. Patience with myself, my soul, my spirit, my physical journey and patience with others. Listen on AppleMusic Listen on Spotify “Rainin’” by Sponge (Live at Rock Ring version) This will always be one of my favorite Sponge songs and this beauty … Continue reading Songs of My Life: May 2019
Looking back on October, I didn’t sense an overall theme or feeling. Just songs that marked moments, thoughts, feelings. October was a bit of a weird one for me. Neither blah or awesome. It just existed. Just. Listen/watch on Youtube HERE or below. Spotify* users HERE (*not all songs on Spotify) “A Better Future” by David Bowie From his HEATHEN album, which was considered a … Continue reading Songs of My Life: October 2017
When I originally sat down to reflect on the songs of August, I thought the theme was BREATHE as it appears in several lyrics and try as I might to stay level headed and together and positive and all that wonderful jazz, I do sometimes forget to just breathe. But on second glance, the theme was not BREATHE, the theme was NOT ENOUGH. For me, the first half … Continue reading Songs of My Life: August 2017
I give you Volume 2. Narrowing this down to 20 was so freaking hard. So many songs!! The last 20 years have been filled with gems that’s for sure. I also realized I am quite influenced by songs with “train” in the title. There was two in Volume 1, one here. Again, these songs are a part of who I am and have influenced me for … Continue reading The Music History of Shelia: Volume 2 (1996-2016)
One month down eleven more to go. Not that I’m rushing 2017 through. So far so good. Sitting down and listening to all the songs again, I feel that the theme or message of January was about loving, being there, standing up for what you believe in and never giving up. That’s what I took away from all the songs. It’s not like the Universe … Continue reading Songs of My Life: January 2017
SONG: “Tomorrow Starts Today” ARTIST: Econoline Crush Another band I was obsessed with was Econoline Crush. A band I still listen to, Econoline Crush. I have always loved Trevor Hurst’s voice. There’s just something about it. Their album BRAND NEW HISTORY was one of my favorite albums of 2001. On repeat for months and thank goodness the music gods were shining on my life and … Continue reading #22: “Tomorrow Starts Today”
