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

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
This was inspired by a conversation I had one night with Nick. Though I suggested to him there should be a mix tape/playlist made for “The Music History of Nick”, it got me thinking of my own music history. Music has been in my life for as long as I can remember. Both of my parents love music and their choices were as eclectic as mine … Continue reading The Music History of Shelia: Volume 1 (1975-1995)
Not a lot of diversity artist wise for May. A lot of Sylvan Esso, Matthew Ryan, Depeche Mode and a few new artists thanks to the ultimate mindfuck that is the world of David Lynch’s Twin Peaks. May was up and down for me. A full moon and new moon bookending the month fucked with me plus the normal mental battle I have just drained me. … Continue reading Songs of My Life: May 2017
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
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
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
