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
March’s message is simple: Everything’s gonna be all right. Listen on Spotify Listen/Watch on YouTube or below “Three Little Birds” by Bob Marley This song drifted into my head at the beginning of the month and has stuck with me through it out. My anxiety has been off the charts February and March. The attacks make everything seem it’s falling apart even if it may not … Continue reading Songs of My Life: March 2018
I gave myself a challenge on February to post one new piece of writing every day. Be it a poem, thoughts, etc. You can read all the pieces HERE. Some were inspired by feelings, thoughts, emotions, reactions, events and so on. Things I learned from that challenge: I wrote a poem (Innocence’s Caress) that reminded someone of Catullus 85 by Catullus and that was pretty rad … Continue reading Songs of My Life: February 2018
I didn’t make any resolutions for 2018. I did make targets I’d like to reach as you can always step back and realign if necessary. I think if you label things as a resolution or goal and you stumble, it seems like immediate failure. I’ve had this target mindset since 2012 and it’s worked and I don’t see it not working for 2018. The month … Continue reading Songs of My Life: January 2018

I’d say these are my favorites so far. In alphabetical order by artist covering, here are the 16 songs I think freaking rock! Listen/watch HERE or below. Helden by Apocalyptica featuring Till … Continue reading Top 16 Cover Songs
June. Winter in Australia. Summer in the US. Opposites. I think this comparison is a perfect summary for my life in June. Hot and Cold. Good days and bad days. Everything and nothing. You can watch/listen below or click HERE “Submission” by Sex Pistols Not a bad way to start June. It was the lyrics that caught my ear: “…You’ve got me pretty deep baby. … Continue reading Songs of My Life: June 2017
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
Someone asked if these were really songs that hit me over the month and the answer is yes. Each month new songs, new moments. They’re in the exact order from top to bottom from beginning to end of the month. Some months when I review the songs, I see patterns. Some months, I don’t see any. At the end of every week, I try to sit down and listen to the list and sometimes, as soon as I hear the song and it hits me, I make a note why it’s there. Sometimes I forget why they get dragged into the list. These songs though are part of me, part of my soul. They capture feelings I want to share or feelings I want to hide. They capture moments or thoughts. Songs that hit me the hardest linger in my head. Songs that make me smile, I go to every time I need that smile. Songs that make me teary-eyed, I ask myself why. Continue reading “Songs of My Life: July 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
