May did not have a theme nor a message. Just good tunes. I like it like that. It’s nice when the brain, the heart, the soul, the spirit, and The Universe is one. I was at peace in May and the happiest I have been in a long time. I’m grateful and it was not taken for granted at all. Listen on Spotify Listen/Watch on … Continue reading Songs of My Life: May 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
The first part of December was a bit of a struggle mentally and emotionally for me. As I neared the anniversary of my mom’s death, I honestly didn’t think I could take any more tears or pain. My soul rallied and we made it through and have set the intentions for an amazing 2018. Here are the songs that helped and inspired me this month. … Continue reading Songs of My Life: December 2017
In my journal, I made myself answer the question: What is right about me that I’m not getting? One of the answers that stood out the most was this: “I’m a person with depression and anxieties but I don’t let that stop me from living and experiencing life or loving someone.” Life isn’t packaged in a pretty box with a bow. It’s much like a Jackson Pollack painting. … Continue reading Songs of My Life: February 2017
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
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
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
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”
I posted my Top 5 albums list over at 16 Clefs last week, but wanted to give my Top 10 here. I was really doubting that there would be decent albums for the first half of the year, but the last half of the year did not disappoint. In order from 10 to 1: #10: STUCK by ADELITAS WAY: I’ve always enjoyed this band’s music. From their … Continue reading TOP 10 ALBUMS OF 2014
October was a quiet month but the songs were sort of soul connecting and reminders to just be. “Home” by Linus Young This song is the intro to Linus Young’s debut album, Category 5, and It’s absolutely beautiful. I love the music with the church bells and the lyrics: “There are days when I feel like dying. There are nights when I feel alone. But today I, … Continue reading Songs of My Life: October 2014
