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
SONG: “Comfortable in My Skin” ARTIST: Xavier Rudd When I turned 39 last year, I wrote: I’ll continue to be who am without any regard to the number that’s branded on me. As I stand a few days away from turning that Big 4-0, I am even more comfortable in my skin. By the time this posts to the good ol’ interwebs, I will be on … Continue reading #06: “Comfortable in My Skin”
For me, September was about realizing my fears and realizing how to confront them, but it was also a great reminder of to live in the now, appreciate every moment you have, and to love. Just don’t love your fears. Kick your fears in their respective tacos and live the life you have dreamt of living. “HEAD UP” by SUGARCULT This song may have very … Continue reading Songs of My Life: September 2015
July was just July. Nothing crazy happened. Nothing bad happen. It seemed too long and it seemed too short. I was madly inspired by friends (thank you Amy and to Melissa & Chris). July was just what it was and I’m okay with that. Continue reading “Songs of My Life: July 2015”

I never know if the songs of my life will have a consistent theme or message each month. Sometimes, it’s obvious as each song connects but most of the time, I don’t see a theme/message until I sit down an reflect and write this post. The theme/message of March was one word: RELEASE. I have/had a lot of pent up stress, frustration, emotions, thoughts, blah, blah, blah and … Continue reading Songs of My Life: March 2015
February was a short month but for all that is and was holy, it ninja kicked me in the face. Work made me feel like I was slowly drowning in ad plan after ad plan, stack of files after stack of files. Life saw my work out motivation quickly change from all in into, nope, not happening today or tomorrow or even next week. Somehow I survived it all. I always do. I am blessed by the Universe with inner strength even in the midst of a overwhelming, mentally exhausted breakdown of sobbing tears I remind myself to just breathe and bend, do not break.

Song from my favorite band!! I don’t know if I can narrow down my Top 5 to my favorite one. It’s just too hard. To narrow that field down, it would have to be the one that has given me the most inspiration this year and that’s Xavier Rudd. My favorite song from Xavier would have to be “Follow the Sun”. I wake up to … Continue reading 30 Day Song Challenge Redux (Day 11): Song from Your Favorite Band
Choosing a favorite song is hard. I would normally pick “Pirate Looks at Forty” by Jimmy Buffett, but I’m going to have to change it up because this song has sort of become my theme song for 2014. That song is “Comfortable in My Skin” by Xavier Rudd. It’s what I have become and the lyrics “Comfortable in my skin it’s all for one and … Continue reading 30 Day Song Challenge Redux (Day 1): Favorite Song
