April showers bring May flowers…that’s how the saying goes anyway so we shall see. So here are the songs of my life for April. I shuffled, I asked, and here is what I received.

I didn’t write, post, or do anything constructive in January…well, I don’t feel like I did anyway. I pretty much hid from life. My life was kind of in limbo. Living half here and living half there. My thoughts, my emotions, and physical being were/are tired, depressed, and wants to just crawl under the covers and hide from the world. I think the songs of … Continue reading Songs of My Life: January 2013

Over the weekend, I spent a wonderful day with my oldest niece, Riley. She is one of the brightest stars in my night sky. There is nothing I would not do for her or my youngest niece, Taylor (another bright star in my sky). Riley is 13 going on mature levels that most adults I know never reach. She is smart, funny, and stunning. I … Continue reading The Reasons We Are Blessed

It completed my list of seeing all ten of my favorite bands. Which leads to this post…this topic has come out several times this week so I thought, I’d write a post about it. My favorite 10 bands … Continue reading My Favorite Artists
Culture Bleeding by Xavier Rudd I find this song very spiritual. I don’t know if it’s the way Xavier uses the didgeridoo and drums but there is something that connects me to this song. It moves me. Let it Go by The Constellations This song just tells you what you need to do to…let it go. Sometimes you just go to let it … Continue reading Songs of My Life: July 2012
5 days late but I had a great excuse that I won’t get into on this post. Shady Love by Scissor Sisters I love me some Scissor Sisters and the chorus to this song is infectious and fun! In fact, their whole new CD is ah-may-zing. Favorite lyric: “Why so tough. You see me running, but you can’t keep up. So let me slow down for … Continue reading Songs of My Life – June 2012
