TRUE LOVE TUESDAY: I LOVE MUSIC, ANY KIND OF MUSIC AS LONG AS IT'S SWINGING
Check my new music play list on Sonific--emerging artist taking their turn at creating new music or re-interpreting old stuff. I am into creating music for the soundtrack of my life. I am picking music that reflects my mood. No matter what my mood is, music is right along stoking the mood. Yep, I am old school. My musical tastes are eclectic, I dig everything from classical music-- Gospel, World music, Lullaby's, Rock, Old School R&B, Jazz and my new favorites Country music and Zydeco. I am finding that there is a song for everything that I am feeling; capturing the moment perfectly. When I hear Billie sing "Alone in my solitude" oh my God it is like she is singing just to me. When you are feeling blue ain't nothing better than Billie Holiday, working your mood. At some point you got to get up off the floor and start fresh. Yes, there is music for that. I like disco to get the blood racing, I know today it's called dance music...whatever, it's DISCO. Who can't shake their booty to KC & The Sunshine Band--Do a little dance, make a little love, get down tonight. Now my Sonofic play list to your right is eclectic, it's not complete just a little taste of what I like. I find music to be good therapy, it can lift you up, bring you down and hold you tight. Throw in a good bottle of wine/beer/shot/ turn up the volume, dim the lights and let the music play.

I'm a writer researching for an article at my job. I can't tell you how I got to your blog (so many clicks I forgot where I started)
Anyway I read snippets of your story and wanted to encourage you to keep going. You are incredibly strong. Stay positive. Cry. Break down sometimes. But stay positive. Your story is just beginning!!!!
Thank you. I really appreciate the kind post of encouragement. Stop by often.
