Music is my Therapy

This season I wasn't too invested to be completely honest, but there are definitely a few stand out performances that I remember! The Serpent aka DR. ELVIS FRANCOIS His cover of 500 Miles took my breath away! He turned this silly song into a beautiful ballad 😍 One of my favorite performances in the history of this show! He went home way too soon 😔 ALL OF HIS PERFROMANCES WERE SO GOOD!! 👏 The Crocodile aka NICK CARTER My younger sister figured this out before me!! After watching only one performance! As a former BSB fan...I'm ashamed and embarrassed. 😞 Favorite performances: It's My Life,  Toxic (😳 - what a change up!) , I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing & Open Arms (the absolute BEST! )   The Sun aka LEANN RIMES The WINNER of this season! She was good so I was OK with it...again, I didn't really have a front runner this season. Favorite performances:  Cuz I Love You, Praying, Piece of My Heart & The Story Honorable Mention The Mushroom aka ALOE BLACK Defi...

Song: If Ever Artist: Paula Fuga & Jack Johnson HAPPY EARTH DAY!! 🌎💙💚 This time of year makes me so excited! The weather is finally getting nice (sunshine! 🌞) and I can spend more time being outside. I love nature. It's so incredible, beautiful and peaceful. I'm so blessed to live in such a gorgeous area where there is so much to explore. It makes me sick when I see trash and litter all over the ground, or fields full of plastic bags, water filthy with garbage! We need to take care of our world! We need to protect nature and all it's living things! It's so important. In honor of Earth Day 🌎 sunshine 🌞 and nature 🌷, I thought this song brought to you by these two would be only appropriate. Jack Johnson is a HUGE advocate for keeping the earth clean and his music makes me think of sunshine and summer days (which are just around the corner!). The music video (below) was released today so it truly is the perfect song to share 😊 Isn't the setting of thi...

Song: When I Look Up Artist: Jack Johnson (feat. Paula Fuga) I have a really fun wall calendar entitled Every Day's A Holiday . This calendar is perfect for someone like me who seriously loves to find a reason/excuse to celebrate ANYTHING any time of the year! Most of the days are something random and silly but some are fun (especially when it's a "dessert themed holiday" like National Banana Cream Pie Day which was on March 2nd... and yes I made a form of banana cream pie that day 😁). Anyway, today was one of those totally "random" days but this song immediately popped into my head when I read it: April 14th -  Look Up at the Sky Day! Here's to celebrating life, every day! I'm going to try to share more of these "daily holidays" because I think their fun! Especially if there's a song I can associate with it. When I look up at the stars As I walk in the night Down the street by my house It feels good When I look up at the stars As ...

Season 3 was one of THE most frustrating seasons for me!! My first childhood crush (Jesse McCartney) was on and totally should have taken the W but was CHEATED for the most UNFAIR reason!! All because they wanted a GIRL to win!! 🙄 #rigged I'm not even going to post any of her performances because I didn't like her and she should NOT have won!!! 😡 The Turtle aka JESSE MCCARTNEY I will NEVER EVER forgive the MS for doing this to Jesse!! He was crushed to come in 2nd! He deserved 1st and erry'one and their dog knew it!! SHAME ON YOU JUDGES!! SHAME ON YOU! 😡😭😡😭 For the record, I think I would have eventually figured it out on my own but my sister-in-law kinda spoiled it for me night one...not sure how she knew it and I wonder if she and my brother secretly googled it...my brother is the mischievous type who would do something like that... IT'S STILL NOT OK!!  Favorite performances:  All of them!? lol.  Kiss of a Rose, Nothing Holding Me Back, Say You Won...

Easter "Resurrection" Sunday!   "Early in the morning, Mary Magdalene, a friend and follower of Jesus, comes to the tomb to care for His body. To her astonishment, she finds the tomb empty. But she is not alone. A man addresses her—a gardener, she supposes. But then He says her name: “Mary” (John 20:16). And she sees. He is Jesus. The Christ lives. This Easter Sunday, as we take time, like Mary, to focus on the Savior and celebrate His Resurrection, we can know that Jesus knows each of us by name, too. He calls on us to become more like Him and experience the true peace that His gospel brings." - https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/comeuntochrist/easter-2021/holy-week-day-8-easter-sunday Read the account of the Savior's Resurrection:   John 20:1-18 #S TARTING T ODAY :   I'm Making Time For Him My Testimony: Easter 2021   - As I have listened to God's living Prophets and Apostles teach inspired words of love and truth these past two days, I have felt love...

The Tomb "It’s hard to imagine the anguish Jesus Christ’s followers must have felt after His death. They lovingly prepared and placed His body in a garden tomb. Now, they must face a world without their beloved friend and Master by their side. But He taught them how to show their love for Him in any circumstance, including this one: “If ye love me, keep my commandments.” If we want to truly feel close to the Savior, we must take action and do the things He asked us to do." - https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/comeuntochrist/easter-2021/holy-week-day-7-the-tomb Read Jesus's promise to comfort us:   John 14:26-27 Read about Jesus's body being laid in the sepulcher:   Luke 23:50-56 #S TARTING T ODAY :   I'm Walking the Walk  Song:   I Know He Lives  Artist:   David Archuleta  I don't have to see Him I don't have to touch His hands To know that those nails pierced through Mmh, to save the sinful man I don't have to be there Don't have to roll th...

Good Friday  "After suffering in Gethsemane for the sins of all people, Jesus is betrayed into the hands of the local authorities. Following a series of one-sided trials, He is sentenced to death by crucifixion. His suffering for us continues on the cross, and He is surrounded by people who cruelly mock Him. And yet, through it all, Jesus courageously endures, never letting fear keep Him from carrying out His mission to redeem all God’s children. Because of what He did, we can also leave fear behind as we use the power of His sacrifice to become a better version of ourselves." - https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/comeuntochrist/easter-2021/holy-week-day-6-good-friday Read the account of the Savior's suffering in Gethsemane:   Luke 22:39-44 Read the account of Jesus's Crucifixion:   Luke 23:27-46 Update from yesterday's question - My sweet little puppy dog is on the mend!!

The Last Supper "In the evening, Jesus Christ gathers His apostles to share a meal and express His love for them. The Last Supper is a quiet, beautiful moment that takes place before Jesus enters the Garden of Gethsemane later that night. He knows that soon He will sacrifice His life and His disciples will be without Him. He introduces the ordinance of the sacrament so they always remember His sacrifice, and He teaches them the power of prayer. He encourages them to ask their Father in Heaven for the things they need so that they can know that God hears and answers the prayers of His children."  - https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/comeuntochrist/easter-2021/holy-week-day-5-the-last-supper Read the account of the Last Supper:   Luke 22:7-20 Jesus taught, “Ask, and ye shall receive” (John 16:24).
