Music is my Therapy

Song(s): I'm Ready  &  Boat Artist(s):   Hanson & Ed Sheeran It's a two song kinda month.  First up, Hanson. Because it's Hanson month. And this is one of my new life anthems/theme songs. I want to feel   Ready.   Ready to overcome my fears. Ready to open up and get help.  Ready to move forward and start living.  This song makes me feel like I am...or at least that I can be. The uplifting message of the lyrics and swelling feel of the music, gives me a boost of courage and peace each time I listen to it. "I’m ready for, the barriers to come down." 👊💪🌻✨ Unfortunately I can't share the song in it's entirety due to the fact that it's a Member's EP song. But, this small clip does include my favorite verse and Taylor sounds 😍😍 What are you waiting for?

Today is Memorial Day. A day I spend remembering. Remembering my loved ones who have passed. This one hits hard. It's my second Memorial day remembering my grandma and my sweet puppy dog and best friend . 🖤🤍💔 It's the first one since my grandpa's death . And my neighbors dogs death who very much felt like my own. 💔 I miss them all terribly. Especially right now. As summer officially begins. Summertime is always nostalgic for me. It reminds me of the carefree days of childhood. My early morning walks with my dog. The BBQ's and cookouts that my grandpa always loved. Watching fireworks at my grandma's house. Babysitting "my little girl" and watching "my" second dog while the family went on summer vacation. The quotes above are dedicated to ALL of my loved ones now gone...but these next ones are specifically for the greatest and hardest loss of all, my sweet angel and best friend in the world. The one who's death still hurts the most. The o...

I've been TERRIBLE at blogging during Hanson month!! 😩 There's been a lot going on...stay tuned for an update...but I couldn't let May slip by without giving a review of Hanson's 2023 Member EP Ambient . It's beautiful and unique and 100% Hanson and I've been really enjoying it! I wouldn't say this tops White Rabbit ... but it's still a really solid EP! I'M READY - My FAVORITE track from Ambient. It immediately made me think of Running by NF (since NF is all I was listening to up until now, haha. I've had his HOPE album on repeat!). It's the perfect follow-up song. Hanson, as always, encourages positivity and belief in oneself, which is where NF is headed. And is where I am trying to get to. It's so beautiful! This song is a new theme song for me as I try to "begin again." Reset my life. Start Over. Take new risks and challenge myself to live more fully. It's such a good song! 💜🙌😭  Favorite line(s): "Well I’...
