You've got the music in you!


 
"We have the dreamers disease"
-
People dream and then when that dream doesn't come true, they give up. But everyone has music in them.  Music has the ability to make you feel like you can fly! It has the ability to make you feel like anything is possible!
-
We only get what we give,
don't give up
you've got the music in you!

Sweet Serendipity


 
Life is about being grateful for what you have. Something I have learned is that you don't need to have a million dollars or the latest electronic to be happy.
I have the greatest family I could ever ask for, friends that make me laugh, and home to live in. 

The Butterfly Circus


 
The only thing I can say about this is that it is 100% true! Not the story, but the meaning.  If you believe what other people tell you, you will eventually turn into what they think you are.  But if you believe you are something else, something spectacular, guess what? :)

I'm not saying join a circus or give up, but try to do your very best everyday and it will be worth it!

I'm not FRAGILE



I don't want to come across as "In your face! What you think doesn't matter!" I simply want to say:

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me

-
you didn't think I could walk through fire
come out strolling out on the other side.
-

I bruise easily, but I'm not easily broken. 


Respect all and fear none

Lyrics:
I love it when artists/bands put lyrics out there that empower or motivate people! Music is the food of the soul (I know I sound like a hippie) But it is true :) Music is brave and when there is a song that has lyrics that challenge or are totally out there, I RESPECT THEM! I may not agree, but they are letting the world know what they think, through song.

People:
Always respect others opinions. Respect your own as well.  Here is how you do that: Speak up and let people know how you feel or what you think :) In school, controversial topics come up all the time, I don't argue, I simply voice my opinion.  Finally, fear none.  Don't be afraid of how people will react and how they will respond.  Stand your ground because it is what you believe.

Endangered Species (I am a woman!)



Women have come a long way in the past centuries. I love the lyrics:
 -
I am an endangered species
but I sing no victims song
I am a woman
I am an artist
I know where my voice belongs!
-
Women should be empowered by this! And men should respect independent women! 

Just....shake it out :)



You will have days where you feel like you nothing is going right for you. LISTEN TO THIS SONG WHEN YOU HAVE DAYS LIKE THAT! Dance like no one is watching and dance and 'shake' all of your stress away :) It works :) If this song doesn't work, find a song with an upbeat tempo and makes you feel good :)

SHAKE IT OUT! 
:)

This time is ours!


 

Life is not measured by the breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.
-
I agree! I love this song because it portrays exactly how all of us feel when "all good things must come to an end" We want moments to last forever - who doesn't?

Our War - Neon Trees (lyrics)



 
I love the beginning of this song! It reminded me of how strong and innocent the world seemed when we were little.
-
When we were in our youth
we had dreams that we could fly
we had friends that weren't visible
and love that never died.

And as we grew old and felt the pain
we always knew the truth
that love would heal if we stayed true
To the dreams of our youth.
-
I believe in that statement 100%! When we grow up, the world fights with us more than ever! We were sheltered and protected as children but now we have to fight our own battles.  Its songs like this that give the me hope and strength to keep me going (Along with my friends and family who help me so much :D) Find ways to build yourself up when the world is tearing you down :)

Listen and Love! :)


 

Another song from the The Vow soundtrack :) The instrumental is beautiful and the lyrics have meaning.  The way his voice sounds is so different and its kind of a cheesy love song, but - I love it all the same.
-
On the other hand, the lyrics made me realize something.  Pictures are worth a thousand words, why not a thousand lyrics?! I often associate people with a certain song or genre of music. I will listen to a song and a name of someone I know will pop into my head.  I will look at pictures and remember the great times I have had and think "What song was I thinking about when this picture was taken?" Although pictures are great, mental pictures are better.  You think about how you felt, what you saw, or even what you could smell during these memories.  Or in my case, what I was listening to in my head :P

Great song!



I heard this song and fell in love! This song is also on the soundtrack of The Vow (Also recommended) The entire soundtrack has excellent music and I may be posting more songs from it soon! Have a listen and smile! :) It sure made me smile :)

Make lemonade and love it! :)





Sometimes life gives you lemons and it is really hard to make lemonade - or in other words, its hard to make a negative or "sour" situation into a positive or "sweet" ones.  My world is full of these situations, but you have to make the most out of what you have. Make lemonade and love it!
