Songs

Finding My Muse

I lost myself somewhere along the journey of becoming a wife and a mother. I lost my self-identity and my self-worth because I had invested all of myself to my children and my spouse. I am currently on a path of rediscovery, and I have literally and figuratively found my voice again. In my youth, I used to love singing and performing, and I have started singing again (out loud) and even dabbling in song-writing.

I truly believe that messages conveyed through song can be even more powerful than spoken word. So, I am going to impart some messages that are important to me through song. Please, take a listen.

Empathy

We as people are starved and depraved of empathy these days. There is a desperate need for connection and people are looking for it in the wrong places. Sadly, some of the people who are looking for true connection are finding themselves confronted with bullies and trolls. We don’t need more hate and divisiveness. What we could really benefit from is kindness and tenderness. So, below I will sing Otis Redding’s, “Try a Little Tenderness.”

The Voice Within

For most people, life comes with its host of challenges. Human suffering is like an iceberg, and what you see is just the precipice and a fraction of its entirety. So often we are faced with hurdles and challenges, but we need to remember to listen to our inner voice. The voice within you is the one that matters most and will be your best guide along life’s journey. So, trust your inner voice. Below, you will find a video of me singing Christina Aguilera’s, “The Voice Within.”

Stand By Me

In my recent post on marriage, I talk about the idea of “standing in love.” When we stand in love, it means that we can be in love while standing on our own two feet. Although we’ve generally embraced the concept of falling in love at the beginning of a romantic relationship, standing in love is what will help carry you through that relationship without losing yourself or your independence along the way. Today, I stand in love with my spouse, and I hope that he stands in love with me too. Below you will hear me sing Ben E. King’s, “Stand By Me.”

Mind Your Own Business

So often, we underestimate the power of our assumptions, judgments, and words. Based on a single interaction or exchange, we often make assumptions and judgments and possibly even stereotype other people. However, you can’t truly know or understand a person from a single or even multiple interactions. So instead of saying something hurtful or spreading rumors about others, let’s stop and say, “maybe that person’s just having a rough day/week/month.” We need to remind ourselves of what our mama told us and start minding our own business. I have a real gem for you next. I’m going to rap! I’m bringing you back to 1993, S&P (Salt -N-Pepa) and singing, “None of Your Business.”
