Day 512...Year 2

One of my life long friends wrote the following post on FB today:

I revisited some old music today, and found that while I didn't really connect with it a few decades ago, now I completely get it and actually crave it. It occurred to me at a change in musical preference most definitely indicates a change in oneself.. Whether it is actual spiritual, mental or emotional growth, or just parallel change in any of those realms. I am absolutely not the same person I was then, or even 5 years ago. To the opposite effect, music i cherished back then doesn't move me the way it did. Just personal reflections today... It does make me excited to always seek out new music, because there is no telling what will strike a chord with me in the future! :)

It really struck a chord in me and made me take stock of my own musical tastes and feelings and how they evolved over the years...

I love all kinds of music but no matter what age I am, I will always have a heart for Contemporary Christian Music... When I sing CCM, it makes my spirit soar... For me, when I am singing it's worship, it's passion and love... My heart swells and I just feel better...

For those that are still getting to know me... I have a vocal music degree from Webster University, I was once a member of our church praise team back home and I am a coloratura soprano... My musical idol is Sandi Patty... My mom introduced me to CCM when I was in Elementary School and I immediately fell in love...

I have to say my music taste has changed some as I have aged and there are certain groups that don't move me as they once did... You might say they no longer have the "Right Stuff," to get me excited and breathless... But no matter what music is my love and my passion...

Love, peace and passion...

For my friend that requested more musical performances, this is for you...

Day 649...Year 2 #RememberingCory

Tonight the TV show Glee memorialized Finn Hudson, who had been played by actor Cory Montieth, until his death this summer... I was a beautiful tribute to the character of Finn... The music was incredibly heart wrenching and I'm sure I am not alone when I say that I cried from the moment Mercedes' music began until the screen went to black at the end of the episode... I admire the writers of Glee for how they handled his passing, by not putting a name to it's cause; despite everyone knowing the actual cause of Cory's death... I know the cast were following their scripts, but I believe their emotions were true... The one thing I wish they would have played was a montage of Finn's character, perhaps with "Don't Stop Believing" as the background music... That was the song that started it all for the show and I believe it is the one everyone that is a fan remembers the most... This show allowed us as fans, a true opportunity to mourn Cory's pa

So, the phonelines are down at my house so no internet but thamlfully my phone is cooperating with me. so this may come as a shock to some but I started seeing an acupuncturists last week to help me with my sinus problems. I can hear some of the critics now saying I'm going against my beliefs but I believe it takes just as much space to trust in eastern medicine as it does in western medicine, besides I believe that God led me to a place that can finally help me feel better without having to take all of those medicines all the time. since december I have been to the doctor every month at least once a month for a sinus infection, in the past week I have slept so well and I am finally breathing better. I thank God everyday for bringing this place to my attention and for allowing me to trust this was the right move for me. what I am learning from this is that when you focus on taking care of 1 party your body many times it will also help another part of your body. just like when y

A new chapter

This has been an incredible year a half since I  began my bariatric journey and it is far from over...that is why it's a journey and not a race because there really is no end. Each day is about the choices we make and how they pan out. I will be the first to say that not all of my choices are correct but I try and learn from those decisions and move forward yet there are still lessons I have to go through over and over before it clicks. One of those being my love of food. You would think that bariatric surgery fixes that but the only thing that fix anything is making a decision to be better. All surgery does is makes your stomach smaller but even that cant fix your problems. Yes I have lost a tremendous amount of weight in a short time but I also had to decide to change how I eat. Yes, my tiny tummy talks to me and tells me what does and doesnt make it happy but if I choose not to listen and listen to my cravings, yes I still have them, I pay the price over and over.... Like
