for the journey...
seattle sunset, august 08
did you say you were headed out...on your own...on a journey? i think you mentioned that. i think you mentioned you were on your way...headed around a new corner, walking down a different street. i think that is what you are up to. i think you mentioned you were doing something just for you these days...thinking about focusing on yourself for a bit. leaning forward into life and love and hope.
is that what you are up to these days?
yes?
well, i'd like to share some songs i am taking along with me. i thought you might want to listen to a few. maybe even all of them.
in this very order.
i think they might give you exactly what you need. right now. because i think you just might need a dance break, a few songs for singing, a song to sing to one you love, a song to sing to you, a song for twirling, a song or two for remembering, a song to remind you that you are not alone, a song to tuck you in at night, a song to keep you going and to make you laugh and to let the tears gently fall....and...of course...some tina turner.

as always - thank you.
your posts are so often like a letter straight to me from the universe - I love it. I'm building the playlist in napster at the moment - it's such an intriguing mix of songs I love and songs I don't know. I love the barenaked ladies, they have that mix of humour and pain that gets us all through life.
wow...great songs...and beautiful photo.
