PS how about the Bunny hop to start the Easter weekend

I think words are an amazing meaning when we want to heal our spirit. They are essential in my life... I write when I feel blue, when something worry me. And I think that the fact to put words on emotions can pull them out of us; and positively they have the power to make them real (with visualisation).

Music is vibrations. It resounds inside. It's funny to see how music can summarize our lives. That sound/song make me think of this, of that period of my life... and so on!

*there is no link with this, but something strange happened to me when I was watching your TV show some days ago !*
* I hope my english can be understood, it's not my native tongue*

Be Happy

Thank you.

Music was my mothers world and when she passed away it was to the music of her dear friend of 33 years Ronnie Milsap. We played his music for her around the clock. We even played Ronnie for her at the funeral and celebrated her life with the music she loved. Music is the window to the soul and with out it it would be a very lonely world

Thank you Lisa...for all you do and are....

Thank you Lisa,

Music does bring our vibration higher, thus closer to God.

I am singing,

A Girl after my own heart! Thanks Lisa! I have been writing poetry since I was in the fifth grade and singing just as long. They both nourish my soul no matter what is happening in my life. The day my husband was killed I couldn't sleep that night and through sobbing, wailing tears I sat and wrote a poem about him and all he brought to life. I read it at his funeral. In the almost 2 years that followed his death I thought all that creativity died with him. I was numb, couldn't write, didn't sing...just lost. I recaptured that creativity after a grief wellness cruise to Hawaii last Sept. and those creative juices have not stopped. I play music daily, sing my heart out and I create through many avenues including poetry. It is really odd how I don't even know where those words are coming from...I feel I am just the instrument to put them on paper. Thanks again for this blog because life, as everyone knows, is short...why not be the most joyful we can be...singing, writing, dancing...all of it. Well, I am headed to the shower...great acoustics there for singing! Have a great one. cindy

Great Post... music often lifts me.. i know when i am in a really crappy mood.. i can put in certain CD's (was gonna say album but didnt want to date myself LOL) and i will pick right up....music is powerful ...

glad to see the info on the retreat up.. thanks!

{{{hugs}}}

Lisa what a gift you are to all of us. I would just love to walk through your house just to get recharged and see you of course.. Have a great SPRING DAY. :)

Lisa , This post is absolute truth to me ! .. When I was ill , I know music was a large part of my healing , It would lift me from the physical turmoil my body was expierencing and just fill my soul with peace , so i could find strength again . I love music .. every kind, But certain song's can just reach into my soul and fill me with such a feeling , that is undescibable.. One is "I Can Only Imagine " it's a gospel song , Now I can truthfully say I never heard it before i got ill , But during my illness , When I would listin to this song , It was like a soul explosion ! ..Now even still to this day I get a wonderful peaceful ,surrendering, well maybe a better word be humbling, and renewed feeling in my body .. :) And yes .. I sing it to the mountain tops ! lol even though i can't carry a tune :P Thankyou for you're beautiful insight you share with us ... Xo .. p.s ... I alway's think of a song when i think of you ... It's "This little light of mine " ...I have it by the Oak Ridge Boy's .. but you come to mind everytime i hear it ... :)

i love to sing in the car and at home when no one is listening!!! my dad has always been a great musician, and i always felt he was kindof disappointed that none of us girls have musical talent and i've felt disappointed about it, too. so lately i've been trying to learn to play the guitar. it's fun for me and it will give something to our relationship that helps us bond more. he's one of those musicians who music is pretty much his entire life and it's hard for him to think of anything else.
yea, i woke up this morning and looked out my window .. the sun was shining, and i thought about how i felt inspired to write a poem. i used to be able to write poems easily .. i wish it would flow again.
i'd love to hear you sing. i hope you'll post a video for us soon, and also aren't you going to start selling jewelery on here?

Music for the soul.........

Well I have to say that one of my favorite artist is MARY J. BLIGE...she has a song out right now, JUST FINE, talk about inspirational....

If you have followed her career and seen/heard the struggle she's had, you can't help but feel whats shes saying...even if you don't.

It never fails but every time I hear that sond I cry but not because I am sad just because I feel her, I understand it and it's real.

Hello Lisa,

Today's blog was right on for me. I have enjoyed music all my life. Classical, country, folk, singing and just all kinds of music give me great joy. My mother loved it and my Dad loved to sing, so we sang alot in our family of seven kids. I especially love to do the harmony and miss having someone to sing the tunes. (my husband and daughter do the best they can, but tend to follow the strongest voice) I am always humming to the frustration of some around me. Sometimes I do not realize that I am humming.I always have a song or tune in my head.

When my brothers and sisters get together we always do alot of singing together - all those songs we heard as children. Lullabies, fun and folk songs from around the world - what a joy. My father had a lovely tenor voice and he loved to have us all sing together. My mother was the alto, three sisters soprano, the three boys all had good baritone voices. So I was lucky and was able to harmonize anywhere I wanted to. We especially loved to sing the many rounds, sometimes each taking one part. It was/is all just for the joy of singing.

I have many records, tapes and cd's that I listen to and enjoy. Music makes me happy and can fit any mood I am in.

Now that we are celebrating the First Day of Spring there are many songs waiting to be sung.

Sing along one and all.

Margot

Hi Lisa,

Just love music! Love to sing, love to write songs!
That's my way of dealing with my emotions. Music can bring me tears, bring me joy...My husband is a musician. And when my children play music together, my sons play the drums an the guitar and my daugther sings, they make me so happy and proud! Funny, my boy is just playing the piano as we speak. It brings life into your home!
Lots of love, Julie

Hey Lisa, right on! Another wonderful post! I couldn't agree with you more. My mother and grandmother always said that music soothes the savage beast......I suppose you could use that "beast" as anything.....illness, saddness, etc. It certainly does soothe the soul.
You just keep inspiring us more everyday. Lisa, you are "the being" sent to heal. You bring love and such patience. Do you ever wonder why we love you so. I see (read) people coming out of shells on here everyday! People who have been lonely beyond description and they have come to talk and say hello....thank you, Lisa! You are beautiful!!!
Love to you and the fam!!

Oh Happy Day! It's Spring and it's beautiful today!!

Jill :)

I meant to add this to my above message...had to help my dog find her bone and got sidetracked... :)

I'm "one of those" who has used a hairbrush to sing into the "microphone" all thru my childhood and guess what? I caught myself doing it this morning after putting on my CD of Dionne Warwick "Say a Little Prayer"! and yes, the dancing came right along with it! LOL!!

Have a really beautiful Spring Day with all your loved ones!!

XOXO,

Jill :)

Lisa,

You're way too young to remember this, but there was a song from Sesame Street that was later recorded by Kermit the Frog, Barbra Streisand, and many other people. The title is "Sing," and it's the very embodiment of your blog post today. Here are the lyrics:

SING

Written by Joe Raposo

Sing
Sing a song
Sing out loud
Sing out strong
Sing of good things, not bad
Sing of happy, not sad

Sing
Sing a song
Make it simple
To last your whole life long
Don't worry that it's not good enough
For anyone else to hear
Sing
Sing a song

Hugs,
Nancy C.

Music is a great tool to use in your life, to bring balance and joy. But too much music can take over your life and bring imbalance. Here's an example...

I have a great friend from my meditation group and music is his life. He spends so much of his time with his music that it consumes most of his daily life. He told me a couple of weeks ago that during a reading he was arguing with his spirit guide about the amount of time he was spending daily on his music. He needed to get out and enjoy life. I laughed and told him his spirit guide was right, don't argue with them they know whats best for you. You need balance in your life and if you spend most of your time in your home working on your music, you miss out on life. He said he loves the feeling of the music flowing through him while he's working on it, that he loses track of time. I told him to budget some time away from music to go out and enjoy life. And you know what, he took my advice! He went out with coworkers after work and he met this girl that just happened to be tagging along with someone he knew and they "hit it off" immediately. After 3 years of being single, now he's dating! I laughed when he told me a few days ago about his new girlfriend. I said to him, "See, I told you that me and your Spirit Guides were right, don't argue with "beings" of higher power!" LOL ;)

Peace & Light to all....

Lisa,
Its amazing that I found this today because I have a big solo coming up on saturday and I have been nervouse that I wont have a voice because I have been sick for a while. you are so right about how music can raise us up so high, music is my passion and singing has brought me so much joy when I have been at my lowest. Thank you for the wonderful words. big hugs, Leslie.

I LOVE singing my heart out in my car... by myself... where no one else could be tortured! But I LOVE it!

It's very true... sometimes, words put to music can express us in ways beyond mere words... It's been a healer for my soul for many many years...

Thanks for the added retreat info, Lisa!

I am a musician ..ah but not active in the pursuit anymore...gave away my studio equipment and have become creative in other ways..Oh you know "Spiritual ways" and I find that to be the music of my Soul at the moment.

Tea today is Diet Coke ..lol!

Thanks Lisa..I just love music too..have it playing whenever and wherever... and that radio in my head plays a lot too! That's also another way spirit can communicate with a song playing inside...lovely messages and sometimes funny ones too.

Much Love,

Andrea

Yes, I agree. Thank you Lisa!
Hugs, Shannon
