We are all challenged in so many ways nowadays – every single one of us on this planet. Some days more, some days less. I wanted to make a meme that might touch everyone, and would give you hope, some encouragement, no matter what you are dealing with today. Here’s what I came up with.
Does this work for you?
And then … a note on social media, that ever-hungry, (sometimes) beast that would like to devour our time. But here’s something I really like about it, particularly on Instagram. I am finding so much new music to love, thanks to people I follow who share it on posts and reels.
That I am being exposed to music in different genres, from different cultures, in different styles – it just makes my heart sing. The following is one of the loveliest pieces I have heard in a while. I guess you would call it folk/pop (?), and the song is “Bloom” by Lullanas. Thanks to @sawsanakar for opening my ears and heart to this piece. I hope you enjoy it.
May you be well, looking forward to an enjoyable weekend, and maybe just a little inspired.
Still A Dreamer 
Thanks for the boosts, Jeanne; kind of you to share! Hope your weekend will offer peace and joy.

That’s the sweetest song Jeanne…and the quote is words to live by. Nothing worthwhile comes easily, but those things are the most rewarding in the long run. 🙌

Thanks, Barb. I literally just heard that song hours earlier when it was featured in a post of someone I follow. I was so taken by its sweetness, too. Glad you like it. And yes – its being worthwhile is what we need to keep our eyes and hearts on. 😊❤️

Me, too. Just this morning, making coffee in the kitchen, I heard a song that I’d completely forgotten about … from 1998. I will add it to my list for Ride the Music. The language is pretty raw, which I don’t mind, but maybe not for my blog and OK on Instagram. But the message – don’t judge another unless you’ve walked in their shoes – is one that I’m open to in any genre of music. This is hip-hop/blues/rock. If interested – by Everlast – “What It’s Like (to Sing the Blues) – https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=qA1nGPM9yHA

Yeah….it’s funny but once you start doing this, songs just jump out at you! Keep a list going while you’re in inspiration mode. That’s a good one Jeanne. Thank you for sharing!

So glad you like this. I post a segment every week on Instagram on music and songs I just love – cutting across time, genres, etc. – and this song came to my attention the day before I was going to post someone else, and I knew this had to cut in. Another great song of theirs (there are several) is Queen of Disaster. Check on YouTube. I love their sound.
Are you on Instagram?

No, not on Instagram, twitter or facebook. WP is more than enough. 🙂

I get that! Like it or not, I now have to be on more social media – kicking and screaming all the way – to promote my children’s book and other endeavors that I will soon have going to pay my bills. It’s a double-edged sword, to be sure.
