Oh, how I love music.  I love singing it, I love listening to it, and I love writing it.  Today I wanted to write about one of my passions...music. 

Ever since I was a young girl I have loved music.  It of course helped that my family was full of music lovers.  My dad was a D.J. at one point and so we constantly listened to different types of music.  Both of my sisters and my mom sing, my brother plays several different instruments like the guitar and drums and I play the piano and flute.  

Growing up when I was upset about something...what did I do?  I turned to music.  When I was scared of something, I would turn on some music and focus on the lyrics or the instruments.  When I was happy I BLASTED music...every chance I could get. 

Music has always penetrated deep down to my core.  It is a part of who I am.  A song of different sorts can change my outlook on a day, can make me sad or happy and it can relax and calm me.  

As a teenager when I had my own bedroom, I would most nights fall to sleep listening to music as it soothed my mind and my body.  Music has always made me feel safe and comfortable. 

I know that my Heavenly Father has blessed me with this love and passion.  Music has so much power and strength.  It lift you up when you are in your deepest moments, it can express to someone you love how you feel and it can bring out an inner child...at least it has for me.  

Some of my favourite movies are ones that have music throughout.  One of my most favourite movies is The Sound of Music.  Besides the story line I love the music.  I love how happy and cheerful the music is.  I love how their emotions are worn on their sleeves during the Edelweiss performance.  I sooo LOVE singing the Lonely Goatheard.....in a fun accent and I could go on and on and on(I'm sure you've got my point).

Anyway...what brought this topic on you wonder?  Well this week my mom let me borrow one of her cds and it's the soundtrack from a movie called 17 Miracles.  One of the songs on that cd seriously is amazing.  I cannot listen to it enough.  I love instrumental music, I love how beautiful the sounds of different instruments sound all together.  This song seriously was one of those songs that made my whole body tingle and brought tears to my eyes....literally.  

I want to share it with you.  The entire song is beautiful, but the parts of the song that move me are from the time : 2:05-2:50 .  





So the next time that you maybe are sad, are lonely or bored...or even happy play a song.  Allow music to uplift you, and to inspire you.  Music is a very powerful thing.  It can help you feel loved and fill you with total and pure happiness.  

So that's what I think, and I'm sticking to it.  Night all :)

Magrath Days...

Well, as usual I've waited a long time to post something. Nothing really new or exciting has gone on, so I use that as an excuse I suppose. OF COURSE it's not a good excuse, but I use it as one none the less. Yest., was Magrath Days, and it was super fun! The parade was great. We sat with my parents and the Towells. After that, we had a nice lunch at my parents house, where everyone in the fam. was their. I was able to participate in something really fun in the afternoon. Back in November, 2008 our young womens class did a time capsule where we wrote letters to ourselves. Our teach at that time, also made a video of us during one of our activities. I must say, I was SUCH A DORK! But if that's the worst thing I can say, then I'm doing pretty good right?! Anyway, it was fun to read the words that I hoped for myself. Unfortunately, I didn't say much. But there were a few things that I did say, like : always treat others kindly, always love my family and sta

Six Months...

I sure wish that I was better at this...but here I am 6 months later...oops! Well it was a super busy summer.  We put off doing any renos in our house and did outside renos.  Our project this year was taking down our old fence, and putting up a new one.  We unfortunately didn't get everything else done that we needed to. I'm sure we could have gotten the other projects done if money (which seems to ALWAYS be the problem right??!)   hadn't have been in our way! But oh well..I'm thankful that we got as far as we did.  This past week the weather started to get super cold, so I think that we're outta luck for finishing up anything else for outside this year. I am really excited.....because this is my favorite time of the year.  Richard and I make our Halloween Costumes every year(at least this is the 4th year) and it's been so much fun. This year we're dressing up as Mario and Princess Peach.  It's going to be great.   So we've got that on the
