Fierce New Tunes

This post has been long overdue! It has been waiting in drafts for me for far too long. I need to share with you these artists: Neu and Two Lions & A Lady. Neu has been a great addition to my spin class playlists as his beats are deep and melodic. They get me smiling [...]

[Spoiler Alert] Ellen DeGeneres dances on SYTYCD

For the season’s finale of So You Think You Can Dance, the judges select their favourite dances from the season to be performed one more time. It is amazing to revisit how far the dancers have come and be reminded of how incredibly talented they all are. The most memorable dance of the season was [...]

Who Made You King of Anything?

Sara Bareilles always has a way of releasing a great new track, just when I’m ready for a new song to take the top spot on my iTunes “25 most played.” I’ve been literally rockin out to this song on repeat for the past 2 weeks and so pumped to share it. I hope you [...]

“Our Greatest Fear…

… is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your [...]

The Highlights of 2009

This post is an annual tradition it seems. The highlights of 2008 were great, but the highlights of 2009 sure do shine! <insert groans of how corny that was here> Why was this a great year? Let me share with you some of the incredible memories I have of the year gone by: January Presenting [...]

2009 in a Musical Mash-up

Last year I wrote a post about the power of music and included DJ Earworm’s mash-up of the Top 25 Billboard Hits of 2008. If you didn’t get a chance to listen to it, here it is again: Well, he has done it again for 2009! Another great mix of the songs that have made [...]

As I plan my Christmas parties and other festivities, I’m also reminding myself of the power music has on communities and planning my playlists accordingly. I am currently hunting down the right tunes for each mood, [...]
