Slow Fall!

The fall season has begun, but the weather is still in summer mode in my area. Fall being my favorite season, I am trying to be patient for the changes in the weather since the cold weather season lasts longer here in Michigan. So I’m not trying to rush cold weather, but I am excited for sweater weather and cozy meals. This week’s list comes from a place of expectation and calm. Protecting my peace has been my main focus lately, and music helps keep my mood calm and in a great head space.

Since the summer weather is still holding on, but fall on the horizon, this week’s list kind of fits both seasonal moods well.

Joyful!

Life has been chaotic the past five years, for everyone that is. One thing I have learned over these years is that life is also too short to settle. I gained so many wins and blessings, that life started to seem better. I felt lighter and happy in general. I let go of a lot of things I had no control over, so I took control of what I could…me. I started to attract things and people with similar mindsets and energy. I am in such a better place and now I want to celebrate joy any chance I get.

I was in a workshop and the topic of gratitude was the focus. It was mentioned to do something that brings yourself joy, no matter what that looks like, but music came up. So I said that I would make a joy playlist because music always makes me happy. So here it is!!

Everything from alternative to reggae. As an adult, I listen to music pretty much all day. Even when I am not listening to music, I have various songs in my head at all times. When I’m cleaning, I definitely listen to music, either on a speaker or headphones. One day I was doing a full house clean and the random list I was listening to really had my in a serious groove. There were artists and songs I’d never heard before, and I was really enjoying the flow. I put together a list of songs that stood out, and I hope you enjoy them as well.

Momma Inspired | 3.30.24

I love music, hence the playlists, and the person who introduced me to music is my mother. I was exposed to an array of music styles and artists growing up, and even now I strive to find unknown and unique artists and songs that speak to my overall aesthetic. Music is something I listen to everyday and randomly have in my head (I swear I’m going to make a playlist of the songs that pop into my head randomly). Well, this playlist is inspired by my mom and some of the songs that she either introduced me to, loves herself, or just make me think of her. I know it’s not Mother’s Day or anything, but you don’t need a special holiday to honor your parents.
