Music Heals.
Someone asked me recently “What's been healing you lately?” & it took me a second to come up with an answer. Many people know i’m on a journey this year. When my mom passed away it all of a sudden became a journey of discovery. What life is like without her. What decisions I make from here on in aren't guided by her wealth of knowledge.
So what is healing me lately? I answered “Music.” ♫♩♬♪
How true that is.
I’ve gone deep into my catalog this year. From Van She to Nico Vega & Tweet I got into my catalog and just felt it all. So much so that I named my Apple Music playlist “feel it all”. It's my healing journey all in one place. My favorite place to be when I'm home and need a distraction. I cry with it. I laugh at it. I am it.
When I found my mom's vinyl collection it made it all the more wonderous. I got to deep dive into what she loved as she grew up in the ’60s, ’70s & ’80s. I found first press editions of some very popular music that are so hard to find now. I got to peek into her mind. What music made her happy or made her dance? I’m still combing through it. I’m bringing so much of it home.
So that's it. That's my answer. Its music. I get to dance and sing. I get to feel it through me. I get to open up my creativity. I get to be.
If you'd like to, let me know what’s healing you lately below…
