Steps To My Perfect Soundtrack
Playlists are the soundtracks of our lives. They say who we are as people, what we love, what we hate and what we desire. Music has the ability to take us places we didn’t know we needed to go and allows us the space to express our feelings in ways we didn’t know we needed.

Anti-Valentine's Rhyme's and Vibes
I didn’t notice until now, but Anti-Valentine’s Music is FILLED with songs to BELT in the shower. Personally, my singing is best done when drowned out by the pouring hot waters of my shower. It’s also where my best crying can get done, but that’s just an added bonus.

The Anti-Valentines Playlist
So recently I had been going through a divorce. I was in shock at first, didn't know why and I was trying to save my marriage. Well, after so long some information came to light and I became very angry and just melted inside. I lost myself for a little bit in my emotions and listening to really, sappy, lovey-dovey, I want you back so bad type of songs. Well when I snapped back to reality I came up with a new playlist. It wasn't a playlist to say that I hatted her for wanting a divorce, it was a playlist to help keep me level in my search for myself and a mostly I don't want you back kind of songs that are needed for any kind of break-up. So I present to you my one and only Ultimate Break Up or Anti-Valentines Playlist.

20 Black Love Songs For the Perfect Valentine's Day. Top Story - February 2021.
February doesn't get enough credit for being one of the best months of the year. From it being Black History Month to Valentine's Day on the 14th to the freaking Super Bowl, there is a lot to celebrate in this short month (at least, if you live in the U.S.). And what is any celebration without music? Boring, that's what.

11 Songs That Help Write Dark Humor To Be Bold and Bleak
There are a plethora of songs that have a happy sound that actually can be stretched to be the anthem for antagonistic characters, sleazy situations, or tweaked for turmoil within the topic of the plot. Over the years, I've found many songs that I've analyzed to be used for the creative assistance of dark humor. I love to hear a song that is too happy for the dark undertone. but at the same time, it fits perfectly because it's something that normally wouldn't be heard at all during a dire situation. Depending on what character you are creating for the tricky turmoil they are in or the way they are. A certain tune might be what you need to tweak that turmoil your characters are in.

2020 in Shuffle Mode
989 songs are in my most recent playlist - "Late Fall 2020" and I'm about to use that playlist to create "Winter 2021" - keeping the songs I still want to listen to right now, shedding the Christmas music and other songs I've grown tired of. I joke that my playlist has multiple personality syndrome and I'm kind of right. Spotify says I listened to 416 music genres this year, and these are usually all on the same playlist, played in shuffle mode. I get bored with too much of the same thing, so I load up my playlists and skip songs as needed. It was hard coming up with a sampler of 20 songs that got me through the year, but here is a sample.

2020 Soundtrack
2020 has been a challenging year for all. The pandemic has been compared to both world wars and all the other health pandemics before them. With a new vaccine on the way, there is a message of hope. Until the vaccine becomes safe and available to all, the world works on becoming tighter neighbours and some people have done whatever it took bring smiles to those less fortunate.

The Playlist That Kept My Kids Sane Throughout The Pandemic
In early March when the kids were about to go on Spring Break, there were rumors going around the district forums that the kids may not be returning to school because of this mysterious virus we had limited information on. It went from the district delaying 2 weeks to a full month, and then we got the call they wouldn't be returning at all. I was in straight panic mode. My kids both 4 and 2 now both have autism. They thrive on structure and routine, and not to mention they were getting services through the special education department.

My Year in Song
January: Better by Khalid The year started off hopeful, as usual. Armed with my list of resolutions, I felt ready for anything. I was prepared to fight off my mental demons and achieve my dream body for the fifth year in a row. The new semester was coming and with it, new opportunities for genuine connections and happiness. I felt a great sense of euphoria. The essence of these feelings was perfectly captured by the song Better by Khalid.

My 2020 Soundtrack
As 2020 finally finds itself on the way out and we blow our noisemakers alone in our living rooms this Thursday offering it good riddance, we have to do these requisite round ups of the year that was. I have no idea why, apparently it's the law or something.
