My Favorite...

Music, musicians, songs, lyrics, etc!! Music is my life...it's proven that music makes you smarter, too! Seriously! I love music and so I decided it was a blog-worthy post! Make sure you pause my playlist! I know this is a lot of music...but you can listen to it over a long period of time if you want!


Artists:
David Archuleta. Why? Well...for one, he's a really good kid, secondly he sings clean, positive, upbeat songs that make you feel good, and three, he has so much SOUL and PASSION! His music is not like everyone else's!
  • "Complain" - This song has a powerful message. You'll see. My favorite lyrics are: "But as long as I'm breathin', baby I can't complain". It's true! Check it out here:

 Sara Bareilles. I am in total awe of her. She has SO much talent. I heard somewhere that she never had a music lesson in her life...she learned the piano all by herself. I wish I could do that. She has a beautiful voice and as a musician, she is one my role models.
  • Gravity is one my favorites, but it's already on my playlist. "Bottle It Up"- Check this music video out! I love her piano skills!

Mindy Gledhill. She is a new favorite. I honestly didn't know who she was until just recently. (Thanks Whitney!) I love her style of music. I've learned that acoustic, simple music is my favorite. I love the style, I love the melody, I love the message, I love her!
  • "Whole Wide World"- A new favorite! It's so cute! Listen here:

Michael Buble. I love his voice...LOVE IT! He has such a smooth, powerful voice that I fall in love with over and over again. Every song hits me straight in the heart, because he's such a good musician.
  • "Everything"- If my future husband can sing this to me, I'll be content. Favorite lyrics: "And I get to kiss you baby because I can!" What a good lookin' man!:

Josh Groban. I could fall asleep to his voice every night. He is so soothing and relaxing. It makes my heart melt. *sigh*
  • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uIQp9Dqcrw. 
  • This song is so beautiful. Please. Enjoy "To Where You Are" by Josh Groban. "A breath away's not far to where you are".
Michael Jackson/Jackson 5.  Oh yeah! I could dance to his music all day. He is a musical genius. I love it.
  • Try listening to this song with at least tapping your foot! "Blame it on the Boogie":

Whether it be a hymn, a love song, a dance song, or just an instrumental, music affects me. Music is a language I can understand. 


"...Music can be so much more than just entertainment. It can be an act of communion, a dialogue in sound, sacred or soulful, happy or sad, intense or soothing; it can cover the entire spectrum of human emotions." -David Archuleta

10 Things to Do When You're Having A Hard Time

Image
Imagine a world where the sun is always shining, there is no temptation, weakness, or sin. The grass is always green, hair is always shiny, flowers never die, people never misbehave, no illness exists, and the sky is always blue. Imagine also a world where you never felt joy, you never laughed, you never sang or danced in the kitchen. There was no sweet – there was no color, there was no life. There was no righteousness, no growth, no children, no family. Oddly enough, these are the same world. When we chose God’s plan, we knew that this life would be difficult. Our whole purpose in coming to Earth is to be tried and tested. Yet, sometimes when life gets hard, we forget that we CHOSE this. There must needs be an opposition in all things. Proverbs 3:5-6 states: “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all ways acknowledge Him and He will direct thy paths.” 1. Realize and understand your divine nature as a child of God. There is

Ah, Lovely Scarlet Pimpernel

Well, The Scarlet Pimpernel is now over. Sad life. I enjoyed it so much. You know, I don't know what it is about theatre...it doesn't even matter if you have a part or not...theatre is happiness. It brings joy. Joy to all those who participate. Joy to the actors, and joy to the audience. And there's something extra special about a musical. Music is also joy. So, double the joy! :) I feel the same way I did when I quit dance. I feel like I've been separated from my family. I feel like I've moved away from home and from everything that I love. Although this isn't quite true, I do miss my cast family very much. However, I will say...there's something extraordinary about a smaller cast. You really have time to connect and bond with each other. But I really feel like this cast was amazing. I've become so close with all of them. I would just like to spend a few minutes to thank all of those that are really special. (Sorry, I don't have any pictur

A Year and a Half Sacrifice (Or Two Years)

So my sister is coming home today! Today at 5:55 PM, I will see my sister, Katie, face-to-face for the first time in 18 months. A year and a half... She was serving a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, joining, the thousands of missionaries in the world, and my 4 brothers, and my dad. I was thinking the other day, how crazy it is that I haven't seen her in so long! I'm so excited I can't even contain it! But I'm glad. I'm glad her and all my brothers and my dad all sacrificed 2 (or 1 1/2 years) to invite others to come unto Christ. If it were for any other reason, I'd be sad. I mean...I HAVEN'T SEEN MY SISTER IN A YEAR AND A HALF. But I'm glad it's because she was on a mission. I'm happy. Can you tell? P.S. Does anyone know why my blog paraphraphs all mush into one? I press enter and separate them, but they don't separate, unless I make it a bulleted list? I'm so confused.
