Music

It is funny how music soothes the soul. I love to sing to my daughter and with her. So it is funny how the songs I choose to sing to her are feel good songs. I always compliment my daughter and when I put an outfit on her ask her if she feels beautiful.

I am 1 of 3 girls so we grew up relying on ourselves and were taught to be confident and strong women.  I notice I push those traits on my daughter even though she is so young I want her to grow up to feel confident in who she is and how she looks regardless of what others around her may say. I want her to depend on herself and be self sufficient. I want her to marry someone one day because she wants to not because she depends on him financially or emotionally.

My father always made sure whenever we went on a date we had money in our pocket and didn't expect anyone to pay for us. He wanted us to depend on ourselves. Those lessons stuck with me through my whole life. I mean after all I was not elected class feminist for no reason, I am a believer in equality and women rights.

I also believe we all have this vision of who we should be and not who we really are.  We all need to realize that "Life is not about finding yourself, it's about creating yourself."George Bernard Shaw

So I will posting some feel good songs that I think you too will enjoy! Please feel free to suggest any feel good songs you enjoy and I will post them! Thanks!
