The Power Of Music....

I come from a very musical family and music has always been a big part of my life. I can still remember when I was young and we would all sit on the verandah and my brothers would be playing their guitars and we would all be singing.
When we all get together for special occasions (we are 10 sibblings, I am the youngest...) it is always a big part of the evening to sit together and sing beautiful songs...special moments and memories for every age..my 12 year old son loves it!!
When I am in a great mood I always hum a favorite song. I always have the radio on in the house and in the car, it is a great way to unwind and forget about daily challenges that you may be living.
Just imagine western's and scary movies without music. If movies did not have music in the background , it would be so boring and it really wouldn't have the same impact on us. I remember when I was younger I would watch Soap Operas and how the music would really build up to the climax and it would just give me shivers.
Music is a very powerful tool, it can get you very excited, relax you, make you sad, make you happy...it can also bring lots of great benefits to your daily life.
I will share with you 4 special songs that always touch my heart. There are many but these four really have a special reaction when I hear them.

This was our first song on our wedding day 18 years ago. It is called "Always" by Atlantic Starr.

The next song that I absolutely love is "Hallejuiah" from the movie Shrek. This is one that always brings a tear to my eye. A very powerful song filled with great emotions.

Celine Dion is one of my favorite singers and a Canadian at that. She is also the youngest from a large musical family. She had difficulties conceiving as I did and followed fertility treatments to conceive her children. I love her song "I'm alive" because when you are going through all of the emotions of trying to conceive it is very stressful and emotionally draining and this song would always lift my spirits.

The next song has quickly become one of my favorites. It is by Bruno Mars and I absolutely love the meaning in this song and the video itself is amazing. It's called "Just the Way You Are".

  

I hope that you've enjoyed all of these great songs. Take time to pick out your favorites in your lifetime, songs that have a special meaning in your life. It can deal with when you were younger, your first date, wedding day, birth of a child...etc....The best things in life are free and this is one luxury that I don't plan on ever giving up.

Stay healthy....enjoy!!!!
