I’ve been meme tagged by Anewlis…I am awful at critiquing music, so here goes my version:
Here are the rules: “List seven songs you are
into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or
even if they’re not any good, but they must be songs you’re really
enjoying now, shaping your spring summer. Post these instructions in
your blog along with your seven songs. Then tag seven other people to
see what they’re listening to.”
Selfish
Vivian Green
This has been my mantra...I'm selfishly reclaiming me, I'm done with being what everyone else needs me to be...
Hate on Me
Jill Scott
This song also hits home because of my situation...hate on me hata, now or lata, cuz I'm gonna be me...
Moving Mountains
Usher
I just heard this for the first time today, but it spoke to me again regarding my situation, its gonna be like moving mountains, but nothing is impossible.
The Letter
Raheem Devaugn
Again...lol...speaks to my situation, she leaves him a break up letter, says that that there was nope hope for her broken heart and signed it Heartbreak. It's a hidden track on his Love Experience cd.
Beautiful
India A.rie
I finally started listening to tracks on cd's that were not being played on mainstream radio and found that I love this one!
Better Days
Dianne Reeves
This song is my all time favorite and has been for about 10 years now, I first heard it on gospel radio and began a search that led me to this jazzy lady. Her grandmother was a sage. You won't get to better days unless you make it thru the night.
Take Me or Leave Me
Rent
What can I say? This song epitomizes what I feel right now, if you don't like who I am, please leave...hit the door and don't let it hit you!

Before I was a Mom:
I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby.
I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous.
I never thought about immunizations.
Before I was a Mom:
I had never been puked on.
Pooped on.
Chewed on.
Peed on.
I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts.
I slept all night.
Before I was a Mom:
I never held down a screaming child so doc tors could do tests. Or give shots.
I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.
I never sat up late h ours a t night watching a baby sleep.
Before I was a Mom:
I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put her down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt.
I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much.
I never knew that I could love someone so much.
I never knew I would love being a Mom.
Before I was a Mom:
I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body.
I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby.
I didn't know that bond between a mother and her ch ild.
I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important and happy.
Before I was a Mom:
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every
10 minutes to make sure all was okay.
I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom.
I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much, before I was a Mom.
