I didn’t know when I was lucky Discontented feeling bad Filled with envy For possessions other people had I found my pride had always hurt me Fought the world to gain control Not realising I was sitting on a beach of gold Oh lord I’m a poor man With all the riches I can hold […]

Day 1108- You’ve Always Had The Power
I was listening to Home by Stephanie Mills, from The Wiz. It’s one of my favorite songs. One of my favorite movies, for as long as I can remember is the Wizard Of Oz. The older I get, the more I get from that movie. As the tears were rolling down my face from the […]
Day 1104- Back On The Chain Gang
As I’m cutting the grass, listening to my playlisf a favorite from way back in the day comes up. And, once again, it’s a song that has taken on an entirely different meaning for me. I listen to it twice. As it’s playing the second time, I look up and a dragonfly is circling the […]
Day 1081- Ain’t It Fun?
Shayna likes to send this song to me. Tywana and I are coming back from Costco. Typically, I’m listening to politics, the 70s station, the 80s station, or maybe something on my iPhone rarely do I turn on normal radio. But, I turn on The Pulse on Sirius just as Ain’t It Fun by Paramore […]
Day 1067- Coming Out Of The Dark
Why be afraid if I’m not alone Though life is never easy the rest is unknown Up to now for me it’s been hands against stone Spent each and every moment Searching for what to believe Coming out of the dark, I finally see the light now It’s shining on me Coming out of […]
Day 1063- Higher Ground
This journey gets hard sometimes. Being human, we can get caught up in the day-to-day and forget that we are much more than these bodies. Yesterday, I was trying to encourage a fellow Shining Light parent and told her that we need to shift to a higher perspective when things overwhelm us. I listened […]
Day 1042- Somehow
This song always takes me straight to heaven. It starts off understated and builds to a powerful crescendo with a last verse that brings on waves of goosebumps. The vocals, the lyrics, the visuals are are perfect. Even the expressions on the faces of the people listening in the studio are transcendental. Watch full […]
Day 696- A Place With No Name
I don’t know if Michael had an NDE, but this song is about an NDE. As I drove across on the highway My jeep began to rock I didn’t know what to do so I stopped and got out And looked down and noticed I got a flat So I walked out, parked the car […]
Day 689- Effortless
For my five miles every day I have different goals. If I’m feeling good, I’ll put on some music and go for time. If I’m feeling down, I’ll put on a Podcast and walk. Some days I might stroll and meditate. This morning, the sun is shining, it’s in the mid 40s. It feels like […]
Day 669 Higher Ground
I have always loved the song “Standing On Higher Ground” by Alan Parsons. I’m sure I’ve listened to it hundreds of times. I’ve always felt a little bit guilty, a little arrogant, cocky even because I could always so closely identify with the idea of looking at things from a different perspective and, in the song, […]
