Music gets me through everything.

I sit alone in my car with my thoughts and music is playing in the background. In fact, music is always playing in the background. I hear songs all the time and think about the soundtrack of my life.

Music is always there; To celebrate a birthday and every holiday season. Music pushes me through a workout and brings closure to a break-up. There are special songs to remind me of my first love, my first kiss, my first time and the first dance at my wedding.

Music reminds me of the many relationships in my life. There are songs that speak to the special bond I had with my mom when she was alive and songs that talk about how much I miss her now that she’s gone. There are many songs about the heartache I feel for my stillborn daughter and the woman I always dreamed she would be. I have nightly dance parties with my 6 year old as we sing our favorite songs at the top of our lungs. My husband and I sing songs and speak in lyrics as we laugh together. There is always a song to help us get through a day full of tears.

I love attending concerts and dancing the night away to my favorite bands as music comes to life. I enjoy singing every song in every Disney movie I know by heart. Musicals make the world go round! And every movie has that one song that makes that memorable, award-winning scene.

The soundtrack of my life changes every few minutes as those many songs from many different genres play in the background.
