Firstly, today, I'm sharing a song from my personalised music playlist that I love. The song is Glorious by MaMuse from their album "All the Way" (2009)! You can listen to Glorious by clicking here, and more information about MaMuse can be found here.
(MaMuse even create personalised songs)π
Secondly, because I believe in the power of personalised music playlists helping to improve
one's quality of life, I'm sharing with you a series called The Power of the Playlist, facilitated by
Jennifer Buchanan (Music Therapist and Founder of JB Music Therapy).
This series resonated with me on many levels, particularly Jennifer's goal "to use music about 5% more in our lifetime in a more intentional way". I wholeheartedly support this goal and want to help bring this to fruition by spreading the power of personalised music playlists.
Please check out the first video of the series here: Track 1: The Meaning of the Mixtape,
and download the accompanying workbook, too!
You can find the entire Power of the Playlist series at the link below:

Words of songs hold deep personal meaning to me.
I enjoy connecting song lyrics to special moments in my life with photos
I take that bring back memories I treasure.
See the lyrics to Glorious below, which are done in Paula Style.
As Jennifer says, "A song is never just a song!"

Oh, what a day! Glorious!
Gather ‘round
There’s nothing better
Than a friend
Oh, what a day! Glorious!
The smell of rain
Has hitched a ride
Upon the wind
I’ve got good friends
To the left of me
And good friends
To my right
Got the open sky above me
And the earth beneath my feet
Got a song inside my heart
That’s singin’
All in life is sweet
Oh, what a day!
Oh, what a day! Glorious!
All the clouds
Have gathered round
The tops of trees
Oh, what a day! Glorious!
Pitter patter
Fallin’ rain I can’t believe
All that’s green
Lifts up its leaves
Singin’ water come on in
We’ve been waiting all these days
Prayin’ you would come to quench
Every yearnin’ in our bones
Water, with you life begins
Oh, what a day!
Home is believing
Home has wings of faith
Home is a clear river of perceiving
All is well
This is a friendly mystery
Oh, what a day! Glorious!
Baby blue jay
Squawkin’ in the cherry tree
Oh, what a day! Glorious!
Deep in the night we had a raccoon robbery
Pitter patter little paws
Have left their footprints all around
Pitter patter evidence
Some fruit has fallen to the ground
Pitter patter sings my heart
At the thought of what’s to come
Oh, what a day!
Home is believing
Home has wings of faith
Home is a clear river of perceiving
All is well
This is a friendly mystery
All is well
This is a friendly mystery
Oh, what a day! Glorious!
Under the sky we slept last night
Just you and me
Oh, what a day! Glorious!
The waning moon
Our cycle is almost complete
We’ve got good friends to the left of us
And good friends to our right
We've got the open sky above us
And the earth beneath our feet
Never fear--the birds are singin’
Even endings can be sweet
Oh, what a day!
Never fear--the birds are singin’
Even endings can be sweet
Oh, what a day!
