Day 132 - Tuesday, August 5, 2008

Paramore and Panic! at the Disco

One thing I do with my job is choose what kind of music would be appropriate for the clients and work with. I hear recommendations from them and then when I am able to get the CD, I listen to one of the songs, and then generally after that, listen to the music I like and just look up the lyrics online to see the content of the songs. Today I decided to actually listen to two of the CDs and try to experience new music before a session. Panic! at the Disco and Paramore had been recommended but some clients that I wasn't too sure if they would be listening to "appropriate" music for their treatment. But I decided to give it a try and not judge. The music was better than I thought, and I enjoyed listening to it.

Day 109 - Sunday, July 13, 2008 - Chanting Time!

The POWER of CHANTING

In my church, I am in charge of giving a small presentation to the women regarding music. I decided to teach the women a song I use at work. This was in a sense unorthodox in my culture to teach a chant during this time. But it turned out to be a great success. This is the chant. If we had time we would have sung it to each women specifically:

Everyone you are beautiful
Everyone you are strong
Wonderful to be with
You carry us along
Everyone you belong.
