For this #musicmonday, I’m singing a song by @manuchao called #mrbobby. :: This song is from his album “Esperanza” (which means hope) released in 2001 during the time I was studying in Madrid. I don’t think I listened to anything else. I love listening to music in different languages (especially when I understand) because you feel the power of words. :: He sings in Spanish, French, Portuguese and English. I love his songs in Spanish and will likely cover them as well, but for today his song #mrbobby felt closest to my heart. :: I heard it yesterday for the first time in a long time and was transported back to Spain. My heart was astonished at how relevant it still is 17 years later!! :: The other cool thing about this song, is that it’s actually the same chords as his other song #bongobong from his first album, #Clandestino. He just used them again and put different words on it. Why not? :: I incorporated both here- Bongo bong and Mr. Bobby. I love the idea of singing to Bob Marley saying, “come on, we need some more of your wisdom and love- this world is going crazy-it’s an emergency.” :: It truly is.

He searched for me that night. To be the star in his moonless sky cuz he was looking for someone to take him home. Yeah was looking for somebody so he won’t be alone. :: I felt him close to me. But not as close as I wanted to be cuz there’s a distance in his eyes and in his smile...and we’ll never go the distance cause there’s too many miles. :: Wrote this one on my trip to Italy. It’s one of those that I can’t believe I wrote- that I don’t remember writing. :: That’s the beauty of co- creating. There’s a force greater than us that takes over if we let it. :: Some songs take more work-and that’s great too. This one, however, was bestowed upon me and I feel proud to share. ::

“If I stopped the fantasy, and I saw what it’s front of me, I could change my point of view, and this time it wouldn’t include you. :: And maybe if I start to let it go Then all my blues would turn into gold” :: A lot of my songs are reminders to myself about being in the present. This one is no exception. :: It is definitely a fan favorite when I play it at shows. I’m happy that listeners take from it what they need. :: It’ll be on my new album. Super excited to share it. :: For the full video go to my fb page.

This... :: Trust is my new old word. Trust that what is for me will not pass me. Trust in the timing of things. Trust in myself. Trust in the universe. :: It’s not as easy as one might think. Because it requires trusting and having faith in what one cannot see. But I suppose thats what taking a leap of faith and trusting is. :: It it comes, let it. It it goes;let it. :: #mondaymusings #mondaymantra #musicmonday #letitbe #breatheinbreatheout #everythingineediswithinme #letitgo #letitcome #inspiration #everythingineediswithinme #musicislove #musicislife #songsoflife #wordstoliveby #gowiththeflow #trust #trustyourself #spirituality #practicemakesprogress #blindfaith #whatisformewillnotpassme

Today I stubbed my toe at kick- boxing class (and I think it might be broken). :: I have a rash all over my legs from who knows what. (I went to the Dr. And he prescribed me a cream). :: Some days, I feel like everything is against me. I cry, feel sorry for myself and ask “should I just stay home so that nothing happens to me? So that I don’t break my toe or get a rash?” :: But we all know that’s no way to live. It’s hard to wrap my brain around the fact that things just happen. Nothing is out to get me. There was an accident and I hurt myself. Honestly the fact that it doesn’t happen more often, is nothing short of a miracle. :: I’ve had days/periods of time like this before. And you know what? They ALWAYS pass. :: So I saw this picture taken some time ago and thought of my rashless legs, perfect toe and how one day soon, I’ll be there again. :: Happy #humpday ya’ll :) :: #foodforthought #lifeisamystery #lifeisagift #whatiknowforsure #thistooshallpass #musings #danamusings #adayinthelife #breatheinbreatheout #everythingineediswithinme #sharingiscaring #musicislove #musicislife #lifeislove #smile #illsingtomyself #selfsoothing
