Music Soothes My Everything!



According to researchers at Manchester University, music fans are stimulating part of the inner ear known as the Sacculus, which responds to the beat in music. This gives the brain pleasure and makes us feel good — during the music and afterwards. [When loud music is playing,] the brain is stimulated into releasing feelgood hormones that make us calm, happy and responsive.

Even though to much loud music is damaging to your ears, I enjoy it. There are a lot of people that LOVE music but don't listen to it as much or as loud as me. So when they are around its n absolute drag when they turn it down-even when a conversation isn't taking place. I get it, I know that some people can't think or do some things like read etc while music is on. My dear Husband is one of those people! Hahaha, I love you James!!  I most definately do not take quiet time for granted, but if you were to add a great song to the silence, its magical!


I love music, I always have! For as long as I can remember I have always loved a good song! My Father always had a good song playing in his Bronco. He even made a box for his speakers so that they were louder. I heard great songs from Musical wonders like, Elvis Presley, Kingston Trio, Def Lepard, Ozzy Osborne, The Beetles, etc..

I have noticed that I am not the only Music lover in my family. Both of my sisters are Music lovers by heart as well! But I seriously have my doubts that they are as bad as I. :) I could listen to music every day all day! When I was 9 years old, my Dad found someone to teach me to sing. From that point on til I was 17 I was a growing songbird. :) So I guess you could say that my Musical ambition is partly my Fathers fault! LOL, Which is entirely okay with me!

Now, its back to my Music I go...

Prayers for the children!

This really breaks my heart!!! I am an avid Facebook user and lately I have seen so many heartbreaking stories about children being sick, dying, hurt, etc... Tonight I am sitting at my desk looking at these stories being posted by families that all need prayers for their babies, nieces, nephews and friends. I wish I could just write this Blog and everyone everywhere would know how important it is to say prayers for these sweet children and all other children in the world. Alas, I am only one person and I have only 10 followers. However I know that many of my followers will say prayers for these sweet souls!

Prayers: The niece of an old Classmate. Not exactly sure about her age but she has been in the Children's hospital for a week and she has severe necrotic pancreatitis and 2 blood clots. She has been through so much and trying to keep a smile on her face. What a scary thing for her to go through and at such a young age! Please include her in your prayers!! Thank you! My prayers are with you Sipola, and your entire family!

Prayers: A friend of mine's daughter was in a four wheeler accident a week and a half ago. Her and her cousin hit each other head on, both were on wheelers. She has a shattered left arm and a shattered right knee cap. She has been in pain and her family is asking for prayers. As am I also. She is 9 years old. They may have to put pins in her arm and she has been wheelchair bound since the accident. Prayers are appreciated. Thank you. My prayers are with you Preece, and your family, we wish you well as soon as possible!

Prayers: Another Classmate of mine has a sweet baby girl that is around age two. (unsure). She has been through SO many difficult health problems and afflictions. Her parents have spent much of their time in Hospitals. I do not have a current update for this precious girl, but I know that her parents are in need of prayers and thoughts at this time. This sweet little one has been through so much in her short life. My thoughts and prayers are with you Olivia and your amazing parents!

Prayers: This is for Patrick! Patrick has Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. Patrick was diagnosed with ALL at the age of 5 (on December 18, 2009) and has since been undergoing extensive treatment to combat this terrible disease. This sweet little boy has a Facebook Group called, Prayers For Patrick. You and you amazing family are in my prayers and thoughts sweet boy!!

Prayers: This is for little Devin Drake, a beautiful sweet smiling 3 year old boy who became the victim of abuse on August 30, 2011, by his parents! With unfortunate substantial Brain Trauma and declared Brain Dead, was taken off life support by his supporting family members on September 4, 2011. Even though I did not know you, you are an angel to many and myself. your face is instilled into my mind. May God Bless you!! 

Prayers: For ALL the sick and afflicted and those that have passed.... May you find peace and love with your Heavenly Father who loves you! For all the friends and family that I have lost, I love you for eternity, you ALL brought something worth while into my life..... YOU. I love each and every one of you, big and small. I am truly blessed to have such wonderful people in my life. I feel like I have jabbered on and on, but for a good purpose. I know I often bother ya'll for Prayers but I would certainly hope that you would do it for me if I needed them. 

Hope that everyone hugs their families tight and loves endlessly..... Love is everything!
