[Fitness, Health and Happiness]

Fitness Friday

Lets talk music.

I don't always run with music, but when I do it's a great pick me up. With some songs I get into a comfortable rhythm that feels like I could run forever. With other songs, I can't help but push myself a little bit harder and a little bit faster for the length of the song.

That brings me to this song, Motley Crue's Kickstart My Heart. Why this song in particular? 

1. I'm still surprised a Motely Crue song is on my iPod, 
2. It never fails to motivate me to push harder or run faster and
3. It is a running song only. I never listen to it otherwise. If it comes on the radio I change the station. Typically, it's way out of my music comfort zone.

 

Do you have a running-only song? A song that would typically be considered out of your comfort zone. What is your favorite go to song that motivates you to run just a little bit harder? If you don't run with music what motivates you to push harder just for a few mintues?

One Little Word Blog Hop || July

One Little Word | Embrace [who I am]

One little word can have a big impact on your life. A journey shared.

A glimpse of One Little Word 2011. July.

The prompt for July was to create a personal playlist. Meaningful music that connects to your word. I've been doing this for the past 7 months and consistently come back to these 7 songs. My One Little Word playlist (Note: Last minute change to my plans for creating this as a hybrid project. This will give you a general idea of how it will look in the album):

One Little Word || Captured

Week Twelve

My word and a song. As soon as I heard Bruno Mars' Just the Way You Are I immediately thought of my husband, Chad. The song reminds me of how Chad makes me feel. He loves me. The perfectly imperfect me. 

I'm going to add the lyrics to my OLW album.

Oh, her eyes, her eyes, make the stars look like they're not shining
Her hair, her hair, falls perfectly without her trying 
She's so beautiful, and I tell her every day

Yeah, I know, I know, when I compliment her she won't believe me
And it's so, it's so, sad to think that she don't see what I see
But every time she asks me do I look ok, I say

When I see your face, there's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing, just the way you are
And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while
Because girl you're amazing, just the way you are(yeah)

Her lips, her lips, I could kiss them all day if she let me
Her laugh, her laugh, she hates but I think it's so sexy
She's so beautiful, and I tell her every day

Oh, you know, you know, you know, I'd never ask you to change
If perfect's what you're searching for then just stay the same
So, don't even bother asking if you look ok
You know I'll say

When I see your face, there's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing, just the way you are
And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while
Because girl you're amazing, just the way you are
The way you are, the way you are
Girl you're amazing, just the way you are 

Is there a song that reminds you of your word? Maybe lyrics that resonate your thoughts or intentions?

Wordless Wednesday

Possibilities. Promise.
(Prompt from Tracey Clark's Picture Winter at Big Picture Classes)

For days I've had this song, by Michael Jackson, stuck in my head. And I feel like there is a reason.
