Music Therapy with Miss Moon

“What we seek we shall find; what we flee from flees from us.”
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

" You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do."
~ Eleanor Roosevelt

" No man is a failure who is enjoying life."
~ William Feather

I consider myself pretty brave most of the time, but I am fessin' up and admitting that I am a HUGE CHICKEN when it comes to a lot of things.

What I'm starting to discover is that fear really prevents me from accomplishing some pretty kick ass things. It also stops growth and (this may come as a surprise)... it stops me from having fun! When I think about all the opportunities I've missed out on to have fun because I was scared of something, I cringe. What was I so afraid of? Failure, rejection, disappointment... all of those poisons that are designed to keep us stagnant.

I've recently decided that I was going to face up to some of these fears and opt for fun. When I feel scared, I think to myself, "Fear or Fun, Audrey.... It's YOUR choice!". I won't lie to you, I don't always pick fun all the time. But I've made the right choice several times lately, and I haven't had a single regret yet! ::knocks wood::

As ashamed as I am to admit this, but despite having an older sister that was a SUPER Queen fan.. it was until much later in my life (and thanks to Hollywood) that I discovered how awesome the band was. I mean, who doesn't bang their heads along with Wayne and Garth to "Bohemian Rhapsody"?!? LOL

This week's choice for Music Therapy with Miss Moon is a song I first remember hearing in the film, "Shaun of the Dead". It's an awesome flick, so check it out if you haven't already! It's become a song I use to psych myself up when I need to make the inevitable choice of fun over fear. I hope you all will enjoy "Don't Stop Me Now". And don't let anyone or anything stop you from having fun... especially your own fears! Just call me Audrey Fahrenheit! ;)




Tonight I'm gonna have myself a real good time
