Music Therapy with Miss Moon

" Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."
~ Martin Luther King, Jr.

“ If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.”
~ Bishop Desmond Tutu

" Prejudice is a form of untruthfulness, and untruthfulness is an insidious form of injustice."
~ Miroslav Volf

There are no words. No words adequate to describe the sadness, the disappointment, and the heartbreak I feel for the Martin family. I am also filled with an overwhelming sense of anger at another occurrence of injustice in this country.

This week's song choice for Music Therapy with Miss Moon I hope will articulate everything I am trying to say much better than I will.



Tired of injustice
Tired of the schemes
Your lies are disgusting
What does it mean
Kicking me down
I gotta get up
As jacked as it sounds
The whole system sucks

Peek in the shadow
Come into the light
You tell me I'm wrong
then you better prove you're right
You're sellin' out souls but
I care about mine
I've got to get stronger
And I won't give up the fight

With such confusion don't it make you wanna scream
You're bash abusing victimize within the scheme

You try to cope with every lie they scrutinize

Somebody please have mercy 'cause I just can't take it

Stop pressurin' me
Just stop pressurin' me
Stop pressurin' me
Make me wanna scream

Tired of tellin' the story your way
You're causin' confusion
You think it's okay

You keep changin' the rules
While you keep plain' the game
I can't take it much longer
I think I might go insane

With such confusion
Don't it make you wanna scream
Your bach abusin' victimize within the scheme

You find your pleasure scandalizin' every lie

Oh father, please have mercy
'Cause I just can't take it

Stop pressurin' me
Just stop pressurin' me
Stop pressurin' me
Make me wanna scream

Break down:
Oh my God, can't believe what I saw on the TV this evening
I was disgusted by all the injustice
All the injustice

With such delusions don't it make you wanna scream
You're bash abusin' victimize within the scheme

You try to cope with every lie they scrutinize

Oh brother please have mercy 'cause I just can't take it

Stop pressurin' me
Just stop pressurin' me
Stop pressurin' me
Make me wanna scream

Music Therapy with Miss Moon

We've all had instances where we've taken blessings that have entered our lives for granted: whether its in the form of people, lessons or opportunities. This week's Music Therapy with Miss Moon comes with the reminder to appreciate what you have if it's valuable to you because (Joni Mitchell never lies) you don't know what you've Got 'til It's Gone.

I'm REALLY Diggin': Janet's New Do'

I was completely bowled over when I spotted pictures of Janet Jackson's new short hair while out and about in London.

Janet is the one celebrity I would never in a thousand years would dare to rock a short 'do, and I do mean rockin' it!!!





Her big beautiful eyes were made for that short hair!! I am really loving this surge of sistah-celebs ditching the weaves for a shorter do'

:::drools::: Janet Jackson-style for Plus Size Fashionistas

So when I spotted this picture of Janet Jackson in NYC during fashion week on Bossip, I knew I had to seek out a full(er?) figure version of this outfit. The people at Bossip might be questioning if this outfit is a hit or miss, but I certainly think it rocks and am looking forward to incorporating it into my everyday work steeze!

And how D-O-P-E dope is it that the entire ensemble I found on Lane Bryant's website? The only thing not from there is the handbag (which I got from another site) and the shoes (which I didnt pick out at all! lol)
