A Little [LITTLE JACKIE] for a Saturday Night

Tonight's song pick is one I can honestly say I cannot relate to, but a part of me really REALLY wishes I could! Just saying...

I hope you will enjoy 31 Flavors by Little Jackie and join me in imagining what it might be like to have such problems! LOL

Music Therapy with Miss Moon

" One cannot manage too many affairs: like pumpkins in the water, one pops up while you try to hold down the other."
~ Chinese Proverb

" The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough."
~ Rabindranath Tagore

“ The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once.”
~ Albert Einstein

I admit it. I suck at multitasking. Well, that's not 100% true...

At work, I'm a beast!! I can answer and email, talk to a customer on the telephone and send an instant message to co-workers at the same time. But when it comes to balancing work with everything else in my life... it's a challenge that I'm trying to learn from and ultimately master.

I know that the time to do everything I want and need to do is available if I seek it out. The greatest challenge thus far is to prioritize and get each thing done in that small window of time allotted to me. So the best way I've found to do this is to fake it like I have everything together and that juggling all that life is throwing at me is effortless. Trust me, it ain't! LOL

Today's song choice for Music Therapy with Miss Moon has become a sort of anthem of mine, that I use to trick my mind and body into believing that I have more time to get everything accomplished than I really do. If you're like me, and you feel sometimes that there needs to be more hours of the day, then I hope that Little Jackie's "Move to the Beat" will motivate you to find the time to get it done and have a little fun in the process!



You move to the beat
Move to the beat
You move to the beat

Can you have it all?
Will you trip and fall,
While you do everything?

What's behind the scene
Hope nobody sees you
Stumble while you walk across that balance beam.

I know it's hard
To try to make it look easy
Try to stay in charge
And please everybody

You gotta move with the traffic
And go with the flow
Hop on one foot while you touch your nose
Trouble taking things with your other hand?
Ahh suck it up and be a man

Can you do it all?
Baby if you're asking
You're looking at the queen of multi-tasking
You move to the beat
Move to the beat
Tap into the insanity, yeah

You move to the beat
You can feel the heat
You embrace the multiplicity

I know it's hard
To try to make it look easy
Try to stay in charge
And please everybody

You gotta move with the traffic
And go with the flow
Hop on one foot while you touch your nose
Trouble taking things with your other hand?
Ahh suck it up and be a man

Can you do it all?
Baby if you're asking
You're looking at the queen of multi-tasking
You move to the beat
Move to the beat
Tap into the insanity, yeah

You move to the beat
Sha la la la
Sha la la la
Sha la la la
Sha la la la
Sha la la la
Sha la la la
Move to the beat
Sha la la la
Sha la la la
Sha la la la
Sha la la la
Sha la la la
Sha la la la

You gotta move with the traffic
And go with the flow
Hop on one foot while you touch your nose
Trouble taking things with your other hand?
Ahh suck it up and be a man

Can you do it all
Baby if you're asking
You're looking at the queen of multi-tasking
You move to the beat
Move to the beat
Tap into the insanity, yeah

You move to the beat
Sha la la la
Sha la la la
Move to the beat
You move to the beat
Sha la la la
Sha la la la
Move to the beat
You move to the beat
Sha la la la
Sha la la la
Move to the beat

Music Therapy with Miss Moon

Everything you need in life begins with you. It's biological: your body needs oxygen to survive, so you breathe... your body craves rest, so you sleep. And it doesn't stop with our basic bodily functions. LOL

We spend so much of our lives, straining to hang on to just a finger's length grasp of what we want, when there are more effortless ways of getting it.

This is what this week's Music Therapy with Miss Moon is all about. "Love" can represent anything you aspire for, or it can be finding the one that fills your heart with joy. Take the energy out of pulling and fighting and use it to lifting yourself up. Meditate, read, laugh, cry, feel and grow. As you lift yourself up, you'll recognize you won't have to stretch and pull anymore, as you've reached a height where the love (or the job, or the vacation, or the life) that you want is right in front of you.

I hope you all will enjoy "Love Will Find Me" by Little Jackie.



My life thus far has been held together
by band aides and safety pins,
nothin quite fits but I'm still tryin
to squeeze my body into it,
I've been frontin, I've been wantin
someone who fits me effortlessly,
with ease and room to spare,
cause I've endured some wear and tear

with all these meaningless love affairs,
fake smiles and dishonest laughter,
fast forward to the morning after
I'm all dolled up lookin like a disaster

I just wanna wash off the lipstick
take off the stilletos
play my music and get with my own flow
and love will find me eventually
I'm gonna dance with my shadow
I'm goin all out, never forgettin what I'm all about
and love will find me eventually
you just wait and see yeah

I'll just sit here and look real cute
while he buys me drinks I'll look for an escape route
grab my purse and exit through the back door
get in my car put the petal to the floor and
I'll fly home singin out loud
life's too short so get off my cloud,
if I can't be myself
I don't wanna be with nobody else.

I just wanna wash off the lipstick
take off the stilletos
play my music and get with my own flow
and love will find me eventually
I'm gonna dance with my shadow
I'm goin all out, never forgettin what I'm all about
and love will find me eventually
you just wait and see yeah

cause they always just crash and burn
crash and burn, when will I learn

to stop lyin, stop hidin, quit cryin stop tryin

I just wanna wash off the lipstick
take off the stilletos
play my music and get with my own flow
and love will find me eventually
I'm gonna dance with my shadow
I'm goin all out, never forgettin what I'm all about
and love will find me eventually
you just wait and see yeah

Music Therapy with Miss Moon

Happy Monday, Everybody!!! It's a new week, ripe with opportunities to make sure the next seven days are beautiful! And what's more, it's Valentine's Day!!! Hooray!! This week's Music Therapy with Miss Moon choice is a very very special Valentine.

Have I mentioned my love of the borough I reside in? No? Yes? Well, let me say that I love Brooklyn!!! I cannot imagine living anywhere else but here. One day I am going to own a big, beautiful brownstone here in Bed-Stuy and come summer, you will find me on the stoop, chilling and blasting this song by Little Jackie.. "The Stoop". Enjoy!!



This stoop is my throne
This hood is my home
And the sky’s always blue by the brownstones
We in Brooklyn, it ain’t no Beverly Hills
Basically we pay bills, then chill
It’s like east coast bliss, its like west coast diss
We do it like this and you seal it with a kiss
And a pound, that’s just how it go down
It’s the protocol, do you feel me all?

Saturday afternoon we talk about the night before
And tonight we’re gonna do it some more
Sunday morning hear the bands in the church play
All day long, every block there’s a new song

Sitting on the stoop in Bed Stuy
Always sayin hi when the brothas walk by
Just proper etiquette
Sitting on the top step
With a bag of chips, sit back, relax, enjoy the trip
We got a neighborly philosophy
I don’t mess with you, you don’t mess with me
It is what it is, it ain’t all hard up in the hood
Sittin on my front stoop and its all good

Boys in wife beaters and corn rows
Wear their pants down low so their briefs can show
Girls be always dressed up
Giving their best stuff
Workin that hairdo
Boys are gonna bless you
Always some commotion at the corner store
That the corner cops chose to ignore
Everybody ride tune to a different song
When they pass by I bob my head along

I don't smoke spliffs but don’t mind the aroma
If the deli out of stella then I settle for corona
And I claim my spot for the evening
Let the part begin, we gonna do it again

Sitting on the stoop in Bed Stuy
Always sayin hi when the brothas walk by
Just proper etiquette
Sitting on the top step
With a bag of chips, sit back, relax, enjoy the trip
We got a neighborly philosophy
I don’t mess with you, you don’t mess with me
It is what it is, it ain’t all hard up in the hood
Sittin on my front stoop and its all good

Its all good
Its all good
Cause I l-l-l-l-love my hood
L-l-l-l-love my hood
Its all good
Its all good
Cause I l-l-l-l-love my hood
L-l-l-l-love my hood

Sitting on the stoop in Bed Stuy
Always sayin hi when the brothas walk by
Just proper etiquette
Sitting on the top step
With a bag of chips, sit back, relax, enjoy the trip
We got a neighborly philosophy
I don’t mess with you, you don’t mess with me
It is what it is, it ain’t all hard up in the hood
Sittin on my front stoop and its all good
