Music Therapy with Miss Moon

Imagine if we had the ability to cry when we feel the need to, I mean really release all of our tears, without fear of condemnation or appearing weak? I think that this is why I am so enamored with this week's Music Therapy with Miss Moon selection: It's the happiest song about crying I've ever heard! LOL

I hope that you too will enjoy "Let It Fall" by Swedish singer Lykke Li.



So I weep
So I weep
So I weep
So I weep

In my weakest moments I weep
'Cause I like the way, tears fit my cheek
In my darkest moments I cry
Oh how I love the way, tears suits my face

I like it salt
I like it wet
Like my makeup in a mess
So I cry hard
Let it fall
And I won't stop until my tears are all shed

So I weep
So I weep
So I weep
So I weep

In my joyous moments I moan
'Cause it feels so good when I let my water flow
Drip drop, and I cannot stop
Can't stop, no I said no
Drip drop, and I cannot stop
Can't stop
I cry for you, cry for you
I cry because I cannot help it
So it runs, yes it falls
And ain't no stopping at all

I like it salt
I like it wet
Like my makeup in a mess
So I cry hard
Let it fall
And I won't stop until my tears are all shed
So I weep
So I weep
So I weep
So I weep
Let it fall

A Little [JOHN LEGEND] for a Saturday Night

This Saturday Night... I am in a bit of a mellow mood, so I decided to pick a song that encapsulates that feeling. I am hoping that wherever you are, that "Slow Dance" courtesy of John Legend will put a smile on your face and make your Saturday Night a terrific one.

DO SOMETHING: Prevent Sex Trafficking with The Body Shop

In her fabulous blog Fashion Nette-Work, Juanette (Who I swear is my Fashion Fairy Godmother... she never ceases to inspire me!) posted yesterday about the recent DFW Bloggers Meetup held at The Body Shop in the Northpark Mall in Dallas. Amongst the photos of her, all the beautiful attendees and her take of the event, I discovered something AMAZING that I knew I had to blog about.



The Body Shop has partnered with two amazing organizations: ECPAT-USA and the Somaly Man Foundation to campaign against the sex trafficking of children and young people. Every year, it is estimated that 1.2 million children are trafficked for sex. In the United States alone, over 200,000 children will be involved in commercial sexual exploitation.

Please keep in mind that while these numbers are merely estimates, the true numbers are immeasurable and most likely higher.

The US should change the laws that allow children to be arrested and prosecuted when
they are victims of sex trafficking. Instead of arrest they should be offered support and
protection as they are in New York and Washington states.

Since the inception of this campaign, much progress has been made. But there is still work to be done, and they need your help. I signed the petition to show support for this important cause and I urge you to do the same.
