Music Therapy with Miss Moon

“ Opportunities to find deeper powers within ourselves come when life seems most challenging.”
~ Joseph Campbell

" If I'm enjoying myself, I find my opportunities for more fun become greater."
~ Martha Plimpton

" Opportunities are like sunrises. If you wait too long, you miss them."
~ William Arthur Ward

" Every day is an opportunity to make a new happy ending."
~ Author Unknown

I'm always excited at beginnings. The beginning of a new week, a new month, and all of the unknown opportunities for lessons and blessings before me. Sure there is a bit of fear about what to come (I am human, after all!), but the one thing I've learned as I'm rapidly approaching 35 is that regret is WAY more damaging to the spirit.

When I look back on my past, I don't kick myself over the wrong choices I've made. Those have ultimately shaped who I am, and I've learned some powerful life lessons in the process, which is a blessing in disguise. I always feel really very sucky when I reflect on the times I could have made a choice, instead of staying paralyzed in fear and indecision. I wasted a lot of my life that way. No more, though!

This week, I am choosing to approach new opportunities with open arms and expect only the best to come. Starting with today, my official first day at my new job! And this week's song choice for Music Therapy with Miss Moon is a wonderful way to keep the feeling going. Of course... I'm sharing it with you all in the hopes that it will inspire you to embrace opportunity today, and the freedom that comes a long with it, too!

For an extra boost on opportunities and embracing the unknown, be sure to check out the most recent post by the fabulous Simone Craig!! She's always serving up the tastiest food for thought! :)



Let me tell you what love is
It's when you meet each other halfway
I'm en route

Emancipate yourself
Emancipate yourself
Emancipate yourself
Emancipate yourself

Look in your own mirror and know who you are
Live your life accordingly the truth is on your arm
And it's good, baby
You've done good, baby

Be just who you are make no apologies
And when it's said and done who's really sorry
You're okay, baby
It's okay, baby

Emancipate yourself
Emancipate yourself
Emancipate yourself
Emancipate yourself

Dare to be a better you each chance you get
We're all human and fall short and nothing's over yet
It's up to you, baby
Give 'em you, baby

Life's too short to waste your time do what you love
Don't be ashamed it's better have peace by a dove
Give 'em you, baby
Give 'em room, baby

Emancipate yourself
Emancipate yourself
Emancipate yourself
Emancipate yourself

Like the phoenix from the ashes
Or a sunrise off in the distance
I'll try again, I'll try again
I'll try again, we'll try again

Like the phoenix from the ashes
Or a sunrise off in the distance
I'll try again, I'll try again
I'll try again, we'll try again

Emancipate yourself
Emancipate yourself
Emancipate yourself
Emancipate yourself
