Music Therapy with Miss Moon

" I have accepted fear as a part of life – specifically the fear of change. I have gone ahead despite the pounding in the heart that says: turn back."
~ Erica Jong

" Decide that you want it more than you are afraid of it."
~ Bill Cosby

" Where fear is, happiness is not."
~ Seneca


One of the most frustrating feelings in life is knowing what needs to be done, knowing that fear is holding you back, and not knowing how to get over it. Do you just leap and hope that the net will appear? Do you take a baby step in the right direction? What to do?

I'm 35, and I'm rapidly passing the "there's still time..." phase of my life. So I'm going to leap and instead of hoping the net will appear I will know it. I'm tired of ambling down this path we call life, kept stagnant by fear and unhappy.

I'm going for what I want in life. I'm going to make moves, rock the boat a bit, and my heart will quake with fear, but I will know I'm alive. So for today's song choice, I am sharing one of my favorite tunes by Erykah Badu, "Didn't Cha Know" May it serve was a reminder that life is to be lived, not feared.



Oh hey...

Ooh hey
I'm trying to decide
Which way to go
I think I made a wrong turn back there somewhere

Ooh hey
I'm trying to decide
Which way to go
I think I made a wrong turn back there somewhere

Didn't cha know, didn't cha know
Tried to move but I lost my way
Didn't cha know, didn't cha know
Stopped to watch my emotions sway
Didn't cha know, didn't cha know
Knew the toll, but I would not pay
Didn't cha know, didn't cha know
Cause you never know where the cards may lay

Time to save the world
Where in the world is all the time
So many things I still don't know
So many times I've changed my mind
Guess I was born to make mistakes
But I ain't scared to take the weight
So when I stumble off the path
I know my heart will guide me back

Ooh hey
I'm trying to decide
Which way to go
I think I made a wrong turn back there somewhere

Ooh hey
I'm trying to decide
Which way to go
I think I made a wrong turn back there somewhere

Didn't cha know, didn't cha know
Tried to run but I lost my way
Didn't cha know, didn't cha know
Stopped to watch my emotions sway
Didn't cha know, didn't cha know
Knew the toll but I would not pay
Didn't cha know, didn't cha know
I said ya never know how the cards may lay

Love is life, and life is free
Take a ride on life with me
Free your mind and find your way
There will be a brighter day

Love is life, and life is free
Take a ride on life with me
Free your mind and find your way
There will be a brighter day
