Music Therapy with Miss Moon

"Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy."
~ Norman Vincent Peale

This week is beginning with a lot of new opportunities for yours truly. After a month-long dry spell, I have two job interviews lined up for this week, starting today.

Proof positive that I am getting older and wiser is how I think about job interviews nowadays. Of course, I want to present myself in a positive light, and show each person I meet with that I am a hard-working, talented and competent candidate for the job. But a lot of the fear and the panic associated with job interviews don't effect me as strongly as they once had.

Lately, I've been approaching each opportunity to meet with someone regarding a position as a possibility to connect and find a match. If they don't hire me, I assume it wasn't a match, and keep it moving. Sure, it's frustrating when you don't find a match right away, but eventually, I will. And as I've discovered, it's usually very much worth the wait. For myself,and the the lucky company to add me to their ranks.

It's all about confidence. I am good at what I do, and I'm the type of employee that will positively contribute her time, energy and creativity into her job. So I walk into each job interview knowing this with certainty. Hopefully it's something that will resonate with the people interviewing me. Because, and I say thing quite humbly, I am a super woman! Which leads me to this week's song choice for Music Therapy with Miss Moon...


I had to choose Alicia Key's amazing anthem "Superwoman", a song that will be guiding my steps this week, as I venture forth to find my destiny. May it inspire and uplift all the superwomen and supermen reading these words!



Everywhere I'm turning
Nothing seems complete
I stand up and I'm searching
For the better part of me
I hang my head from sorrow
state of humanity
I wear it on my shoulders
Gotta find the strength in me

Cause I am a Superwoman
Yes I am
Yes she is
Even when I'm a mess
I still put on a vest
With an S on my chest
Oh yes
I'm a Superwoman

For all the mothers fighting
For better days to come
And all my women, all my women sitting here trying
To come home before the sun
And all my sisters
Coming together
Say yes I will
Yes I can

Cause I am a Superwoman
Yes I am
Yes she is
Even when I'm a mess
I still put on a vest
With an S on my chest
Oh yes
I'm a Superwoman

When I'm breaking down
And I can't be found
And I start to get weak
Cause no one knows
Me underneath these clothes
But I can fly
We can fly, Oh

Cause I am a Superwoman
Yes I am
Yes she is
Even when I'm a mess
I still put on a vest
With an S on my chest
Oh yes
I'm a Superwoman

Music Therapy with Miss Moon


Happy Fourth of July, All!!!! I admit to being a woman who daydreams about leading a life of adventure, as I'm sure a lot of us do. While I don't have it like Liz Gilbert to be able to chuck it for a year, I can enjoy my daydream... which is never complete without the perfect adventure soundtrack. So I hope you all will enjoy Imani Coppola's "Legend of a Cowgirl"



I'm gonna drink my whiskey, gonna have my man
I know you got nothing to say
I'm gonna have my man, I'm gonna steal their hearts
And save them for another day
Ain't gonna hang my hat, ain't gonna take off my boots
Ain't nothing gonna stop me in my pursuit
My stage, time to rehearse
Gonna see all the wonders of the universe

Pack my bags and mount my horse
I'm gonna ride on into the next town
Spend all my money on absolutely nothing
Need no man to pay for anything
Ain't got no shame, nobody knows my name
I'm gonna ride on into the next town
Pecos Bill, couldn't hang for long
A female legend with a song, yeah

Such a beautiful day, such a beautiful day
I think I'll wear my brand new negligee
I'll probably change my mind
It happens every time, just speak to my ex-fiance
I'm gonna hunt the hunter, gonna serve 'em well done
Nowhere to hide, nowhere to run
Up goes the moon, down comes the sun
Cook my dinner while I shine my gun

Pack my bags and mount my horse
I'm gonna ride on into the next town
Spend all my money on absolutely nothing
'Cause there ain't no thing like a chicken wing
Ain't got no shame, nobody knows my name
Ride on into the next town
Pecos Bill, couldn't hang for long
A female legend with a song

I'd give my life to be her
I'd give my live just to be her
I'd give my sight to see her
I'd give my sight just to see her

So here's the way I'm gonna break it down
Speak my mind any time 'cause I got the master plan
Power in my soul, strength from my hand
I'm going up north to claim my land
Won't settle by river, might make me shiver
So look out and hide your fans
I'm a woman on fire with a huge desire
To be as good as any man

Pack my bags and mount my horse
I'm gonna ride on into the next town
Spend all my money on absolutely nothing
Need no man to pay for anything
Ain't got no shame, nobody knows my name
I'm gonna ride on into the next town
Pecos Bill, couldn't hang for long
A female legend with a song, yeah

A Little [TAMAR-KALI feat. JEAN GRAE] for a Saturday Night

I heard this song for the first time recently and was bowled away with how dope it was...



But truth be told, I really shouldn't be surprised, considering the sources!!





I think that you'll find "Pearl" by Tamar-Kali(featuring Jean Grae)on this Saturday Night, dedicated to all the women reading these words, and all the men who love us. We're all pearls!!
