Aug 1 OLW Blog Hop (Nihao, Cupcake!)

Welcome to my blog and yet another ONE LITTLE WORD Blog Hop!

(A little photo to share - I won the grand prize (landmark category) in our city's Centennial Celebration Photo Contest)

For those of you that are new to my blog, every month on the 1st of the month, a group of students from Ali Edwards' One Little Word class at Big Picture Classes, share our monthly assignments on our blogs. It is a fantastic way to get inspired and root on other classmates. It has been a fantastic way to keep me accountable. It is often the only thing that keeps me from flaking on my assignments.

This month's assignment was all about music. We were to pick songs that relate to our word or even include our word in their lyrics. My word is LOVINGKINDNESS.

I chose to pick some of my favorite songs of all time as well as current songs that reflect my life.

The first three songs I like becuase they have a tune that I can listen to over and over and over again. I've loved these songs for more than a few years and never tire of them.

Suddenly I See KT Tunstall - I first heard this song when I first saw the movie The Devil Wears Prada. I bought the soundtrack just to get this song only find out, it wasn't on the soundtrack and I had to buy it separately.

Only You Yaz - I was introduced to Yaz by my first boyfriend in college. This was my favorite song on the album I loved. I still love this song to this day but not for sentimental reasons! Purely realted to my enjoyment of the song!

Falling Slowly Once - This is another song I discovered while watching a movie. It is a beautiful melody. What's not to love?!

I Hope You Dance LeAnn Womack - I love the message of this song. It is what I wish for my own children.

Anyone Else But You Juno - Yet another song I first heard in a movie. I just love it and could listen to it forever!

Rolling in the Deep Adele - this is a song that has found its way to me. It represents current day to me and Adele has a beautiful voice!

Call Me Maybe Carly Rae Jepsen - my nephews introduced this song to my two youngest kids and now it's my seven year old son's very favorite song despite endless ostracizing by his 14 year old older brother! And with the cute music video made by the USA Olympic swimming team - what is not to love about it! It is just a fun teeny bopper song.

What's one of your favorite songs in the soundtrack of your life??

I love all of your songs, Margie, especially Falling Slowly. That's always been one that I actually stop to listen to as well. Congrats on your award! Well deserved.
