soundrack


I must confess I enjoy a good soundtrack
The original scores that set the tone and feel for a movie.
Songs written by musician's, chosen by the story teller who is listening to the lyrics that they hope will help place emphasis on a moment in the story they are trying to tell.
Telling a story to you in pictures, words and music.

For those of you who know me well, you have come to realize I have a thing for Period Drama's. Specifically Jane Austen, but not limited to... =)
(Only a few that I have in my collection)
When I was a young girl my aunt introduced me to the world of movies that took place in a slower and simplified time.
And since then, my heart has held a love for not only the stories of Jane Austen, Lucy M Montgomery, Charles Dickens, Louisa May Alcott etc, but also the music that was composed to complete the telling of their stories. (Now the goal is to read the books!)
Owning soundtracks happens to be a weakness. I love listening to them while I read, sleep, write, drive or in moments I need to think.

Do you ever wish that in a moment of excitement and joy or disappointment and sorrow,that you had your own personal soundtrack.
A song playing in the background of what is taking place in your heart and mind to help bring clarity to the moment.

Ever have those 'movie' moments in life where you think, where is the song playing to complete this moment... I do. If I am to be honest ;)

I often wish I had my own personal soundtrack and can't help but wonder what songs would be playing in the background of my life.
We all leave a legacy when we leave this world. If that legacy was in a soundtrack, what would yours be filled with? What songs composed, would tell the story of your life? What would it say about you and how you lived and loved those around you....

When heard by the ones left behind ,what would the response be> To sit and listen, cherishing each wonderful note as the melody progressed. Or, could they not turn it off quickly enough.

What legacy will you leave behind today...

If adventure will not befall.

"If adventure will not befall a young lady in her own village, she must seek them abroad." -Jane Austen In a moment everything can change I know this full well Yet, I find myself, even still, in a state of utter disbelief that this is my reality To the person who saw that my roots ran deep and my feet were planted That recognized that my growth was stunted. Who spoke into who she knew I could be and saw what I was capable of. Thank you.  For your vote of confidence. Speaking life into a dream that was in my heart For taking the well loved and cared for, potted flower & moving it into a new place where growth could continue Giving me the courage and the safely to know I was loved no matter where home became. I had no idea my life could be as it is Remember the days when you spoke so sure about how things would be and always would be...? You know, the things that are absolutes in your life, in your ignorance and innocents of youthful pride "I will neve...

A day without rain

Well family and friends, it has been one week of being here in the UK in intern mode.  I believe my body is almost in UK time... although mornings can be a bit difficult, lets be honest, mornings have never been my thing ;) Apparently as I arrived, so did the change of weather, rain arrived making each day changeable from moment to moment.  'Oh look, it's sunny!' 2 minutes later, down pouring. Makes for a bit of concern while walking, never knowing if you should be prepared for a sudden down pour. But I signed up for this, so no real complaining from me.... just getting adjusted to things. For example, sayings and words you should be using. I have to say, I have had to ask many time what people are saying to me, or, what exactly they have asked me to do. The words they use, so different! But then, I also have funny saying and words that they in turn need me to clarify and it has been rather amusing. I have yet to really go any where beyond the coffee shop, church and my h...

Legacy

Legacy This word has been on my heart as of late. dictionary.com noun (pl) -cies 1.a gift by will, esp of money or personal property 2.something handed down or received from an ancestor or predecessor I am reminded of another legacy. Not just a legacy of earthly goods. But a legacy of who we were. Of what we lived for, how we loved others, and how we chose to give of what we had. Sometimes this idea is both inspiring and frightening. A friend and mentor of mine a few years back shared this very important line of truth 'Comparison is the beginning of inferiority' When I am tempted by the game of comparison, I hear him say those words. It is truly a ridiculous thing to look around to gain our value and standard for life by what 'others' are doing and the timing in which they are doing them. Who are 'they'? And why do 'they' matter so much? I am reminded of my first responsibility. To love the Lord our God wit...
