Welcome to Litsy!

Congrats to @Kerrbearlib, winner of the (Completely random & unannounced) #TuesdayTunes 500 Post Giveaway 😋

We reached 500 posts this week, so I ran a random number generator of 1 to 500. The number was 200, and the 200th post was about Kerry's favorite radio station.

Congrats Kerry! I'll send you a $25 gift card for your favorite record store or VISA gift card for an online music shop. Send me an email (akkline106@gmail.com) to connect.

I found a guided journal prompt online. I answered it yesterday and I‘ve included some of my answers from my journal. This was a fun one to answer. The prompt is,”What is a song that always makes you feel a certain way and what emotion does it evoke?” It took 3 pages for me to answer this. I could‘ve kept on going. I‘m thinking about sharing this every Tuesday since it‘s all about music. I love music.

I don‘t listen to much country, but I am in love with Orville Peck‘s music. Check him out if you like Johnny Cash. I‘ve been playing Orville‘s song “Daytona Sand” on repeat & it‘s like a balm to my soul.

Today‘s piece from Year of Wonder was both mesmerizing & haunting.

I feel like adding a little more non fiction into the mix might be a good idea. Going to spend the morning seeing if I can get into this.

I enjoyed this! It was a quick read, Cherry is an empathetic and understanding person. I love that her whole family and everyone in her orbit are true artists. I appreciate how she can see people's flaws and love them anyways
I thought she was a good storyteller, she reiterated issues she found important but always kept the story pushing forward
I honestly thought Eagle -Eye Cherry was a band name...
3.75/5

“If everything was amazing all of the time, I think we‘d all be speechless, and if you make that your starting point for creativity, you‘re going nowhere.”

I thought this was such an interesting take about creativity. About how you have to have downtime and sometimes some things that are not amazing are just as important as amazing things.

For #tuesdaytunes, here‘s some songs I listened to on my Alexa Echo Dot after I got out of the shower the other night.

Yesterday, I was pleased to find two Billy Bragg CDs at a local charity shop. I'm currently listening to Don't Try This at Home for the first time and I'm looking forward to listening to The Internationale. #TuesdayTunes
