    Default Peace, Gratitude, and the Power of Music

    I wasn't even sure what to call this thread, but I went to the most amazing Amel Larrieux concert tonight at the Birchmere. Small intimate dinner club, got a ticket off someone at the last minute and sat in the first row by total providence. Her voice is the most beautiful voice I have ever heard, it's FAR more amazing in person than on the album. I'm wasn't even a huge fan just had some of her songs in my iTunes, but something told me to go to her show and now I am a HUGE fan.


    I laughed, I cried, I danced, I felt like a higher power was talking to me, I felt uplifted, encouraged, inspired, identified with, appreciated as a human being and fan. It was perfect. I heard the words, the meaning and power of her songs like never before. Oh, and she was so friendly with the audience and brought people up on stage, came out into the crowd and did the bump with me. Yes, the bump.


    I was reminded tonight that God always gives me what I need, when I need it, how I need it: I needed to hear everything I heard tonight, I needed to meet a good man (the guy I'm currently dating who, ya heard it here first, is absolutely "the one" a phrase I NEVER use), I needed the security my ex-boyf provided, I needed my son, I needed my job (as a stripper).

    Suddenly everything just. Makes. Sense.

    I was reminded what it is to have something inside of you that must to be shared, something that speaks to people and makes them better. Something to give to the world.

    I am SO infinitely thankful! And SO peaceful! I'm heading back to work sometime next week and was getting noticeably nervous about it, but I've been reminded that my God, my Higher Power gives me what I need when I need it without fail. And thus, I am back to Zen.

    Thank-you, Thank-you, Thank-you!

    P.S.
    I don't have a religious bone in my body and I'm not all that big on the Bible.

    It is really something how your post was like exactly what I needed to hear today.

    I have been struggling in many different ways but you know you right, I am always given what I need, my son and I will be alright .

    Thank you for this inspiration and I wish you all the best in your return to work.

    Peace and prosperity girl
