Music-to make housework easier...........a song


I love to visit Czekoczyna ( Kasia Krzyminska ) and be inspired by her delicate, artsy pages. She,  and some of her very creative friends, visit HERE to check out who they are, get together once a month and create a work inspired by a favourite song. Music is a massive part of my life; my blog is partly named after a hip-hop, rap band, so pages influenced by music and lyrics very much appeal to me. They call their challenge "Music-to make housework easier" and their pages are of course amazing and inspirational. This month the song they chose is one that has a very personal significance for me. I tend not to share too much personal stuff on my blog, I don't like to get too 'heavy', I like to keep it bright and breezy, but we all have things go on in our lives that cause our hearts to break and our heads to be troubled.
Two and a half years ago my youngest daughter was not in a good place. Since then she has shown incredible strength and determination to overcome some personal battles and has grown and matured into a wise, empathetic, beautiful young woman with a clear focus on what she wants her future to be, and how she can achieve it. So proud of her. This song by Sia is a reminder of her lost, darker days.






Thanks for visiting today. May the music in your week be either touching or toe tapping, just as long as it's good.

  19. Oh yes, Kasia and her friends are truly amazing! too bad you guys live on different continents or else you'd have a tagged spot at their scrappy table. I remember those difficult times and how your art reflected your thoughs. Always such incredibly beautiful work and so intriguing with lots and lots of little itty details that have a meaning. I am so glad your daughter is giving herself the gift of life. Hugs,
