Excellent work people! We are five weeks in and we have 24 people taking the survey, 12 people (that we know of) scoring in the thirties! I hope you had so much fun filling your lives with music last week and that it leads into a super special week of prayer and communion with the Divine! It is going to be a really neat week!
ME THINKS YOU LIKED THIS CHALLENGE!! Haha! YAY!
It was really fun to see how music affects you! Looks like EMOTIONS wins with dancing and feeling closer to the Divine coming in second and third!
WOOOO!! That is one nice chart! I don't know that I've ever seen anything so beautiful! 100% of you will make music a part of your daily life moving forward! SWEET!
IF you discovered any NEW FAVORITE SONGS or ARTISTS you'd like me to add to the Spotify playlist... list them here!
My Jesus by Anne Wilson! Love it- amen!!
Mandisa - Stronger
Queens Don’t by Raelynn; Days of Dark by Dierks Bentley; Somebody Does by Tigirlilly; Strip Me by Natasha Bedingfield
The Playlist is amazing!!! I've listened to it most days while getting ready for work. I'm listening to it now as I'm packing to move. I Snapchatted what happened... I'll post it in the group. Lol
Christian Music 90.3 radio station
I tend to listen to the same artists over and over again. I really like Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings, First Aid Kit, The Tallest Man on Earth, and the Danish String Quartet. Lots of Scandinavian roots.
Llama Llama Red Pajama - Ludacris
I will add these to the playlist but I wanted you to see the actual comments! We've got some great stuff here! (I have the book Llama Llama Red Pajama but I DID NOT KNOW it was a song too! Haha! SO Curious!!!)
Please share with us something you learned about yourself, or tell us an uplifting experience you had while listening to music this week!
Just the power of learning and playing a song on the guitar in a different key and how it changes the dynamics and overall power of the song
I was just more aware of lyrics and my emotions while listening to music.
This week has been a challenging week with work and single parenthood. I love Mandisa but I had never heard her song Stronger until this week. I was bawling, God KNEW I needed that song this week.
I just felt so much lighter all week long. I felt more loved and more love for others. I kinda wanted to hug the whole world!
While thinking of words and melody to make a song, I thought of my children and their journey to come to Christ.
So I often listen to classical, more calming music but decided this week I would choose to listen to more upbeat mainstream music each day. It was a great experience. I felt more energized and was surprised to find myself up and dancing a lot. I love that I have rediscovered another way to feel more energized. Thank you!
It was just so uplifting overall to listen to more music! I always feel like my life is a movie (the good kind) when I listen to music. It is so uplifting!
I was able to dance with my bestie's son at his wedding. He asked me to dance to a favorite song of ours... I sobbed. It's posted on my Facebook page... 😇🤗 I also went to a singles Halloween party and danced. I LOVE MUSIC AND DANCING!!
I am always listening to music, but this week I listened to music when walking instead of my podcasts. It made me bounce along to the beat and really get into it. What a difference good music makes!
Music brings my body into a feeling of balance.
It's amazing how you can manipulate your emotions with different genres of music. I listen to music depending on my mood or the mood I want to create. One thing I enjoyed this week was driving by myself one evening, turning up the volume and singing at the top of my lungs!
I love listening to classical music. It organizes my thoughts and is so intricate.
I listen to a wide variety daily. We do a lot of singing! I recently taught my preschoolers a song about the universe and I could tell they were really feeling it. When it was over, everyone sat still and then two comments were made by students. 4 year old Violet said, “this is my favorite song because it makes me feel ALL of my love!” And Reese said, “I love this class!” I’m sure she meant I love my classmates. Music can make you feel everything a little deeper and it is a great unifier. The basics of harmony are just two notes that sound good together. I think music is a great metaphor for what we are trying to accomplish in our families. Solos are pretty great, but playing together in harmony is out of this world thrilling. Music is also a native language for children. It is more important to our human experience than we realize.
Music (especially with lyrics) is usually very personal- I don’t hear well and once I “get” the song I play it but don’t typically expand my playlist. This has been wonderful discovering new artists genres and styles. I would not have dreamed of doing this on my own!
If you danced, in a few words tell me how it made you feel!
It fills me with joy!
Loved
ALIVE!!
Dancing brings me joy!! It sounds silly but one of my fav things to do is learn dance tik toks and do them with my daughters

I am just so filled with joy and gratitude right now that you are all having such joyful experiences!! Thanks for responding to the survey and for reading each other's responses! This is how we create the community for this group, which is what makes it even more AMAZING!! Thanks for your kind comments and gratitude!
YOU ARE SO WELCOME! YOU LIGHT UP MY LIFE!!
