I do it every year. It's my own quirky little tradition. It's kinda silly and fun, but it also gives me an opportunity to set the tone for my upcoming year. One year I chose to celebrate to Ms. Chaka Khan's "I'm Every Woman" cuz that's what I was feeling. I had gone through alot and I was so proud of myself! I knew that anything else that came my way--I mean ANYTHING, I could handle it. And you know what? I was right! That was a damn good year for me. It hasn't always been good though. There were times where I felt uncertain about my future and I turned to spiritual songs to help me get through...life. Shout-Out: to Yolanda Adams, Marvin Sapp and Fred Hammond for their inspirational messages through the gift of music. And ohhhh, I can't believe I'm admitting this, but one year I even "Stepped In The Name Of Love" with R. Kelly when I was head-over-heels in love with one of my best friends (that relationship was...I'll save that for another post). Silly-right?
Fast forward to 2011: Time to choose a new song. And I'm not one to break tradition, so here it goes... Ladies and Gents, my theme song for 2011 is **drum roll** "I Feel Good" by one of my favorite singers Mary J. Blige! This song simply describes where I am in my life at this moment. And it says it all: "I feel like the moon is shining just for me... Don't try to bring me down--though it's not like you could." *_- (that's a wink)
"I feel too damn good!" Enough said... Happy New Year!! What's your theme song?
Note: Theme songs can change throughout the year. Just because you choose a song doesn't mean you have to stick to that song all year. You can switch it up based on where you are in your life. I've had up to 4 theme songs in one year! (Don't judge me...I was going through some stuff.) :)

I love music - ALL kinds, especially old-school hip hop (Shout-out to Craig Mack!), the Harlem Renaissance (Langston Hughes & Zora Neale Hurston - whew!), shoes (I'm an addict) and politics (Born & raised in Florida - it's in my DNA).
