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.) :)
What a perfect way to kick off your new blog and the new year. I love it. Since my goal is to be in a place where love can find me this year...I reached back to Beyonce's BDay album and pulled "Upgrade You". :-)
Hi Cuz, Happy New Year!! Love the new blog!!! I'm going to have to go back to my ANTHEM!!! GOLDEN by Jill Scott..Maya(the last of the 3 musketeers)will be graduating from HS this year. So the following speaks volumes to me and where I'm at: I'm taking my freedom, pulling it off the shelf,putting on my chain, wearing it around my neck, I'm taking my freedom, putting in my car, wherever I choose to go it will take me far..I'm livin my life like it's GOLDEN!!
This is going to be fun and exciting Steph! I'm looking forward to more PINK stuff and PINK info. With that said, I'm simply looking a vibrant and fulfilling New Year.... In terms of my song... Ummmm.. I'm gonna have to revisit the site with that one...
This year, I intend to make bigger and better decisions by reducing earthly, sensory influences while energizing a more spiritual decision criteria. With that said, Kenny Rogers' "The Gambler" is my theme song for 2011.
Hey, I’m Stephanie! I’m an Atlanta writer & book lover, PR & social media pro, die-hard optimist, cupcake fanatic, cool auntie…a lover of life & all things pink (girl power!)
A Little More....
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).
