I am so excited to Wake Up! with John Legend

By a show of hands, who is familiar with John Legend? He is one of my favorites. I just bought his newest album, Wake Up!  The title song is going to be my theme song for the month of October. It's a remake of the original song by Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes. I love it. The original came out in 1975, the year I was born. Just so happens, my birthday is this month too.

This is an exciting time for me. I feel like I have awakened from a long sleep. I'm excited to participate in my life and in the lives of the people I love. My heart and mind are on the same page now. It's a wonderful feeling to let go of guilt and frustration and to stop "keeping up appearances".

You should try it.

I love John Legend. He has such a silky smooth voice. I just heard Wake Up for the first time. Cool. I also really like Everybody Knows and Stay With Me. He's got a great sound.

Cheers for deciding to let go of guilt and frustration. It might take a while to get through the transition you're going through but it is so worth it to live an authentic life, for yourself and not anyone else.

I love I Wish I Knew How it Would Feel to be Free. A LOT.

And I loved Ordinary People when it came out .

I like that one too. It's gospely and speaks to the soul.
