I have been talking about responsibility directly or indirectly quite a bit lately. I wanted to share a song I heard awhile back that sadly rang so true. It's called "Cookie Jar" by Jack Johnson, and it's a song about something we all have done one time or another—play the blame game.
I once said, “It is not the words that you say but the energy you place in the words. The tone of your voice and the love you feel as you say or do anything matters.” For example, you could read the New York Times to a baby lovingly, and the child would respond to the love. My father seldom said, “I love you,” but all he had to do was look at me, and I knew.
This song arrived at exactly the right time for me, and it helped me through a very difficult situation in my life. I am sharing it with you today in the hopes that it might do the same for you.
I was sent this video the other day and wanted to share it with all of you. I found it so real, I found myself crying, actually sobbing . I cannot put into words why this touched me in the depths of my being. These wonderful Ukrainian musicians singing praise while living the horrors of war around them. There is nothing I can say that could make this more power-filled than it is. Take some time and let it seep into your being.
