The power of music

Certain songs have the power to take your mind on a journey back in time, place or event that has occurred in your life. They can be happy, sad or connect you to a specific events and/or memory of what was occurring at a specific time in your life. Hearing a song from Janis Joplin sent my mind back to a fond memory of when I first met my husband 35 years ago. It just amazes me how specific music can send you back in time.

If you have never listened to J.J. I would like to introduce you to her. She sang from her heart and had a voice that was unique. If you like the jazz and blues and want to be moved by music then try listening to Janis Joplin. She wrote music that withstands time and even though she died long before my time her music lives in my heart and memories.Find a song that can take you back in time to memories of days gone by.

Amazon.com is a great place to listen to enough lines of a song so you can decide if it is something you would like to purchase. Here is the song that sent my mind off into an event that changed my life and gave me a husband that I love even more 35 years later. This also makes a great gift for anniversaries and birthdays.

Another favorite artist of mine is "Jewel". She is a true artist has a special power of creating a song that withstands time. Jewel sings what I call "folk music". However you categorize them however you want but her songs move me. She can take my worries and cares away by listening to the words that touch you heart in a way that nothing else can do. A song that can bring tears show how powerful music can move the soul.

Create Memories in a Unique Way

Going through an old box of pictures and old movies my memories came flowing. They were happy and sad but only I knew the story behind them. Photos can't talk and if only I could find a way to change this. I thought what a waste of our life's history. I couldn't just throw them away, yet, I knew that they would eventually end up in the trash. How I could make the pictures speak and give them life was my problem? I always wished I could know the stories behind my grandparents old photos. I knew my family would like to know about my lifetime of memories.

Searching the web I came across a unique company called "IMemories" and it was the answer to not only my pictures and movies but also to saving space. This was the answer and I could throw 3 boxes of pictures away without losing anything. I was leaving a legacy of my life for generations to come. I could talk for the pictures passing them to my future generations.

One thing that concerned me was changing technology. Putting memories on CD would it get into new technology and still be there. No matter how fast technology changes they usually create a way to put old data onto new forms so this would be an endless collection for many generations to come. I now could let go and discard the old photographs and movies without fear. Kelly Says, Cherish the memories!
