Have You Explored Free Change?

I recently obtained an MP3 Player. I never had need of one until I started working because I was home all the time. There, I had XM Radio and was perfectly happy. Until my satellite radio fried.

But since I have a short commute these days, I like finding books, interviews or life lessons in MP3 format and get a little learning on the way to work.

I've stumbled upon a few interesting places in my journey to educate. There are free downloads out there. I thought nothing was free anymore. I'm here to say, adventures are free.

On a site called YouPublish, you can find free music, spoken work and an interview on time travel, if you're into that sort of thing. And I am. And it was free! It was worth listening to because of all the conversations it started.

But, back to free. If you're a music listener and dare to hear new, eclectic or interesting stuff, you might want to check out Amazon's free music downloads. There are a few caveats. You must have an account, but signing up is free. You need a credit card on file with them. But they do not bill you if the price is "free". You will have to download Amazon's MP3 down loader, also free. After that they will send you email updates when new free stuff arrives. Check out this
free album . The music I've down loaded isn't always to my taste, and it's easy enough to delete. But I have discovered some new people I may never have heard of otherwise, like Erin McCarley.

What I like is expanding my musical interests to include Latin Dance, Classical and World Music. It's like treasure hunting for tunes.

Do you have a free download that you want to share? I'd love to hear about it!

Honestly Ok

Some days life's just too much, isn't it?

Contemplative, slightly dark

and so... November, cloudy, rainy fall.

Mad World

This sort of music feeds something deeply familiar to me. I can't quite put my finger on it. This sort of feeling comes over me mostly in November and lasts until the first snow flies. I like this song.

What do you think?

Wild Imaginings

If you could imagine any wild thing happening in your life, anything at all, king for a day, travel to New Zealand, wearing your pajamas to work, what would it be?

What outrageous thing would you want to happen?
What outrageous goal would you want to reach?
What seemingly impossible dream would come true?

And what if it happened? How would it change your life?

Would it change your life?

If it came true, what would be your next outlandish idea?

Transition

Fall

When that last little bit of color drops

from grey branches revealing cloudy skies.

When the birds V-line for sunny climates.

When the brown leaves blow away and

leave grass in two shades: faded green and paling.

The days are shorter when the sun leaves

the moon in charge .

When November rain slicks everything darker

and chills to the bone.
