For the love of family, friends, and music...
I have burned 2 CD's in as many days. The first was a baby shower gift. It included Rosemary Clooney, Thank Heaven for Little Girls and Isaac Hayes, The First Time Ever I Saw your Face. Additional tracks by Ben Folds, Harry Nilsson, Ane Brun, Lux, Macy Gracy and other lullaby like songs. The second is a Christmas present for my soon to be 12 year old (or is it 11?) niece. Her CD had a total different vibe, it is mainly high energy and includes Justin Timberlake's Sexy Back (rapidly becoming a guilty pleasure of mine) and Say it Right by Nelly Furtado. There is also a couple of tracks by Fergie, Beyonce, Gwen, etc.
Creating these masterpieces takes lots of thought and time on my part, but there is more to it then just the music - there is the presentation too. At first look I was intimidated by this whole process, then I found Audio Label.
This software labeling software is SO easy to use AND they are currently offering a 15 day trial. Sweet! Thank you Audio Label for making my labor of love look good too.

Laughter is a precious gift.
Yesterday I received a wonderful uplifting gift - I made my Dad laugh. I did not do or say anything extremely funny; he laughed because he was in a joyful mood.
It is not easy to be joyful when you have a terminal illness and have received nothing but bad news for several months straight. The enormity of it all has taken its toll on my "don't worry be happy" Dad. He certainly has the right to feel down, but it was not easy to see. It really hurts when you realize the man you have known and loved longer than any other is not laughing like he use to; and boy does it feel marvelous when he is. Thanks to all those responsible for bringing him hope and peace of mind.
