Boho Girl

Lykke Li & Bon Iver

Tonight my husband pulled me into his office and told me to put his huge earphones on and said “Here is some inspiration for you honey…she has amazing musicality!”

He had this video up for me to watch. Oh my. Inspired indeed.

Wanted to share. Mmmmm…enjoy.

Just wanted to share with you a sweet moment with Cedar and his play tools. This is actually a daily passion of his. Turning whatever he is playing with into an instrument when the inspiration nudges. One of my favorite things is walking into the room when he doesn’t know I am there and he is closing his eyes, strumming an air guitar really slowly and swaying his head. Totally in his own little zone. He reminds me to pause and go to what feels nourishing when I need to.

I know I have been so quiet here this past week. I have a juicy story to share and will do so very very soon. My energies have been focused on our wee boy who has been teething his two year molars, pushing through…all at once. The constant drool is causing a lot of congestion and the nights have been long, needing to hold him up on my chest so he can breathe comfortably. He wakes up happy but mama wakes up weary, so I have been trying to rest during his naps.

Until my next post, I wanted to ask you for some music suggestions. I will be going on a road trip in late April with some lovelies and am going to make a few road trip CD’s. Do you have a favorite road trip song(s)?

{Boho Boy and I adore this photo I took of Cedar a few days ago. We love his rhythm and groove}

Totally and completely mesmerized by this music video.  Wanted to share with you.

Her Morning Elegance by Oren Lavie

…and impromptu Cedar ditty. So many life questions for this little soul. This song sums it up perfectly.

I was introduced to Keri’s music by my friend Marybeth (who will soon be my real life neighbor in June 2011).  Marybeth has often shared with me that Keri’s voice is hypnotizing and here on her blog, she goes deeper into Keri as a friend, an artist and an inspiring soul.

Finally, I received a CD in the mail by Keri and I have not stopped listening since.  Her voice has been carrying me through my days.  So soulful and it makes me ache for the day I can sit with her on a couch and hear about the journey that led her to such soul drenched lyrics.

You can listen to a few of her songs from her debut album White Swan on her Myspace  or on CD Baby and iTunes.

We are giving away a CD here on my blog.  Just leave a comment on this post(one per person, please) and in a few days, a winner will be chosen over at random.org.  I will announce the winner at the bottom of this post.  You’ll just need to send me an email with your mailing address.

Her music will shift your heart in beautiful ways.
