I’ve been hav­ing some emo moments lately, and in my effort to look for songs to accom­pany me, I found out about this great web­site. I call them “songs that cap­ture my state of mind.” And they are. We love music because it makes us remem­ber things of the past and it makes us feel about things hap­pen­ing to us at present.

The con­cept of Stereo Mood is sim­ple: Because behind every song is an emo­tion, so Stereo Mood has cre­ated a way to sug­gest songs that fol­low your feel­ings. Stere­o­mood is the “emo­tional inter­net radio”, pro­vid­ing music that best suits your mood and your activities.

Our life can be a wel­ter of dead­lines, to-do’s and events, so that it’s so hard to breath easy or take a step back and take stock of the things hap­pen­ing to us. But there are more impor­tant things in life than the urgent. The urgent allows us to get by on a day to day. But just doing the day to day makes us lose focus on the more long term and the more last­ing things.

This arti­cle is a good reminder that there are more long last­ing activ­i­ties that we need to do as well–for our peace of mind, for our wholis­tic growth, for the things we really love.

It’s almost Christ­mas. And lest we for­get the real mean­ing of the sea­son, may this video and their story remind us of what it is all about.

What you are about to see is one of the great­est love sto­ries of our mod­ern times…

I totally for­got where I got this (I just had it clipped in Ever­note but it didn’t have any url), so I apol­o­gize to the author. I am not the author of this piece but I totally believe it and agree to the points men­tioned here…

Money is a major sore spot in most rela­tion­ships. And to be mature about it, cou­ples have to plan ahead–before mar­riage and not dur­ing it because it might be too late then– and do their “money talk”. It is a hard and awk­ward topic to talk about I’m sure, but there is wis­dom in being mature about it and plan­ning ahead.
