Just take a Step to Happy....

by Monique Crenshaw


Anyone who truly knows me shouldn't be shocked that I'm a music lover. I like all kinds of music from Jazz to Hip-Hop to RnB/Soul, I'll even listen to a little country if the words speak to me but finding someone else who shares the same enthusiasm about music is odd. I like to think of my self as "Queen Jukebox" lol that name was stolen but it's very fitting.  Anyway, I realized that I like music and words so much because it literally speaks to just about anything you are going through. I could be happy, sad, mad, loving and basically find a song that will fit my mood. 

Over that last couple of days, I've been tested with my musical arsenal by "King Jukebox" who unfortunately loss the title but it made me realize that sometimes change is good. I guess what I'm saying is with everything I go through on a daily basis certain people or things can make you analyze and look at things (you already noticed) a little differently.  Change can be life altering, scary and unpredictable but those are all the things I feel as I'm waiting for my phone call to receive a new liver.  I'm inspired by positivity, music and people and I use those things to help me on a daily basis.  So I guess I have to thank "KJ" for adding a little more too my musical arsenal and a step to happy!
