It’s 4/20… Let’s Get Lifted!!: Get High, Improve Your Vibe
Today I return to my home desk and computer to remotely teach the students... who will show up. Lol
In the days before the COVID-19 pandemic, students lifted my spirits on a daily basis with their immature and mature actions and anecdotes. Something that happened in the classroom that caused disruption for a moment became laughable later among friends and family at dinner. Because I have not physically seen my babies since mid-March, I have had to find other sources to lift my spirits. Writing, watching comedy sketches and Zooming with FRAMILY are in full effect. Also, I rely on music to lift my spirits. Music has soothed my soul and been my escape ALL my life — including in the womb when my father used to put headphones around my mother’s belly. So, here’s my 20 for 4/20 playlist. Feel free to drop a “feel good” song you use in the comments.

These songs get me moving and singing at the top of my lungs to heighten my vibration level.
