Today’s song is more somber than last week’s celebration. I’ve been watching it the past week when I go to bed. Honestly, it makes me cry. But there is much to cry about these days. But it also uplifts me. So I hope it uplifts you as well.
Sorry, late. I’m saying its a Holi edition, but mostly it’s a reference to last week’s George Harrison song (see it at https://blissfullu.com/2026/03/02/motivational-music-monday-peace-on-earth-edition/). This is the only video I ever watch from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In 2004, both Prince and George Harrison were inducted into this honor. George Harrison had died, … More Motivational Music Monday: Holi Edition
Ironically, last week I chose this song for today’s Motivational Music Monday before our War with Iran began. Did I know subconsciously it was coming? I don’t think so, but who knows. Maybe it was just Divine Inspiration preparing me for what was to come. Whatever, the song was very meaningful to me last week, … More Motivational Music Monday: Peace on Earth Edition
Ever since the Loving Forward Together rally organized by Rev. William Barber on Valentines Day, I’ve been all about the Storge. That even was all about pursuing progressive political activism but with love instead of hate, with positivity instead of negativity. Rev. Barber asked us what we love enough to fight for, rather than asking … More Motivational Music Monday: Storge Edition
This weekend I went to the Mass People’s Assembly organized by Repairers of the Breach and led by Rev. William Barber. The theme of the event, which was held on Valentine’s Day, was “Love Forward Together.” It was a fantastic gathering that I will be talking about in another post. So it is the source … More Motivational Music Monday: Love Forward Together Edition
One of the great joys of the past few months has been following the progress of the Venerable Monks in their Walk for Peace. It has been such a nice counterpoint to the violence and anger we’ve seen in Minneapolis and other divided areas in our country. We got to actually hear the Monks speak … More Motivational Music Monday: Venerable Monks Edition
Not much to say except who does it better than Bruce Springsteen. Enjoy,
For a lighter look at Ice… Today’s song comes courtesy of the Music teacher at the school where I teach regularly. I was subbing for her last week and this song was part of some of her lesson plans…. which were GREAT! I had so much fun teaching her classes. Wth a huge snowstorm sweeping … More Motivational Music Monday: Winter Storm Fern Edition
Yesterday, I led a meditation for our spiritual center’s service based on something I had read from the Rev. William Barber. Rev. Barber is one of the spiritual leaders based in North Carolina, but actually serving the entire county. In addition to being a Pastor at Greenleaf Christian Church in Goldsboro, NC from 1993 to … More Motivational Music Monday: MLK Edition
I know it’s Tuesday, not Monday. As I explained in yesterday’s post, the story I was trying to tell for a Sunday post I didn’t finish until Monday. I wanted to post that story before this one, so that was Monday’s priority (if you missed it, you can read that here: https://blissfullu.com/2026/01/12/fight-back-with-fierce-joy/). So, yes, I … More Motivational Music Monday: Artists Against Animal Farm Edition
