2020 Soundtrack
2020 has been a challenging year for all. The pandemic has been compared to both world wars and all the other health pandemics before them. With a new vaccine on the way, there is a message of hope. Until the vaccine becomes safe and available to all, the world works on becoming tighter neighbours and some people have done whatever it took bring smiles to those less fortunate.

The Playlist That Kept My Kids Sane Throughout The Pandemic
In early March when the kids were about to go on Spring Break, there were rumors going around the district forums that the kids may not be returning to school because of this mysterious virus we had limited information on. It went from the district delaying 2 weeks to a full month, and then we got the call they wouldn't be returning at all. I was in straight panic mode. My kids both 4 and 2 now both have autism. They thrive on structure and routine, and not to mention they were getting services through the special education department.

My Year in Song
January: Better by Khalid The year started off hopeful, as usual. Armed with my list of resolutions, I felt ready for anything. I was prepared to fight off my mental demons and achieve my dream body for the fifth year in a row. The new semester was coming and with it, new opportunities for genuine connections and happiness. I felt a great sense of euphoria. The essence of these feelings was perfectly captured by the song Better by Khalid.

My 2020 Soundtrack
As 2020 finally finds itself on the way out and we blow our noisemakers alone in our living rooms this Thursday offering it good riddance, we have to do these requisite round ups of the year that was. I have no idea why, apparently it's the law or something.

2020: The Tracks of My Year
Let's be honest, there wasn't much that 2020 had to offer us. Between $1200 stimulus checks to spread over nine months (if you live in the U.S.), a never-ending presidential election, a global pandemic in the form of a virus, and a global pandemic in the form of police brutality, 2020 felt like falling down on a trampoline while everyone else just keeps jumping.

Songs On My Grief Playlist
Crying is good for you. The alternative to crying is holding it all inside. That may work for a while, but eventually, the tears will come. I know this as a widow who experienced sudden loss. I also know this as a counselor.

7 Nigerian Songs That Are Actually Really Scary
You'll never hear these songs the same way. The beauty of music and storytelling through song is that a lot of times, artistes can write songs about topics that are otherwise heavy and melancholic, but put over a nice beat and good melody, it can become something palatable to the average consumer.
