Music That Moves Me

I've had the Moana soundtrack playing on repeat in my car for a few months now. It's great having children, because I can say they are the reason I have Moana playing constantly.... However, in reality, it's me that probably enjoys the music the most! One of my favorite songs is I Am Moana. It moves me! I feel it in my soul. The words are beautiful. I hope that my family and ancestors see me in similar fashion. I hope they say that I stand apart from the crowd, that I make my whole family proud. I hope that my scars continue to heal and reveal where I am. The people I love have changed me. The things I have learned guide me. I need to listen to that quiet voice inside me and realize I have come so far. "Do you know who you are?" I'm still trying to find out who I am and what my mission is on earth. I am seeking. One of my favorite lines is "and the call isn't out there at all it's inside me". I've felt I'm missing something in my life. I'm not sure what it is and I have been seeking so many outside sources of knowledge looking for the answer, but the answer is not "out there" it's inside me. When I find it I will carry it in my heart and it will remind me, that come what may, I know the way. I am Sheena!

Gramma Tala: I know a girl from an island
She stands apart from the crowd
She loves the sea and her people
She makes her whole family proud

Sometimes the world seems against you
The journey may leave a scar
But scars can heal and reveal just
Where you are

The people you love will change you
The things you have learned will guide you
And nothing on Earth can silence
The quiet voice still inside you
And when that voice starts to whisper
Moana, you've come so far
Moana, listen
Do you know who you are?

Moana: Who am I?
I am the girl who loves my island
I'm the girl who loves the sea
It calls me

I am the daughter of the village chief
We are descended from voyagers
Who found their way across the world
They call me

I've delivered us to where we are
I have journeyed farther
I am everything I've learned and more
Still it calls me

And the call isn't out there at all
It's inside me
It's like the tide, always falling and rising
I will carry you here in my heart
You'll remind me
That come what may, I know the way
I am Moana!

Eye opening

I have a neighbor. She is AMAZING! I've told her multiple times that if she ever wonders why she moved into this particular place, it's because of me. I need her love, light, and inspiration. Our friendship is pure and authentic. We respect each other. When we are together, we are fully present. We love and lift one another. It's a beautiful friendship and I feel so very blessed that she has come into my life. She had an idea to interview someone in particular and I helped her run through the interview questions with me. I was not told the questions before hand. This is real life my friends. Haha! You will hear our children playing next to us and in the background. It was a beautiful experience and I'm grateful to share it with you! We need more love in this world. We need more positive and uplifting experiences to learn and grow from. I hope you enjoy!

The beautiful art from our daughters. The funny part is my husband let my daughter "paint" his nails with markers one day and the idea obviously stuck with her from months ago. 

Creating masterpieces.

My daughter had me "paint" her nails too.
