#MusicMonday is dedicated to "Circle Of Life" from The Lion King. A representation of the many species that support the existence of life and a fun sing-a-long!
#MusicMonday this week is dedicated to the theme, "Change the World". Everyday we have a chance to make a difference by choosing to wake up and be the best version of ourselves. No matter where we come from, what we look like, past or anticipated future, we have the ability to change the world by acknowledging the impact we have on the people and places around us. Tomorrow is election day in the United States and there has been a lot of controversy and embarrassment surrounding how we have represented ourselves as a nation. Irregardless of that and how you may feel about all of this, the reality is that we will be making a collective decision on behalf of our country and for our future. Your individual vote DOES make a difference and although it may feel impossible to make the "right" choice, making a choice at all is one way that you can continue to have a voice and help "Change the World". It might not be perfect, it never is, but it is our duty to stand up for the democracy we have built by exercising our right to vote. I chose these three videos as a collective theme for #MusicMonday this week. I challenge you to watch and listen to at least ONE, if not all three, regardless of your taste in music. Put yourself in someone else's shoes and try to imagine what their struggle might be like. At the very least, I encourage you to click on the links to read the lyrics, which send a strong message about the world we live in and the cultures we allow to thrive. Unfortunately not a lot has changed since the late 90's and it is our job to acknowledge this and address how we can "Change the World" for a brighter future for all.
"I see no changes all I see is racist faces Misplaced hate makes disgrace to races

We gotta make a change It's time for us as a people to start makin' some changes. Let's change the way we eat, let's change the way we live And let's change the way we treat each other. You see the old way wasn't working so it's on us to do What we gotta do, to survive."
