"You Can't Make Your Heart Feel Something It Won't"

I have learned a lot about heartbreak today. A good friend of mine is going through a break up and I have been trying to figure out how I can make her feel better. I put myself in her shoes and realized that I would get though the stages of grief through music. So as I'm going though my music library I began to realize that broken hearts make for some amazing music! Here is a VERY condensed list of some of my favorite songs having to do with heartbreak.

The Scientist-Coldplay

I Can't Make You Love Me-Bonnie Raitt

Slow Dancin' in a Burning Room-John Mayer

Apologies-Grace Potter and the Nocturnals

You Don't Bring Me Flowers-Neil Diamond and Barbara Streisand

Goodbye Waves and Drive Away-The Rocket Summer

Bound to Happen-The Spill Canvas

Bent-Matt Nathanson

Missing You-John Waite

Honorable Mention: Goodbye My Lover-James Blunt.........Just kidding ;)

"Lights, Camera, Action when I walk through the door"

Anyone who knows me probably knows how close I am to my brother. He is my best friend and I am so proud of the person that he is becoming. I don't even have the words to express it.

I just love my brother.

April Fool's!

Nothing significant happen this April Fool's Day. Unfortunately, there were no good jokes pulled. I opted against my usual telling my parents I'm pregnant routine, because oddly, I don't think they find it too amusing. As usual I was the butt of many jokes that the kids I nanny for tried to pull on me.....so yeah, yesterday was fantastic (Do you detect that sarcasm?).

A friend sent this video to me yesterday and I think it would be an epic April Fool's joke.

"Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger"

I have too much time on my hands if I'm watching stuff like this....

"Summatime"

It's getting to be that time of year when the semester is almost over and I have to start trying to figure out what I am going to do for the summer. I have a couple different options. There are two camps that I have the opportunity to work at. One is an all girls camp called Bridges that is two separate weeks in the summer. The other is a camp that I worked at this last summer called ZonaYuthKamp. This is just for one week in July and it is held in California.

Because I don't think I have the energy to work two camps this summer, I need to choose between the two. I will probably end up going with Bridges because of the pay and because I need the change in atmosphere. Bridges is going to be a great opportunity as well because it actually has to do with the field I want to go into. It is a leadership camp for high school age girls and it is an opportunity for them to build their self-esteem.

My ultimate goal is to someday open a youth camp that has this same leadership/confidence building atmosphere. I think it is so important for young teenage kids to have those skills before they finish high school and I want to do whatever I can to enable them.
