Building A Soundtrack to your life

I watched an old documentary about Celine Dion of when she went back to her Las Vegas shows after having her twin boys and she talks about song called Seventeen, because she had such a hard time at school and I did too. I wasn't super pretty, I had yellow teeth from drinking lots of tea and had to cut down as it stains the teeth, had what is was known as "Puppy fat" and why I started my google blog Building Confidence The Ugly Duckling and it made me think about if I created a soundtrack of my life what songs would I choose?




Music really helps me. It helps to wake me up, calm down and feel blissful. I have changed my soundtrack because I no longer living in self pity and now get up and do the things that help make the day of how I feel presently and my next steps. The song Dancing In the dark by Bruce Springsteen always lifts me up, Do you know where you going to, Diana Ross and It's my turn. 

Livin' On a Prayer is my anthem for where I was in the 90's when I really came out of my shell and changed. I became a tom boy rather than being a girl girly type and started to wear jeans instead of dresses, with tracksuit bottoms, but I also joined leading up to the 90's, dancing school and its like riding a bike as soon as I hear a song I used to dance to remember the steps and the dance with going  to watch a rugby helped built my confidence and fell in love with football and changed my mindset of the world. 

I love sharing the music I love and now use it to inspire me to do my radio show. I get nervous and feel a little now because it is out of my comfort zone but I enjoy it at the same time and its my thing and like putting it together and learn more doing the job rather than reading how to do a job its the best way for me and its always been like that for me. 

You don't learn to dance reading but doing. I do love to read to help unwind and helps with my other joy, writing but sharing my experiences and what has worked for me and I enjoy putting a book together and different styles but in terms of learning with writing is to write. I write fiction comedy and thriller and non fiction which I am writing a new parenting book which has a parenting book I never published.

The more you do something the better you become. 

So what is your soundtrack? You can leave a comment below. 

Many thanks for reading,

I love a Bacon Sandwich and a Cup of tea

Image
I don't have a bacon sandwich all the time, but now and then with a cup of tea. It is good to have the things you enjoy to feel excited. I love my food now, being super fuzzy as a child and when I have a Bacon Sandwich it reminds me of my dad as every weekend he'd make me a Bacon or Sausage sandwich but found it super filling and wouldn't eat all of it, which my dad would get annoyed with and didn't like how soggy the bread would get. Now it is part of it, but a Bacon roll is a delicious too and nice to have this to warm up the body and feel satisfied and it actually helps with my appetite by being full and not snacking so much. The tea I normally have is, Tetley's or Yorkshire Tea. I do occasionally have herbal and like a bit of lemon and honey in the winter, in my tea. I like my afternoon cup and like to have a cuppa in the evening when reading my book before bedtime.  The book I am reading at the moment is The Street by Anthony Quinn. I bought it from a Charity s...

A Cup of Tea and Toast

Image
Hello and welcome to my site and for checking out this blog site. I am writing this as I have my second cup of tea for the day with, two slices of toast with Jam. This is the life.  Nothing better my book and a cup of tea which I do each morning and evening I love nothing better and make sure I have something to eat in the morning. I can't function on an empty stomach and it can be a bowl of cereal some days, we had waffles this week too, with Chocolate Spread and Maple Syrup and often my son loves Scrambled egg on toast.  There was a time I'd skip breakfast and not eat until midday. Mainly when I was working at a holiday camp because I wouldn't eat until the first shift of the day was be over and couldn't stomach food and  I did lose a lot of weight for while as I was moving more than what I was eating and drinking alcohol, a lot of the time and binge drinking is not a good idea. So now I will fuel myself when I get up in the morning to kick start my day and it has mad...

Cup of tea and a Mag

Image
Shopping with my son I really wanted to read a magazine with a cup of tea. It took me ages to find where they were and not something I buy all the time now. Buying a magazine all the time, I wouldn't read them so would be a waste, so it is something I buy now and then and will on the occasion buy the Big Issue. I love to just have a cup of tea, Yorkshire Tea or Tetley Teabags and a the Woman And Home magazine.  It is good to read up interviews and just a break from books. I do love books but treat myself to a mag and do get inspired by many of them articles. Not just celebrities but normal folk where people have begun a hobby and now it is their business.  I remember reading about a woman who lost her legs in the London Bombings and became a wheelchair Professional Wheelchair Netball Player. It is good to have sometime to chill and on Saturday it was a rainy day. When shopping we each allowed us to pick 4 things to buy and it was good. Doing different things and having that ti...
