What a great idea! I journal every morning and a song always pops into my head, which I note down. I keep saying to myself I’ll make a mixtape! One of these days. Today my song is, May It Be, by Enya.

Love it, Becky! What a sweet idea. Forwarding to my submissions buddy, who I sit with on Zoom every Wednesday evening while we do our submissions (or whatever is on our writing To Do lists).

Thank you, Becky! What a great idea for Three-Days-Before-November-Fifth-Twenty-Twenty-Four! I appreciate your effort and your kindness. Can't wait to hear it - especially Dolly P. and Bonnie R.

Thank you! 🤩 for my friends and i it was cds! Some went all out with homemade cover art and titles. I had so many good, then good but glitchy, mixes. I really appreciate this gesture! Will listen soon. 😊

Thank you Becky! I needed a lift! What a great idea for connecting in a different way. I enjoyed the different genres, especially Sia.

I love that you did this. I was going to write more but the election comments… I have loved ones who will cancel my vote and every time I read posts that dismiss them my heart breaks a little more. So I’m saying thank you with tears in my eyes. It’s a hard, heart-wrenching time.

James Taylor's "You've Got a Friend" for sure. "When you're down and troubled, and you need some lovin' care, and nothing, no nothing is going right..."

Let's hope we get a friend in the White House on Tuesday--the one who stands for hope, not hate.

Love this! I'm going to suggest "Time and Time Again" by the Smithereens. The message may be a little pessimistic, but the music is totally upbeat!
