Day 4099: Sing Out

Yesterday, on Sing Out Day, I heard esperanza spalding sing out and play bass at a Boston Symphony Orchestra concert of Wayne Shorter music.

If you want to hear esperanza sing out with her voice, start at 12:11 of this Wayne Shorter tribute concert on YouTube:

.

Joyful, talented, and creative people like esperanza spalding and Wayne Shorter make me want to sing out about humanity.

I also want to sing out my gratitude to my husband Michael for giving me the gift of that amazing concert.

Is there anything in today’s blog post that makes you want to sing out?

On Be Mad Day, I’m going to sing out my two “mad” songs: “I’m Mad About You” and “Other People’s Anger” (not yet on YouTube).

Feel free to sing out about anything in the comments section, below.

Thanks to all who help me sing out every day through this blog, including YOU!

Day 3833: The power to change

If I didn’t believe that people had the power to change, I wouldn’t be a psychotherapist. It’s also occurring to me, here and now, that “The Power to Change” might be a good title for the book my friend Megan and I are writing about our experiences as psychotherapists. Other possible book titles include …

  • “Psyched About Psychotherapy”
  • “All Healing is Mutual”
  • “You Have Options”
  • “It’s Not Your Grandfather’s Psychotherapy”

… all of which we have the power to change.

When I’m scared or overwhelmed, I can forget that I have the power to change things, including myself.

Do you see the power to change in my images for today?

.

On National Financial Freedom Day, too many Americans don’t have the power to change their financial situation to reach financial freedom, especially after the recent Supreme Court rulings.

I probably don’t have the power to change the person on Twitter who replied to my last question of the day with this: “One of the most sideways leftist tweets I’ve ever seen. Do you, Ann.”

However, I do have the power to change my reaction to that by replying, “Thanks. I will.”

Here’s what I find on YouTube when I search for “the power to change.”

I’m happy to hear from Nat Kendall-Taylor that framing has the power to change the bias against old people.

Thanks to all who have the power to change, including YOU.
