Start your day with a song and you’ll be singing all day long! Why? Because when you sing your brain emits endorphins and endorphins make you HAPPY!
A teacher at a recent workshop asked if I had a song mix of good morning songs. Your wish is my command! Well, actually, your wish is my webmaster’s command because he waved his magic wand and taaa daaa!
You can go to my Song Store to get a copy.
Hint! Choose one song and use it every day for several weeks. Then it will become an "indicator" in the brain to get ready for a great day!
Here are a few of my favorites that go to familiar tunes you should all know.
