MUSIC TO SOOTHE THE SOUL How Sinatra, Dolly Parton, and the Opera Impact Me Music is essential to our well-being. It can calm us down when we’re feeling stressed, inspire and motivate us, or cheer us up if we’re having a bad day. Since June 21 is World of Music Day, I thought I would share my favorite artists and why they mean so much to me! I listen to everything, but my favorites would have to be Frank Sinatra, Dolly Parton, and opera singers! That may seem like an odd variety, but they all help me navigate my schedule in different ways. Frank Sinatra What stood out (and still stands out) about Frank Sinatra was his entire persona and how he delivered lyrics. His music tells stories in such a calming and reflective way that it can relax me whenever I’m having a bad day. Additionally, if you’re ever on a long car ride, then I suggest playing any one of his albums and singing along! It’s one of my favorite things to do because you can easily get swept up in the music and lose track of time!

To get the maximum nutritional benefit that spinach has to offer, snack on it raw. Although cooking spinach does release more of its vitamin A through oxalic acid, a small amount of the other nutrients are lost in the process. Use raw spinach in salads or even fruit smoothies if you want something a little sweeter during the day.

Those few minutes I take to listen to her
music help give me perspective
on whatever situation I’m handling. Opera
After a long day at the office, listening to opera helps me decompress, even for just a short time. Similar to Sinatra, opera music tells a story, but it’s refreshing due to its style. Most opera music is sung in a
foreign language, which makes it feel less like a song and more like an experience. When I close my eyes, the music takes me away from everything, and after a few minutes, I’m ready to tackle the next project in my way. So, what are some of your favorite genres or artists? My music tastes may be eclectic, but I’m always looking for new and exciting music!
