Music playes a big part in my life, Just about everything I do is done to music. When I'm studing I have to have the music playing, when I'm cleaning it's playing, and even during family night we have the music blasting.  Mucis is a stress reliver for me, it helps to calm my spirit. I listen to all types of music, the mood im in determine the type of music I listen to at that moment. It has also opened up a better line of communaction between my children and myself, we love to dance together,while doing this they explain there music to my and it gives me a chance to explain my music to them, I call it my bridge between generations. Music as also helpped me to better understand the people around me, when you really listen to the words they explain alot about people and different cultures. Let's take rap for an instance, It tells a story about people living in the getto, raising out of poverty, abuse, and violance. I can relate to this besause it once was my life. Now you have what I call the oldies which entitle scuh artis like the temtation, OJ's and the stylistic, I relate to this type of misic because it makes me feel love, and passion. This music bridges the gap between my mother and I this is when we sit down with a glass of something and enjoy eachother's company. Now gosple has oppened up my heart and mind this is truely a music that has changed my life, listening to this music makes me think about every thing around me and every thing going on in my life.Gosple is what inspired me to move out of LosAngeles, to better my life, and to become closer with my family. Before this I think I was a bitter person because of the thinkgs I've seen and been through in my life, but through gosple I have joy and inner peace
