Powerful Words

Powerful Words

Words are powerful. They can be used to heal or to hurt. To build up or to tear down. To encourage or to discourage.

Over the past few weeks I have personally experienced the negative side of this and was greatly in need of encouragement.

Look what I received in the mail yesterday. A word of encouragement & thanks from thousands of miles away. Thank you Jo Owens from Australia! You took the time to send handcrafted cards with deeply meaningful words of thanks via airmail. I know that God inspired you to reach out to me and this ministered to my heart more than you will ever know.

I challenge each of us to take the time to show kindness and to speak words of encouragement. If someone around you is struggling, take time to find out why and be a protective covering for that person. Use your words to help.

{Review & Giveaway} Cuddlebug Parade CD

Cuddlebug Parade Cd Giveaway

.

Check out the fabulous new Cuddlebug Parade CD by Michal “Peanut” Karmi! 

Peanut sweetly sings about the joys of playing in the mud, eating colorful vegetables, savoring a beautiful day, or just plain being silly.  In a nutshell: celebrating things that matter. A jazzy mix of ukulele, string bass, trombone, trumpet, clarinet and a tasteful sprinkling of percussion underscore Peanut’s sweet vocals. Highlights include Little Bear Blue,” which was written for Alicia Silverstone’s son Bear Blu; “Stompin’ At The Market,” an activity song that’s especially fun when it “jumps” to a faster tempo; “My Outfit’s Not Complete!,” a two-beat ode to the polka-dotted, striped, and plaid occupants of the closet; and “Abuelita,” a Spanish song with nice stand-up bass accompaniment. Peanut also includes several spoken word interludes chanted to an invigorating rhythmic pulse, such as “Six Little Pickles,” and “The Big Bug Band” (a nursery story-time answer to rap, backed by some fine action from drummer Josh Collazo of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, plus hand claps and supporting rhythm vocals).

  • Release Date: November 9, 2014
  • Label: Sweetly Spun Music
  • Artist: Michal “Peanut” Karmi
  • Total Length: 37:41

What I love about this CD:

  • Unique catchy tunes, great beats and sweet vocals. Everything I love about Kindie music shines through in this CD!
  • Several of the songs will tie in nicely to kids yoga lesson plans that I have designed around picture books.
  • Lots of fun descriptive language and rhyming.
  • Positive upbeat messages in the lyrics.
  • Three of the songs are multilingual.

About the Artist:

Michal “Peanut“ Karmi is a critically acclaimed children’s musician and entertainer based in Los Angeles, California. Such acclaim is no easy feat, when critics include two year-olds and their sleep-deprived parents. Peanut’s sweet voice, clever lyrics and joyful instrumentation create a warm and welcoming musical playground.
