jana diaries: inspiration

Every time Autumn rolls around I get a hankering for some Andrew Belle music. Particularly, his "Blackbear" Record. I don't know why, it just feels like music you're supposed to listen to when it's cold outside. This has got to be one of my all time favorite albums. Isn't it weird how a song can take you back to a certain moment?

There's a difference between just putting on some music, and then truly listening. Sometimes I like to sit in the middle of my floor with some big headphones on, close my eyes, and listen to a record-start to finish. This is a record I could really listen to, over and over and over again.

Happy October first.

Some of my favorite things lately:

-"I Walked The Line" By Vivian Cash. One of my favorite movies is "I walk the line" with Joaquin Phoenix. But as usual, the movie portrays the story very differently. The majority of the book is actually a compilation of letters from Johnny to Vivian. Heartbreaking, yes. But it really shows the truth of what happened between Johnny and Vivian and June.

-Ryan Adams 1989 cover record. I feel like this is something you'd either love or hate. I definitely jam to "1989", but this cover album is a whole new ball game. Gives me some serious feels.

-This video, inspired by the book "Steal like an Artist".

-This coconut coffee creamer recipe. Dairy and I don't get along too well. So I went searching the great interweb for a coffee creamer recipe that actually tasted good. This recipe right here is a winner. Kind of time consuming, but so yummy!

-"Tiny; a story about living small" This documentary is just downright cool, not to mention inspiring. I would love to live in a tiny house someday. It makes you think twice about how much you really need.

Hope you're having a lovely week!

(Rylee makes a great model, eh?)

These are some tunes I've been listening to this past month. I'm always on a search for more good music. I listen to such a variety of genres, it seems rather eclectic.

By the way, is anyone else completely psyched about the new twenty one pilots record? I just got my blurryface tour ticket and I'm counting down the days until the concert. Last year in October I got to see them live at house of blues, and I can honestly say it was the best concert I've ever been to. If you haven't heard them yet, go listen!

Are you paralyzed with fear? That’s a good sign. Fear is good. Like self-doubt, fear is an indicator. Fear tells us what we have to do. Remember our rule of thumb: The more scared we are of a work or calling, the more sure we can be that we have to do it. Resistance is experienced as fear; the degree of fear equates the strength of Resistance. Therefore, the more fear we feel about a specific enterprise, the more certain we can be that that enterprise is important to us and to the growth of our soul.
