Spring brings new beginnings and big changes. They’re not always the best kind, but they’re guaranteed to happen, and that culminated with Summer Solstice (the 21st) the longest day of the year and our “last chance for true growth” before the days begin to shorten again, into winter. Or so I’ve been told.
I’m not personally Wiccan, so I still think we can all grow… and I absolutely know that if I need support, a leg up, or even just to vent, I can rely on my Punky Family.
So I wanted to make my new beginning as a spin doctor reflect my love and adoration for everyone here. Everything from a new recipe, new ways to save some dough, clean that toddler marker off of the couch the day before the guests arrive, suggestions on how to deal with your passive aggressive in-laws or birthday party themes, encouragement to lose some weight, games to amuse, or people to chat with when the baby just won’t lay down, breastfeeding support, a new perspective, a solid gut laugh, or a current hot topic… you always add positive things to the day! No one supports like a Punky, and you have my undying gratitude and loyalty.
This “family by choice” is the epitome of stronger as a group. We are certainly individually all doing the best we can with parenthood… but as a group we really are collectively kicking this parenting thing in the ass!
This playlist is pulled from across the musical genres to reflect our diversity of location, experience, taste, style and perspective. A bit of metal, a smidgen of reggae, a touch of country, a hint of pop, a smattering of RnB, some classics, a chunk of ska and what we do most often, of course, Punk.
The lyrics are your reassurance, and the tempo is to lift your spirits. There’s a little something, for anyone listening, to tell you we’ve got your back, welcome to the Family and thank you, from the bottom of my rebellious punkass heart.
