I was listening to my itunes endless, mish mash play list yesterday. I just skipped over songs I didn't want to hear, whilst working. Up came my old friend Leonard Cohen singing, "Dance me to the end of Love". Whilst I by no means claim to be a Leonard Cohen Officialdom. I know when I like a song and, usually, I like other stuff they do to.
It's quite an intense song and I really love it, I usually replay it a couple of times when I stumble across it again.
I enjoy so much of his work, it's hard to pick other favourites and I guess it does depend on my mood. I can say I am partial to these as well:
Leonard Cohen: The Gypsy's Wife
Leonard Cohen & U2 : Tower of Song
As coincidence will have it, today when I am trolling through the news. I see a side story about a new album by this lovely man. So, what did I do, even though I don't have time? I dive in to check out this new work. Old Ideas is the album.
My favourite song off the album is : "Show me The Place", lthough I will need to listen to the album a couple more times. It's usually the one that hits me straight off that remains my favourite.
If you haven't already made Cohen's music your friend, jump in and do it now - you will not regret it xx
This year I am actually making a New Years resolution, which I dont normally do. I'm not really one to take part in such folly, however, this resolution is more of an experiment. I am about to embark on plannning out the next 12 months personally and for the business. So this means I will be locking in days and dates, events and appointments.
I believe, that if I do this, the year will be much less stressful, and of course more organised and professional. The proof will be in the pudding or Christmas Pudding - because I will find out the full outcome of this experiment at the end of the year, when 2012's Christmas will be a breeze - because I'm so organised !!
To achieve this goal I will also be syncing all our phone calenders, work diaries and calenders and texting friends with these dates as well. I think I am going to be super annoying and quite possibly not very flexible, but I will be organised. I will keep you updated as I travel through the year. Big breath - off I go xx
