Spring has Sprung!

Don't get me wrong, I'm going to assume that we're still going to get a downfall of snow randomly, something like 10 inches or so. Of course it will be gone the next day...but March is tricky in Minnesota. Either way, there is nothing like a 70 degree day to lift spirits and wake you up from the Daylight Savings hangover.

Fundraising is going slow but the support is overwhelming.  My friends, family, coworkers everyone so far is really excited and willing to help either fundraise or donate what they can. If anything I'm able to get the word out and talk openly about doing something bigger then me.

Anyway, you know those days where music just sounds better? Its like no matter what you put on, your body just fills with glee and you think, "I forgot how much I LOVE this song!" Well today is one of those days.  And here is what is making my stomach get butterflies, my eyes widen and my cheeks smile. 

Cloud Cult is one of my favorite local bands. They write songs that speak to peace and humanity as well as are environmentall conscious about all their business practices.  Their sound is holistic and all encompassing in that they know how to use many different instruments and voices and sounds to create something that is bigger than they are.  I think that may be why I'm so drawn to them.  Their lyrics are powerful and in my opinion Craig Minowa is a genius.  They have a great back story for a band and in this song chain reaction I think they speak to peace and coming together, saying "put out love and they'll feel love, it's a chain reaction."


Cloud Cult : Chain Reaction
This comes from their album "Tea Partying through Tornados" I highly recommend it!





And this song just made me want to dance today!

Enjoy and have a splendid day and remember "A little madness in the spring is wholesome even for a king!"
