Music Brings Families Together

-
 

 
Ah music! The greatest mood-modifier of all time! Whether your sad, in love, feeling funny, or just want to dance, we all have our favorites-list tucked away in our hearts. A few times a year, our family will have a sing-a-long night; this is were we take turns at finding old songs that we love on YouTube and play them really loud. We laugh, sing and sometimes dance as a family. We've been doing this for several years now and they truly are some of our greatest family moments. (Honestly, it was my mother who started this tradition. She would play her favorite 50's songs loud and we would dance together. I remember us doing the Mash-Potato and the Twist, and laughing for hours. Really amazing memories!)  

A few weeks back, I thought that it would be great if I had a place I could go to that with all of my favorite videos already saved-up; and so, MARSHA'S PLAYLIST  was born. Now it's even easier for me to enjoy my faves anytime, anywhere---straight off my own website. Handy right?

Looking over my playlist I can see the influence from my travels overseas. So many of my faves are in Hindi and Punjabi; understanding may be limited, but the music is simply amazing. This page is now absolutely one of my favorite resources on my website. I hope that you enjoy it too. (Keep in mind it takes an extra minute to load the full page, but definitely worth it.) Have a look, and get ready to move! http://www.marshamarie.com/marshas-playlist.html

By the way, the only problem that I can see with my list, is that it will NEVER be complete! As soon as I think I have finally added the last video, I think of two others that I want to add. Man, I love music!

And if you have a page with all of your bests on it too,,,, please, share it with me.

The Taboo Kiss

  The Taboo Kiss by Marsha Marie The night is bitter cold. Our shifts started at 11 pm, and the thought of seeing him again was so exciting. We meet up for class as usual and begin chatting. Eighteen years my junior, and all of his attention is on me.  Tonight he wants to go for a walk.  "Let’s go to Fatima Jinnah Park. We can take your car.”  “Sounds great. Let’s go.” The park is just down the road; so not a long drive at all. We park the car and head into the dark mini-forest. My heels clicking in the crisp air. We talk about random things. He is young and not very experienced in life. I already have two marriages and three children. The most unusual of a pairing.  His English is broken but sweet. We discuss life and things about our different cultures. I am an American and he is Pakistani.  The fog from our faces does not bother us at all. Yes, there are others walking around the park, but we don’t mind. They look like couples too, and we just look the other way and continue ou

ASK ME ANYTHING -- Q & A

The ASK ME ANYTHING event turned out to be an amazing experience. I received very engaging questions, which gave me the opportunity for more inner reflection. Here are the questions and answers from the Feb 4, 2018, live AMA event.  (Note that the questions are in the order received.)  Q. Are you part of any organization or advocate groups that help and assist people who have same experience as you? Yes. Since my return to the States, I have joined several groups as a regular member and speaker. My goals is to spread my story in hopes that someone who might be in my same position will not repeat what I did, but find the courage to speak up and tell someone. I have joined the following:  National Coalition Against Domestic Violence ( http://www.ncadv.org/ ) Arizona Coalition to End Sexual and Domestic Violence ( http://www.acesdv.org/ ) (I am also a member of the survivor advisory committee called: S.H.A.R.E. http://www.azcadv.org/azca
