affirmation of my day.
I have realized today that I will be listening to Jason for the rest of my life and will never ever get bored or tired of him. Music and artists come and go for me depending on my mood and the time. Artists die out and run their course. Songs get re-played over & over until you just can't listen anymore. Jason's songs aren't like that. He's not like that. He's always a fresh experience for my ears & eyes every time. I'm going to be humming The Remedy until I'm old & grey. I'm looking forward to that.
A gift of goofy from the graduate.
Yes folks, I am officially done with college. What better way to celebrate it than with a goofy video? :)
ENJOY!
ENJOY!
An Expression of Gratitude
I know it's probably very redundant to say this, but I don't care:
I am grateful for Jason Mraz.
This week has only had fleeting moments of good in it, and my all-Mraz playlist has been my anchoring force of sanity, tethering the little rational piece of me that lives on to a happy place.
Jason, you remind me that no matter how many tears may fall across my face throughout all my struggles, life goes on.
I'm also so grateful that I am a part of a community of such incredible women. Thanks for being your beautiful selves.

Today, it's Valentines Day here.
Things have happened to me that have led to me disbelieving in this Hallmark-declared holiday. Personally, we don't need a "day" to celebrate love when we have an entire lifetime full of days to do that regularly.
Then again I am single, sans partner, and only human...so of course seeing lovey-dovey couples populating the malls in doubles gives me a sense of irritation.
Having said that, I have resolved to avoid crowded places and just spend time with family (we're visiting a cousin in rehab). And yes, I am Youtubing like crazy right now just to kill time. And here I have found a song that encapsulates what I sorta feel about love, despite all the obstacles and heartaches and what-have-you's.
If you’ll be my star, I’ll be your sky. You can hide underneath me and come out at night. When I turn jet black and you show off your light, I live to let you shine.

If there's one thing I can promise, it's that I will never run out of good things to say and always find reasons to laugh, hope, and love.
Finding old unsent letters = AWESOME.
Guess what I found in my drive of random files. A letter addressed to The Man of My Dreams Whom I Have Not Met Yet. ♥ Circa 2003.
Mraz should be the new Dr. Feel-Good.
Coz the way he can change any somber mood to something more fun and upbeat is AMAZING. ♥
Hope you gals have an awesome day today!

Just Wanted To Share
Not sure if anyone's heard this song, but right now it is the most played song ever on my iTunes :)
So, so, beautiful. But what else could you expect?
Much love.

I am Amy. I’m 23 (24 on the 10th of March) I am also is Portland Oregon. I love it here. I have been a Mraz-a-holic for many years… sometime in high school I heard “Remedy” on the radio and was instantly hooked… and have been since. I saw him live for the first time in 08 and again in 09 . Amazing live.
If I had to pick one favorite song it would have to be Sleeping to Dream… my man and I are separated by land and ocean and an 8 hour time difference and this song brings a smile to my face. Because I indeed, sleep to dream. Halfway home is my favorite to sing in the shower, and beautiful mess will be played at my wedding. And countless others that are constantly played and sang along to.
A little non-mraz related random stuff about me.
I love to laugh.... laughter is what gets me through most days. I try to find the funny in situations where some people would find anger. I love love. I love giving love. I love being in love. Anyone who doesn't see that in me is truly missing out.

Hello, my beautiful, wonderful, and lovely ladies!
I woke up with a smile on my face today. I just wanted to share the positive vibes by posting a song that's been on loop on my iTunes since I first heard it.
Dedicated to all my Mraz Women, my soul sisters. ♥
Hello There :)
I know almost nothing about any of the ladies that contribute to this blog, and I'm sure you know even less about me, but I can say right now that I am absolutely thrilled to become a part of a community like this.
My name is Elise, you can call me that, or Lisey, or whatever else suits your fancy. I live in the beautiful and rainy Portland, OR, and I'm 14 (and a half!) years old. I don't know if that would make me the youngest of the people who contribute on here, but I'm guessing it does.
I suppose you could call me a Mraz fan since I was 6 or 7, but I didn't really know it since I was about 12. My mom and I used to hear "The Remedy" play on the radio, and when Jason would sing 'you were born on the 4th of July', my mom would tell me that it was my song, that it was written for me (I was born early morning on the 5th). And when I was about 9, Jason recorded a live version of "Wordplay" at a local radio station, which got put out on a CD, which my mom and I bought. I listened to the song constantly, and once I even sang the whole thing, word for word, at a party held at my house. It wasn't until "I'm Yours" was released as a single that I finally realized who this incredible man was. I've basically been obsessed ever since.
Once again, I'm so excited to become a part of the Mraz Women. I can't wait to hear and share our experiences together :)
Much love,
Elise

Sigh, the good ol' days.
If only I could have moments like these in slow motion, on repeat, for like...a long time. ♥

Since It's Superbowl Sunday...
Here's a random video post of Jason's song, "I Want My House Back" since today is Superbowl Sunday! The first time I heard this, I cracked up. It's a really old podcast...but either way, I find it hilarious! xD As he says, PARENTAL GUIDANCE IS SUGGESTED. Just a heads up.

It never hurts to share a little pick me up:
There are no accidents. Situations emerge in consonance with the cosmic flow. But the choices we make create our destiny and leave our imprint on infinite reality. As you have chosen to touch and be touched by another heart, allow the universe to unfold and chip away at this diamond in the rough, and reveal the lustrous and brilliant gem that is YOU. ♥

Why would you ever waste a day worrying about anything? - or think you should have done this or could have done that? Wake up to the WTF of it all and enjoy the ride. Look up and be in awe of the grand view. Be grateful and remind others of this miraculous now. It’s your home after all.

Congrats to our Mraz Man for the double Grammy win!
We Mraz Women are all mighty proud of you! You finally get the recognition you deserve to have gotten all these years. Imagine, you didn't just win one, but two awards! It's almost like the universe is trying to make up for it. :)
Here's to a lot more years of music awesomeness, J!
