May 2019 Musings – Regrouping, Investigating, Boosting, Setting & Reviving
I’m excited to participate in A Chronic Voice’s link up for the first time! Link up parties are a fun way for bloggers to connect and write about similar themes, and this one is geared towards those of us in the chronic illness community. I’ve never had a chance to participate in one before, so I’ve been eager to give it a try. Let me know what you think of this style of post in the comments.
The themes for this month are Regrouping, Investigating, Boosting, Setting and Reviving.
It was a nice change to have guidelines “assigned” for writing a blog post. (I think Andy Warhol was onto something about having a “boss on retainer.” Having the framework for a post given to me felt a little more structured—like having a boss vs. winging it on my own.)
So, using A Chronic Voice’s five writing prompts for this month as a jumping off point, here’s what has been going on with me lately.

Listen To The Winning Song From Our Contest! + Behind The Scenes Creating The Song
A little while ago, fellow blogger Melissa Miles and I held a contest for a chance to win a custom song if you subscribed to both our blogs. I am so excited to announce that the song is done and you can listen to it here!
I’ll also share the story that inspired the song and my thoughts on the collaborative process working with a musician as a lyricist for the first time. (Hint: It was awesome!)
Without further ado, here’s the song, This Love For Swing. I wrote the lyrics, and Melissa wrote the music and recorded the instruments and vocals.
