Welcome to Music Monday, a day where we discuss a life lesson or life event that I have gone through while connecting it to a song. Well, today you get all song and no life lesson. Unless, you would consider falling in love with Jason Mraz’s music a life lesson. Jason Mraz and…
October 10, 2015 is Mental Health Awareness Day and on this very important day, I thought I’d share my very important story.
