Step 2: Have a theme song!

You know how everyone seems to connect with certain songs at certain points in their life?  I like to believe that it is a theme song.  Songs and lyrics can speak in ways that are powerful and move us.  They also move other people as well.
As I have been going through this journey, I have had several theme songs.
Theme Song #1  Part of Me - Katy Perry
When I first separated from *Gabe, I felt liberated.  I wanted to shove all of my feelings in his face, and tell him that I am me, and he doesn't have anything to do with that anymore.  This was the song that said that perfectly.


Theme Song #2 Brave - Josh Groban
After I moved home, there were days where I didn't even want to get out of bed.  I was feeling like a failure, and that the world was judging me because I was getting divorced.  My mom played this song for me, and it really helped me!  I listened to it in the shower every day for quite a while.  I still love when it pops up.


Theme Song #3 Done - The Band Perry
As the divorce process was continuing, Gabe started to be difficult and drag things out.  One day, I was in my car, and I heard this song.  I rolled down the windows, cranked it up, and felt every word of it. By the second time I heard it, I could sing every word.  Any time I heard it, I belted it out no matter who was in the car with me.  Some friends would just laugh at me and let me go, and others would join in.


Theme Song #4 Roar - Katy Perry
This is my current theme song. Katy Perry went through a very public divorce, so I guess I feel I can relate to her lyrics in a way that I didn't feel I could before.  This song gives the the courage to attack every day with confidence and a smile, because I am a champion, and you're gonna hear me roar!


Find your theme song!  Everyone needs one!  Feel free to enjoy all of these as well!
