Music–It’ll Make You Feel Good! by Beth Panageotou of Bonbon Break

“Music is the great uniter. An incredible force. Something that people who differ on everything and anything else can have in common.” ― Sarah Dessen, Just Listen

Music.  It represents every part of speech, every emotion, every occasion.

Music moves us, calms us, empowers us, unites us.

Music exposes us to different cultures, personalities and genres.

Music invigorates the body, mind and soul.

Here is the first Bonbon Break playlist of 2014.  It is designed to get you going, make you feel good, want to sing out loud, dance around the kitchen, drum the steering wheel and bring a smile to your face.
