Music always has the 'right words' for any occasion. Your song suggestions for a graduate are wonderful, Barbara. Thank you for this "It's-the-thought-that-counts" gift suggestion.
Of course I like the idea of giving music for any occasion, but these songs really would be awesome and thoughtful graduation gifts. Even if you a sending a tangible gift, including the song would still be a great idea.
What a lovely way to encourage and celebrate a milestone in life. I like this idea because you can put it to use to cover many miles that might separate you from your loved ones. Music is always a wonderful gift and if it has been chosen for you by someone you love, even more so! Great idea Barbara!
I love your inspiration for honoring the true essence of the one who is entering a new phase of his/her life. Music is priceless. And, the thoughtfulness of your gift-giving ideas take celebration to a whole new level. I used to spend hours creating music and reflection sound tracks for special friends/special occasions. I wish I still did that. Maybe I will now that you have inspired me once again. Thank you for that!
I just recently pulled out a cd that someone had made for me. It was scratched and no longer played without skipping, but I clearly remembered how much I loved that cd when I received it. I really like your idea of song dedication/gift.
