Rachel's Vital Music

I'm a transgender woman who has loved music for as long as I can remember. My earliest memories are of sitting on the floor and listening to 45's and 78's. Music is the essential part of my life. Over the years I made many attempts to make a list of my favorite music. In 2011 I came up with the idea of http://scotts-vital-music.blogspot.com and creating the list by posting a song every day.

"I Live for the Sun" by The Sunrays

Part of the Misty K. Snow team at the Ogden Pride Festival

I've included a photo of us at the Ogden Pride Festival, we met there after the parade yesterday (see yesterday's post).

I've been promising my therapist all year that I would cut out some time just to take care of ourselves. I decided one way would be to go lay in the sun for a few minutes and just relax. It felt so good with the sun on my skin and a light breeze blowing across me.

I got thinking how much different going to a tanning salon is. Yeah it's faster, but it's such a different experience. I don't think it's relaxing at all. It's mostly out of your control. You have to lay on hard glass (acrylic plastic?), you have to mess with timing, and worry about keeping those funny glasses on. I'm claustrophobic so it feels uncomfortable.
