Music Video: "Let It Go" by Idina Menzel

The snow glows white on the mountain tonight
Not a footprint to be seen
A kingdom of isolation,
And it looks like I’m the queen.

The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside
Couldn’t keep it in, heaven knows I tried

Don’t let them in, don’t let them see
Be the good girl you always have to be
Conceal, don’t feel, don’t let them know
Well, now they know

Let it go, let it go
Can’t hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn away and slam the door

I don’t care
What they’re going to say
Let the storm rage on,
The cold never bothered me anyway

It’s funny how some distance
Makes everything seem small
And the fears that once controlled me
Can’t get to me at all

It’s time to see what I can do
To test the limits and break through
No right, no wrong, no rules for me
I’m free

Let it go, let it go
I am one with the wind and sky
Let it go, let it go
You’ll never see me cry

Here I stand
And here I'll stay
Let the storm rage on

My power flurries through the air into the ground
My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around
And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast
I’m never going back,
The past is in the past

Let it go, let it go
And I'll rise like the break of dawn
Let it go, let it go
That perfect girl is gone

Here I stand
In the light of day
Let the storm rage on,
The cold never bothered me anyway

Emma's Little Corner of My Blog- Introduction

I have the most amazing niece on the planet!  She is incredibly smart, beautiful, funny and she has an enormous heart.  I can always count on her to make me smile and am so lucky to have her as my niece.  Recently, we have started discussing World War II.  Taking into consideration that my favorite things to do are learning and talking about World War II AND spending time with my niece, Emma, you can imagine how thrilled I am that she is now asking me about World War II! 

I am proud to announce a new segment to my blog entitled "Emma's Little Corner of My Blog" that will consist of Emma's posts.  She is the first and only contributing writer for my blog!  A warm welcome to all of Emma's followers from CCDS.  I hope you enjoy her posts!  Check out her art contributions from her earlier years that are under the "Art by Emma" link. 

Here is her first post, entitled "Tween Talk".  If you would like to respond to her post, you may do so through the "comment" link.  I do moderate the comments and will need to review the content prior to allowing it to post to my blog.
