Our Roadtrip Soundtrack
"Kiera v. 3,172 Miles: A Road Paved with Words"
Driving 45 hours in silence would surely produce content, if just for noise to fill the void. Stretches of highway upon stretches of highway, however, go by easier with a nice soundtrack to smooth the bumps and lose all else to. Soundtracks are part of how long roadtrips are romanticized, as evidenced by my first ever roadtrip playlist:
The amount of scream-singing, windows-down, nostalgic fever dreams that this playlist produces is nothing short of extraordinary. I will do my fair share of listening to these 338 songs, along with some of my favorite new releases:
As we settle into the groove of early-roadtrip jitters, I also wanted to highlight whose wisdom will be accompanying us along the way. These are some episodes I’ve downloaded, both from recommendations and personal interest:
Mostly smart women telling me how to lead my life. Then - two of the smartest women who I’m lucky enough to call friends - lead me to this masterpiece:
Some of my personal favorites are Discernment, Focus, and Gifts. Returning to that self-referential wisdom all the time, folks! I have everything I could ever need tucked inside. Most of these episodes just help me to gently reach inside and grab it.
So much love and gratitude for those following along on this journey.
You’ll see more of me tomorrow!
Until then,
Kiera
