(written by Jen Kwiatek)I have started compiling a playlist that Jenn can listen to during her chemo treatments. The songs need to be uplifting, positive, "girl power" and fun. NOTHING depressing.
Is there a song that means something to you and Jenn? When you're feeling down is there a song that can lift your spirits? Either comment on this blog with the artist and song, or send me an email at jen.kwiatek@gmail.com.

ReplyDeleteYou all are amazing! I have over 8 hours of music for Jenn. It is the strangest, yet most powerful playlist I have ever made. It is truly a gift and I know she will appreciate it throughout the next 18 weeks and beyond. xo, Kwiatek
ReplyDeleteWaka Waka by Shakira is a great song. I actually have it on my playlist as we do it in zumba and this morning while lifting it came on and I teared up thinking I had to share it with Jenn. I think it has such a great "keep going" message to it!
