Susan’s Song of the Week (and Playlists!) for the Week of Aug 13-17, 2012

I’ll tell you the truth:  I’m tired.  After sabbatical-ing since May, I’m not used to teaching every day.  I’m writing a cool blog post (about telling the truth) that I’m excited to share, but it’s not ready yet.  So today, I offer you a song of the week and the playlists from my classes.  EnJoy and look for the Truth post in the next couple of days.

Song of the week: Drifting Away (Paradiso Mix) by Faithless

I’ve been working on a new routine called Radical Sabbatical that tells the story of my four-month sabbatical.  I’m excited about it.  This is one of the songs from the routine by Faithless (the band of my hero, mentor and creator of the 1GiantLeap CDs, Jamie Catto!).  During my sabbatical, there were times of confusion and clarity (often happening right on top of each other).  This song captures that feeling:
