First Name	Last Name	Song	Artist	Note to Share with Membership
Ebone	Mahone-Todman	Optimistic	Sounds of Blackness	“If things around you crumble, no you dont have to stumble and fall. Keep pushing on and don’t you look back.”- just a great reminder that e can and will push times through times like this. Stay strong and safe!
Melissa	Cline	(Sittin’ On) the Dock of the Bay	Otis Redding	Reminds me to slow down. Every bit of our lives have changed, but finding beauty in what remains true – love for one another, people helping people, and finding the beauty in each day.
Maria Elena	Ornelas	Don’t Come Around Here No More	Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers	How it currently feels with the self-isolation/social distancing vibe right now.
Lee Ann	Backlund	Don’t Stand So Close to Me	The Police	Just in the spirit of our social distancing…
Jessica	Hardy	Don’t Stop Believin	Journey	We have to keep moving!
Maria Elena	Ornelas	Don’t Stop Me Now	Queen	One of my pick-me-up songs. Love the chorus and really gets you motivated.
Melissa	Cline	Don’t Worry Be Happy	Bobby McFerrin	This has been a staple song on a number of rough days the past few weeks. My sons and I enjoy singing this together and although every bit of our normal life is in question, I find great joy in sharing these moments of singing with them.
Diana	McAfee	Don’t You Worry ‘Bout a Thing	Tori Kelly	My daughter has been watching the animated movie “Sing” a lot lately, and I always enjoy this song! Wikipedia says, “It sounds and feels like a burst of summer happiness.” Ha! Who couldn’t use some summer happiness these days?
Jessica	Hardy	Faith	George Michael	I play this for my advisory everyday since we have been meeting remotely.
Ryan	Cassell	Hands Clean	Alanis Morissette	Wash your hands.
Megan	Rolf	Here Comes the Sun	The Beatles	We will get all get through this together
Ashley	Young	I Wanna Dance with Somebody	Whitney Houston	No matter what…. this song manages to uplift me! 🙂
Arlene	Outerbridge	I Will Survive	Gloria Gaynor	I love singing this song out loud at the top of my lungs for some reason. I have sung it in Karoake, with the windows down, vacuuming, or just for the heck of it. The repetitive words of I Will Survive just resonates with me right now.
Ryan	Riggs	Just Like Heaven	The Cure	Best 80’s song. That’s a good debate, though. Others on the list would be Save it for Later by the English Beat, Rio by Duran Duran, 1999 by Prince, 867-5309 by Tommy Tutone, Always Something There to Remind Me by Naked Eyes, and You Dropped a Bomb on Me by The Gap Band. Anyone have others to add?
Caroline	Morris	Little Miss Sunshine	Caleb Hawley	Not much symbolism here – just a great song with a great message. It’s my go to pick me up at the moment!
Diana	McAfee	Look up Child	Lauren Daigle	It’s easy to get overwhelmed with all the new pressures we’re experiencing, but we need to keep our heads up! I started taking virtual Zumba with a HS friend during this quarantine, and she used this song the 1st day, and I can’t get it out of my head! I love the beat, Lauren’s voice, and the message. Keep looking up!
Jessica	Hardy	Nonstop	Drake	Why not? #fliptheswitch
Sean	Kennedy	Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da	The Beatles
Ashley	Armato	Pa Mayte	Carlos Vives	I dare you to not move to this song!
Melissa	Cline	Say Hey (I Love You)	Michael Franti & Spearhead	Try not to dance when listening to this song!
Anita	Hua	Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I’m Yours)	Stevie Wonder	Conference conference conference! 🙂 Everything worked out with Jacksonville and we got to sign off on a “rebook” option. Here we come 2023!
Ryan	Cassell	The Light	Boy Named Banjo	The first line of the song is “Sometimes it’s just hard to find sunshine in the darkness of the night.” This song always lifts my spirits and reminds me there is always a light that will guide one through challenging times. We all have an opportunity to be that light to others.
Amy	Clines	These are Days	10,000 Maniacs	This was the theme song at my freshman orientation at Regis College back in 1994. Aside from being associcated with four the most amazing and transformative years of my life, it always lifts me up by reminding me that we can find joy and meaningful moments no matter what we are experiencing. During this time, when I see some of the amazingly good and positive things happening admist all the fear and anxiety, I know I’ll remember “these days” as a “shaft of light” during these darker times.
Melissa	Cline	Trashin’ The Camp	Phil Collins & *NSYNC	All judgments aside, my children are still young enough to appreciate all things Disney. Fun song to pretend to know how to harmonize to and dance around the house.
Arlene	Outerbridge	Trust In You	Lauren Daigle	This song has brought me through some really tough times. I often have cried in the midst of these words and also felt a wonderful sense of gratefulness as well.
Katherine	Buck	Tubthumping	Cumbawamba	I teach a freshmen class called Success Strategies that focuses on helping new students figure out how to survive and thrive in college. Week one is on resiliency. I have a slide that in big bold letters says, “YOU WILL FAIL.” We are human, and we make mistakes. Things don’t always go our way. Failing is something that will happen, and that is ok. We will not succeed in everything we do, however the lesson is that failure is not what defines you, the first step after failure can though. Show resiliency with your steps after failure and you will always be growing, improving and learning. I play this song at the end of the first class every year. In these past few weeks, I have failed a lot, however I am trying to remember resiliency is key. By the end of all this, I am going to be a pro remote recruiter! We just have to remember that COVID-19 may knock us down, but we will get up again. COVID-19, you’re never gonna keep us down!
Amy	Moffatt	U Can’t Touch This	MC Hammer	No explanation needed. Stay strong SACAC!
Claudia	Jolivert	Vivir mi Vida	Marc Anthony	The title says it all, it is time to live life to the fullest. Voy a reir… voy a bailar; I hope many of you are doing just that while in social distancing: Laughing and dancing.
Sarbeth	Fleming	Toast	Koffee	My daughter and I start almost everyday with this song. Not only is it upbeat but the message of the song is amazing. Each day we should be thankful for life everything else is a plus. “Blessings all on my life and I thank God for the journey, the earnings is just a plus. Gratitude is a must.” TOAST, SACAC!!!
LaSean	Price	Make You Feel	Alina Baraz & Galimatias	When you need to relax and catch a vibe
Jonathan	Ferrell	Count on Me	Whitney Houston & CeCe Winans	I know sometimes it seems as if, it’s never gonna end But you’ll get through it.
Arlene	Outerbridge	Three Little Birds	Bob Marley
Jessica	Sant	Ain’t No Mountain High Enough	Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell	Always here to support one another, no matter the circumstance. Love my SACAC community for always being a source of strength and love.
