While I haven’t done any fact finding on the article’s assertions it’s a recommended read, and my team and I had a blast putting together our own playlist for you! I think we all know music can affect our mood.Īpparently, “songs by Queen, 50 Cent, Kanye West and Coldplay were among those…” most likely to inspire productivity. They rock.According to this article researchers have found evidence that certain songs will maximize productivity and creativity. Check the last pic, my bald 2009 self with “Bumpy the Chemo Pump.” Although, I gotta say the kids in this music video have a whole lot more spirit than I did.

So, since the kids here are doing the bald thing, let’s call this a “Throwback Tuesday” thing. Regular readers know about my personal cancer journey in 2009, which is why this touches my heart so powerfully.

You haven’t seen ‘brave’ until you’ve seen kids kick cancer’s ass. The music video for “Truly Brave” features young cancer patients from The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. If not able to donate (times can be tough, trust me I know), go visit some kids in the hospital and incite some fun. All proceeds will go to grants for pediatric cancer research via the American Cancer Society. TODAY’s Hoda Kotb teamed up with Cyndi Lauper and Sara Bareilles, who mashed up their hits ‘True Colors’ and ‘Brave’ to create a song to raise money for the fight against pediatric cancer.Īt this writing over $285,000 has been raised – keep it going.Ĭheck out Hoda’s fundraising page and if you can, please donate.
