Music has always been a central part of my life. And my life has mostly felt messy and confusing and not good enough.
I wanted to use music to help make some meaning of me, of who I am at my core, and I developed a playlist of me. These are songs that I think best describe who I am and if you heard them, I would hope that you would think, “this song really reminds me of Carin.” Many of these songs have been with me for years, even decades, and they all speak to the person I am at my core.
For the six or seven of you that read this blog, take the time to listen to these songs. Let me know if you agree that these songs are me, or if there are some other songs I should consider. What songs would be on the playlist of you?

- “She’s Always a Woman,” Billy Joel
