Hi, everyone!
I’ll bet all of you are still breathing a huge sigh of relief now that your taxes are all filed and done with for another year! … And to all of you grumbling indistinguishably because you’re still working on it, my condolences.
Either way, let’s let off some steam by cracking open the vault of… Continue reading
Hi, everyone!
Remember those New Year’s Resolutions you made? Or maybe the ones you made last year? Yeah, whatever happened to those?
Maybe you’re still chipping away at yours, in which case, congratulations! Or maybe you’ve fallen away from working towards your goal.
You longtime loyal Jammin’ with Jamie Jammers know this well, but for those of you who are new, here’s a little something about me: I’m pretty big on motivating you all to go for your dreams and do your best. And I work as hard and as often as I can to do the same in my own life.
But I know as well as anyone that it can be very difficult to get and stay motivated and to have confidence in yourself, your abilities, and that your efforts can and will pay off in some way. Sure, you can give yourself pep talks all you want, but you can start to wonder if you’re just being delusional.
But don’t despair! It’s all about taking one step at a time. And it’s much easier to take those steps if you’re feeling good. So, whether you’re trying to trick yourself into taking a chance or just wanting to laugh a little more as you confidently stride onward and upward, join us as we jam to a mix of…
Hi, everyone!
This week’s jam session is for the birds! It’s going to the dogs! It’s the cat’s pajamas! It’s…
Hi, everyone!
It’s about time for many of us to go back to school! Recently, we’ve been jammin’ to songs about different academic subjects to keep ourselves sharp. Now it’s time to put all that knowledge and critical thinking to use with a locker full of…
Hi, everyone!
It’s summertime, but that’s no excuse not to keep our minds sharp! Next on our schedule is English! Or, if you prefer, language arts!
So pull out your dictionaries and thesauruses and prepare your best flowery language for a long list of…
Hi, everyone!
Can you feel it in the air? It’s time for another holiday! April 22 is Earth Day!
So bring your listening device of choice outside as we jam to an ecosystem teeming with…
Hi, everyone!
We’re officially in a new season, so it’s time to celebrate! Whether you’re out tending your garden, flying a kite, or nursing some allergies, tune into Jammin’ with Jamie as we jam to some…
Hi, everyone!
This time of year is a weird time for weather. It’s technically still winter, and yet, people are looking ahead to spring. And if you’re in the Chicagoland area, it’s downright confusing. One day brings torrential rain, the next brings howling wind, and the next brings torrential snow.
The clingy cold weather may be irritating for some, but remember: warm weather is just around the corner! Until then, let’s do what we can to enjoy what’s left of winter with an avalanche of…
Hi, everyone!
At this time of year, many of us travel, whether for day trips or full-blown vacations.
We’ve done this a couple times before, which means we have some “frequent Jammer miles” on this Jammin’ with Jamie theme. This will be the first part of a two-part jam session, so make sure you stay with us next week, too!
No need to pack anything: just bring your singing voice and your senses of humor and adventure as we head out toward the horizon with a trunk full of trailblazing…
Hi, everyone!
It’s about the time of year when a lot of people start giving up on their New Year’s resolutions. Whether they’re voluntarily throwing in the towel, “taking a break,” or just completely forgot that they even made a resolution, by the end of January, many people find themselves disillusioned that the New Year isn’t bringing them all that they’d hoped.
But here’s the big secret: positive change and growth don’t just happen because you changed your calendar. Goals don’t achieve themselves. You have to make them happen.
As I’ve said many times before on Jammin’ with Jamie, one way to get and stay motivated is to get a great song in your head. Whether it’s just to distract you until you’ve started and you’re on a roll, or to keep you going after you’ve made that first step, having a song to make you smile and push harder can be indispensable.
But where can you find such songs? I’m glad you asked! And even if you didn’t, here’s the answer: just jam with us on this week’s Jammin’ with Jamie, where we’ll be presenting a mix of…
