“He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly, to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” Micah 6:8 The Old Testament, New International Version

Reclaiming the Holidays
Every year as the holidays approach I am saddened by the number of people who seem to have become slaves to their holiday traditions. Over indulging in food and drink, over spending, working to the point of exhaustion and extreme stress are too often simply accepted as the way things are. Most of us don’t even enjoy all the holiday hoopla but we feel pressure to participate. If you are dreading the holidays this year I have good news. It doesn’t have to be this way.
You can choose the way you will celebrate, the activities you will participate in and of course you always have the power to choose your attitude. So get ready to make this the best holiday season ever by staying true to your own beliefs and values.

It Takes a Village: Music Teachers
When someone says they’ve accomplished everything in life with no help they must have a short memory. It takes a village to raise a child and keep adults on track. This is a tribute to some of the people in my village.
Music teachers have played an important part in my life. Mrs. Partridge was my violin teacher in grade school and Junior High. She saw potential in me I didn’t see in myself and showed me the doors music can open.
Mr. Starr, my college violin teacher, modeled the importance of integrity and values as well as a great love of music. The music department became a refuge for me.
Music feeds the soul and gives us an outlet for expressing emotion. It can become a social activity if we join a musical group and playing music is just plain fun.
A great big THANK YOU to all the music teachers teaching notes and technique while building character and spreading the love of music, May the music go on and on and on…

 “There are two big forces at work, external and internal. We have very little control over external forces such as tornadoes, earthquakes, floods, disasters, illness and pain. What really matters is the internal force. How do I respond to those disasters? Over that I have complete control.” |
