After more than a year  in the making, we’re excited to announce that we’re launching a video segment !

Amid these uncertain times, there is a very wobbly sense of normalcy, to say the least. Today, I want to share with you all an inspiring story from one of my dearest mentors, Betty *.

Days blurring together
Morning mingling with evening

I stare into an abyss
Floundering, Wondering
“What should I do now ?”

 As I was flipping through my journal, reminiscing on life’s happenings pre-pandemic, I landed on a page describing a trip I had made with Theresa*, a fellow musician, to celebrate one of her friend’s 82nd birthdays ! As we made our way through our duets and hymns (albeit, imperfectly), I watched as she smiled, savoring every moment of our mini “concert”.

When the present
Feels downcast
It’s ok
To visit the past
Rediscovering
Buried memories
With the dust of hurriedness
Settling
Recentering
Ourselves.

This morning
I saw a hedgehog
Nestled within
Blades of grass

Perspective Shift: Part 2

With the world pulling us in every direction
More than ever
We need deeper connection

As an aspiring musician, I definitely have my days where I wonder if it’s all worth it: the scraggly notes that tangle themselves together as you stumble through a new piece, the long practice hours, the callouses, the nervousness before concerts–what does it all stand for?
