No matter what is going on in my life, I am always healed and nurtured with music~ over the last week or so since I last wrote, a Music Together® friend of mine (3 yrs old) was diagnosed with Leukemia. The first thing I thought of was "I need to send some new music!" When I'm sad, I sing... When I'm happy, I sing... When I'm working, I sing... The worst thing in the world for me is to lose my voice to the occasional case of laryngitis! I would love to hear how music heals and nurtures you ~ are there particular songs? Do you listen or sing along? Do you dance too?
The other morning I headed off for my Saturday class and was looking forward to seeing "my" families, but was also wishing I didn't have to rush off on a beautiful Saturday am. Shortly after arriving, I was so glad I did! The love and sharing of music and friendship is so amazing ~ many of the children in this class haven't seen me or their other friends since last Spring, but you wouldn't know it! They jumped right into class, singing and dancing and sharing hugs with all at the end. Music gives us a way to connect as a community and when we remember that it is about love and fun and not so much about "learning," the actual "learning" that takes place is amazing!
Tell me your stories, share your musical moments, feel the love!
You may remember that one the songs on my last CD is there because your sister Mary told me that i used to wake you girls up as I showered and got ready for work by singing. The song was "O what a beautiful morning".. I thought I was waking myself up and what a better way than a song.
