As the world around us appears to be falling to pieces, we wonder what’s happened and what we can do to bring peace to our broken planet. This was forefront in my mind today, as I searched my past blog posts for a bit of motivation. Fate drew me to this past post, based on…

Uniting the World through Music…Playing for Change
My country, along with the rest of the world, feels more divided than ever. As humans, we are growing spiritually, but we appear to be experiencing some growing pains.

Morning Affirmation~ “Letting go of worry is becoming easy.”
This is a difficult one for me, as I am a worrier by nature. The men in my life, my better half and my sons, are just the opposite. They rarely worry, often saying “I can’t change it, or do anything about it, so why worry. What’s done is done.” They are right of course.…

Morning Affirmation~ “I am open to new solutions.”
One of the things I drilled into my sons’ heads as they grew up is the importance of having an open mind. You never know what you might learn from others, especially from those with whom we disagree. I always told them to sit, listen, have conversations, and ask questions. That’s the only way to…
