So Many Incredible Things...!

It's 12:31am, and I am wide awake. I guess I should start to think about going to sleep, since I had an unbelievable, awesomely busy day today, and I get to have another one tomorrow! It's been difficult to close the laptop at night recently. My life has taken an incredible turn for the best in the past 3 months... Since American Idol aired, new opportunities have been presenting themselves, and new ideas keep popping up!


Tomorrow I'm teaching a scat class to a middle school jazz ensemble in Trenton, NJ through the
Jonathan D. Krist Foundation. The foundation has two very different, but societally germane missions: One is to enhance music education in underserved schools, and the second is to bring fresh, clean water to Africa by installing water pumps. I encourage you to read more by clicking on the link I've provided. 


Since graduating my Teacher Training at YogaWorks, I have been brainstorming to think of more and more ways to combine song-writing and yoga to bring tools of self-awareness, proprioception, and awareness of others to adolescents. Since becoming a Big Sister through the Big Brothers Big Sisters Foundation, the ideas have been flowing! This is all becoming a reality. 


Through the progression of the my life and career, I have been learning a lot of valuable lessons and meeting brilliant and inspiring people. All I can say is that I am thrilled and so thankful.
