Horray! My Health is…

My health is finally returning back and I am almost 100% better. In fact, I might feel well enough to play Christmas and classical music at home today. What kind of music do you like to play or sing? Please drop me a comment or ask me a questions and let me know! Have a nice day:)

First Church I Started…

This is a link to the Church of the Epiphany Catholic Church. It was the first church that I had ever played violin at and I started playing there my freshman year of high school in the Intergenerational Choir in 1990. The director of the choir was Pam Bosselait. I met many wonderful musicians and singers. We had woodwinds, brass, and percussion instruments as well as piano, organ and electric bass. http://www.epiphanychurch.org/

Question of the day…

My question of the day is who inspires you? Is it a parent, guardian, a coach, a teacher, or a sibling? I read today on social media that a friend of mine lost her godfather and I am she is devastated. I would be if I lost my godfather, my godparents support me strongly just like my parents do. They treat my brother and I as if we were their very own children and they have no kids of their own. They celebrated joyful occasions with me from holidays to when I was confirmed and they were around during sorrowful times such as for funerals.
Yes, my godparents supported me, stood by me, inspired me. Again, I ask, who inspires you.
