Music is art that goes in your ears and straight to your heart. I am a music teacher. I go so far as to say that it’s the biggest part of my identity, and one of which I am extremely proud. I've been teaching at the same public school for 34 years. Is it always easy? No. Do I sometimes get frustrated? Yes. Is it worth it? Absolutely. I love it!

A Writer Writes
Imagine knowing that you will pass away in just one week. You will then assume the body of another person. This pattern happens again and again, but you don’t really know who you are. You don’t know why this is happening to you. This is the basis for a fictional series I have been writing entitled, “7 Days.”

7 Days
Cold. This body is so cold. So many things hit me at once. In addition to the cold, I feel extreme hunger, something smells rancid, and someone is poking my arm. Tentatively, I open my eyes. The person standing over me seems pleased – I’m not sure whether it’s because I’m awake or because he thinks he’s responsible for reviving me. The younger man smells bad, but I think I’m the one who smells rancid.
