The Elephant in the Room
Today's blog post was a newsletter written by Christian Howes, my new mentor for the re-structuring of my violin teaching. I'm going to address an important and widely misunderstood subtext of music education. Warning- While I'm not going to take a political...
Ruminations on Fishes and Fleas
I recently discovered this physicist - Nassim Haramein. Of course, he's incredibly intelligent, but also funny AF. He explains concepts without much math (which is lost on me). If he's not a professor, he should be. Now, I respect everyone's beliefs and spiritual path...
I Want You To Know…
Just taking a break from working at the moment. I got to thinking: if I had my time all over again, what would I do differently, to share with my people to inspire you? I would have listened to my heart. The most important thing I know now? That the things you loved...

Success, defined.
I read a great Forbes article the other day about the traits that all successful women share. First, a caveat. The definition of "success" is different for everybody. For the Positive Madness posse, success means getting past your inner barricades. So anyway, the...
Flipping
Don't know about you, but I like pancakes for supper rather than breakfast. With fried eggs and toast. There's something satisfying about taking time to cook really good pancakes - flipping 'em up and hoping they land back in the pan (hahaha…I could tell you stories...
It’s Magic! Sneaking Under Your Mental Radar.
Learning how to stop wading through life and then drowning in heavy emotions is scary at first, am I right?! Change often is, even positive ones! Here's how I helped myself - my first client! - overcome that hurdle. The best place to start is to grab a notebook or...
