Abandoning Your Genius
This revelation hit me like a ton of bricks when it happened. I remember it so clearly; it was right after Christmas 2000. My father had given me a CD by Andrea Bocelli, "Romanza." My dad had come to the U.S. to sing opera, so he greeted any interest I showed in opera...
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...

The Day I Left My 9-to-5.
On the day I left my 9 to 5, it was 1996 - the era of the Gray Cubicle. My firing was fortuitous since by then my job had become intolerable. I experienced a bunch of different promotions in the sixteen years I worked at this insurance company. File clerk,...
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...
