Inherent Dangers of the Job

I’m going to try really hard to keep this from being a post about how seriously bad ass I am.

Really hard.

Oh No You DIDN'T!!

So the 30th was Gay Day. Actually it was Doctor’s day, but since 40% of the physician population is also Gay (at my workplace), I think it qualifies.

Conferences

So I went to a MYTHICAL MUSIC THERAPY CONFERENCE.

It was freaking awesome. It also made me realize that probably one of the biggest factors separating me from my kids is my capacity for self care.  I packed my bags and jetsetted to XXXXXXXXXX because I knew I needed to. I knew I needed to recharge, [...]

One Year Anniversary

So as of today, July 17th, I’ve been an employee at this Pit of Spontaneity for a year. I’ve been a practicing Music Therapist for a year. I’ve been laughing my ass off and pulling my hair out for a year.

To commemorate this milestone, I’d like to review my immersion into pop music and select [...]
