Suddenly... I have "writers block". Am I a writer? Not really. I am a Mother first of all. A Musician secondly (as that is what I studied in college) and finally, here I am enjoying writing... what my test scores back in the day would have urged me to follow. 99 percentile in the nation? Ahhh... that must be a mistake... I just want to sing.

I do sing a bit... for children... they are the heart and soul of music. No boundaries, no inhibitions. They will do, in the moment, whatever they feel. This, I desire. I have learned so much from them even though I am 29+3 now. Mostly, I've learned that I am superb at teaching music... and more so at writing music that teaches music in many ways.

I'm so glad for my kids.... and that also means my little brother and sister. I loved playing school with you guys, and because you were so smart, I enjoyed all of it. You made me the teacher I am today!

Really... they morphed me into what I've always wanted to be. A teacher. A Mom, and little did I know, an easy going writer/composer. I guess I've always known I've had a knack for composing music since high school. I guess I didn't really think my talents in high school were good enough for the real world! Turns out they were. Happy/Lucky me!

What can I say to you today that will give you desire to return to this page? Haha... nothing! I'm just an ordinary mom who just bragged up a storm about what few things she has. I have a lonely heart these days, as I miss my family. My father is going through cancer treatments currently. My sister just came home from Iraq, and my brother is about to move to Virginia, finally Dr. Micky. He knows everything.



Lastly, I want to share something my son told me today: "Mama, when you are nice to me, I'm really happy."

Now who on this Greene earth would ever say that, as an adult? But aren't there so many times in your life when it comes into play?

"When you're nice to me... I'm really happy."

Wow kid... you're awesome. Let's all be more frank.
