 I think music in itself is healing. It's an explosive expression of humanity. It's something we are all touched by. No matter what culture we're from, everyone loves music.
-Billy Joel

I am grateful for consciousness...the ability to be fully aware and alive in every moment , in every way.

“Consciousness is our gateway to experience: It enables us to recognize Van Gogh’s starry skies, be enraptured by Beethoven’s Fifth, and stand in awe of a snowcapped mountain. Yet consciousness is subjective, personal, and famously difficult to examine.”
― Daniel Bor

  My father in law has a twinkle in his eye, gold in his heart and delicious mischief on his brain. He laughs from his core, imagines without limits, loves to play, tumble and hug! When he is with our girls, nothing else exists in the world...and they return his love with a beautiful ferocity that always fills my soul with gratitude! I am so thankfull for 'Papou', better known in our house as "Poo Poo"!

  "I am grateful for lazy mornings and big cups of coffee. I’m grateful to have found my soul mate, and to live in a country where I could marry her. I am grateful that I get to capture the beauty of this world, and so incredibly grateful that I get to do it as my career. I’m grateful for warm fall evenings spent laughing with my friends, and that my grandparents still hold hands when they go on walks."
