The Magic in Music

Music: just a series of symbols, lines, and swirls. But... when combined with just the right instruments, in just the right style, with just the right timing, we can create endless possibilities of melodious sound. Music must be what feelings sound like. Music provides a power, from an unknown magical source where we draw energy to sustain our very being when everything else around us seems to fall apart. Never underestimate the magic, the power, and the force that music can bring. If you need a burst of energy to get you through the week, try music. As J.K. Rowling stated in Harry Potter and the Sorcer's Stone, "Ah, music. A magic beyond all we do here!"

 

The Power of a Smile

I was recently asked "why are you so happy?" When I stopped to think about it, I wasn't quite sure. Nothing spectacular had just happened, I was just excited to be. It is so easy to forget the power of a smile. Smiling is a universal language and can instantly connect people. Deciding to smile is such an easy decision and can transform your day. Life presents many challenges, but I believe that if we approach them with a smile, a positive attitude, and a little bit of determination, ANYTHING is possible. I challenge you to change the face of the world literally, just smile.
