I am a full time musician and mother of two wonderful kids. My full time musician status is mainly my music teacher job at a Catholic elementary school in the sunny south. I also teach a few piano lessons to supplement the portion of my teaching position that is short of being full time.
I write songs and I spend time with my family doing crazy fun stuff like get togethers and going to Target. Sounds exciting and it is because I have this part of me that still dreams and constantly seeks all of the light I can possibly find in the world. This doesn’t mean I am this constantly smiling lady who looks for the positive in everything. No, it is more of a perspective of how I sometimes see the world and its people day to day. It is like empathizing with various scenes you might encounter on a simple drive to school. Like seeing the homeless man at the stoplight as the child he was years and years ago, just like the ones you teach everyday. It’s like looking at the branches of the trees against the fading blue of the sky and seeing all of the marvelous angles and webs they create. What does all of this rambling have to do with being a mom that does music for her life’s work? Well being a mom that makes music makes me feel like I am connected to something greater that I constantly strive to touch and be apart of in my life… God.
