Well hello there! I wasn't able to blog last Wednesday because I was out "in the field," so to speak, observing my practicum students. I had the opportunity to visit the Debbie Institute, the Veteran's Administration Hospital, and back to United Cerebral Palsy! It was exciting to see the students working in the field and [...]
Sometimes I wish I was an octopus. There are times when I am going into a session carrying my guitar, a keyboard, a gathering drum, AND a bag of instruments....and eight arms would really be helpful!

Happy Thanksgiving Eve! Today I am at work at UCP when most other people seem to have off, but it is A-Okay because I absolutely love my job. I'll be home by 6:45pm tonight after seeing private clients and will be ready to start preparing some side dishes for tomorrow! Today I want to share a super [...]
