Giving Back with Music & Volunteering

Every day I say "I am grateful, I am blessed" ~ I have been blessed with a wonderful gift of music. a gift of song ~ I love to sing, I love to write; it feeds my soul.  Gifts are meant to be shared.  Moving into a new phase in my life, the corporate world behind me and days filled with music ahead I was "directed" to a new musical path when I stumbled upon a Craigslist ad from Beacon Hospice   looking for "music therapist" for their patients.  It called my name out loud.  Since answering this ad, attending the hospice volunteer orientation training I have begun my volunteer work for these special people.  I was very nervous at first, but that was quickly resolved through their smiles and voices singing along. I now see my music feeds the souls of my listeners as well; such a blessing. I am not sure who is benefiting more from this new music path, the patients or me.  I so look forward to our time together each week.  I am grateful, I am blessed.
