What does music do for me? As the universe selects the genres of my past through the radio, road trip DJs, internet playlists; I am reminded through the  artists' emotions, darkest secrets, fears and passions that I have lived and am living a beautiful life. I am a woman of many tunes and music gives an extra beat or two to my heart. It often allows me to laugh at the memories of dating, dancing, good times with friends. It creates a space for me to cry whilst reminiscing over lost love, floating souls and the upbringing of buried emotions.  It fires up my hormones and creates spontaneous rage of frustrations and weaknesses that move me closer to serenity. It reminds me to be present, to flutter with the wind, to dance with the vibration of my heart. Music has a way of bringing me to the reality of life. It offers an invitation of reflection and idealism. The many genres I enjoy are classical, hard rock, gospel, bluegrass, country, soft, hip hop, kirtan, funkadelic, trap, and any other genre with a beat that hasn't yet been defined. Each one brings me to a different awareness, a different chapter of my life.

My favorite genres are classical, country, rock and roll and kirtan. Classical music brings a soothing platform to reflect, to think, to create and study. Country takes me back to my roots in the rolling hills of Western Maryland. Hard Rock and Heavy Metal gets me moving. It validates the dancing demons in my head, thrashing back and forth to screams of the electric guitar. It gives me the drive to shoot, run, conquer and thrive.

The moral of my musical career is that it takes me back to the 1st vibration, that of the heart. It speaks to me, justifies I am not alone in this world, and allows me to learn who these artists really are. It is education, freedom, satisfaction and motivation!
