 “I turned 30 on Sunday, May 20th and my husband and I went back and forth about how we should celebrate. We thought about going away for the weekend, having a big party, or going home to Michigan to visit our families. Although all of these were wonderful ideas, I decided that I wanted to do something different. I had heard about people doing random acts of kindness for the age they were turning, i.e., I turned 30 so I would do 30 random acts. I was intrigued by the idea so I did some research and found a few blogs of people who had done similar things. I must say, I was so inspired that I knew this was something I had to do!This was by far the best birthday I’ve ever had and will make this an annual tradition! The best part is, being kind is so addicting that I just can’t stop! I now see opportunities to spread kindness everywhere!” — gimpytj7

At the root of all power and motion, there is music and rhythm, the play of patterned frequencies against the matrix of time, Before we make music, music makes us.

How Music Can Help The Terminally Ill
“Alternative medicine is increasingly accepted as part of palliative care and some studies show music is one method to ease pain and stress at the end of life. One of these methods includes live harp music, played at the bedside by a certified music practitioner. Carol Joy Loeb, a former opera singer, is a certified music practitioner and registered nurse. When she arrives at a patient’s bedside, she’s prepared to alleviate misery.”I use the music to bring a calmness to them,” Loeb says. “It helps with pain and agitation. And in the case of those who are actively dying, it helps them to go peacefully.”” { read more }
