 Editor’s note: Dear Friends, each relationship gives us opportunities to express kindness. Many times those relationships are with people we know, but sometimes they unexpectedly gate crash our routine. This week, we’re featuring three such "street stories", which weave a fabric of spontaneous relationships coupled with an unexpected boon of growing in generosity. |

The Lullaby Project: Homeless Mothers Make Music
Since 2011, the Lullaby Project, a Carnegie Hall program (part of its larger Musical Connections initiative) that takes musics transformative power outside gilded concert halls and into neglected communities throughout New York City and across the nation, has paired more than 300 homeless or incarcerated mothers with professional musicians to create a musical experience for their child. Over three sessions, new and expectant moms write, compose and record a short lullaby for their newborns. For young women who may have experienced their own difficult childhood, the project is a chance to give a name to all the raw emotions that come with motherhood: the regrets from their own lives, the bright wishes for their children and, most importantly, the bottomless affection welling up in these new mothers hearts. { read more }
