Today is my son’s birthday and he’s a freshman in college and I don’t remember a single parent who transitioned their kids out of the house (college or otherwise) mentioning how weird that first birthday away from home would feel.

My son’s the oldest. He’s a freshman in college and his birthday is soon. I gotta say—it feels so odd to be planning the presents I’ll be MAILING to him 😳
I knew there’d be a lot of “firsts” this year, but that’s one I wasn’t expecting…

What a pleasure to join Kentucky music therapists Chris Millet & Elliott Buckner at the State Capitol in Frankfurt. We testified during a meeting of the Interim Comm on Licensing, Occupations, and Administrative Regulations in support of creating a #musictherapy license in the state.

Grading an assignment here and one of my favorite errors students make is writing “illicit” when in fact they mean “elicit”:
The emotions tied to the music would not illicit the same response in every person.
I chuckle every time…
