Overwhelmed...in the best way possible

The past few weeks have been so crammed full of goodness and excitement that it is a bit overwhelming at times...overwhelming in the very best way possible.  I just returned from the joint conference of the Southwestern and Midwestern Region of the American Music Therapy Association in beautiful San Antonio.  These conferences always come along just when I need a shot of energy and this one was especially special.  As I returned home on Sunday I was so full of good energy and gratitude -- aptly named the Bubble of Love by Mama C -- and I just had to share it all before the moment passed.  It really is alot to think about: a husband who loves me and shares my dreams, a group of friends who are all rock stars in their own right and who let me tag along on their adventures, stronger friendships than I ever knew I could have, a family who supports me in all of my endeavors, a career that is more than just a job and a group of colleagues who feel more like family than peers...the list goes on for days.  I could try to tell you about it with words, but I am fortunate enough to have friends who document this all with their cameras.  And you know what they say about pictures...the thousand words thing is the truth.



Can you believe that I got to film a Rangers commercial--I'll never forget this night!

The Diamond Dawls....friendships built around a mutual obsession with baseball

Mama C and Marci....always just a text away....

These girls inspire me every single day. 

Making music with Los Sombreros....Bless Your Heart....

Running...by the Alamo....at 6:30 in the morning....how do you top that?



I am surrounded by amazing colleagues

Working with Paula and Mary--they are so smart and make me better



Andrew--always pushing me beyond what I know is possible

So much FIGJAM....these people have taught me so much about myself

Working with Mary for 13 years....a colleague and friend

Old friends....so many stories here....they get better with age

A-Frame Strikes Again...so fun to laugh at ourselves



Mr K....he goes along with my crazy plans...and makes me
laugh like no one else can.

Stay tuned!  There is so much more to come...I can't wait!

(Thanks everyone who shared their pictures with me...Mama C, Mary, Patina, Elsa Maria, and anyone that I might have missed).
