Somewhere deep down, I've always known my life was destined. Ever since I can remember, my guiding theme has always been, "everything happens for a reason." Now, I'm beginning to see how everything is coming together...here's a brief synopsis of why I love my life:
* I was adopted as an infant - both of my parents were music teachers
* began playing piano in kindergarten and my father suggested starting harp when I was in 4th grade
* participated in various scholarship pageants which helped me develop my speaking confidence
* took dance lessons for 10 years (ballet, tap, jazz & pointe)
* went to Indiana University where I studied harp with Susanne McDonald and Linda Wood and graduated with a BA in Telecommunications
* met my husband working on a documentary for International Variety Club and continued as a music editor for various video projects
* recorded a 'home-made' cassette tape for a friend going through hospice care
* developed a two-part questionnaire with a music therapist to measure the perceived effect of my harp music on listeners
* had two amazing sons who continue to be my best teachers
* my father was diagnosed with prostate cancer - recorded New Love "awaken to yourself" to help him relax (he's now cancer free!)
* met William Collins, Ph.D. who offered to do a pilot study measuring the effects of New Love on listener's brain wave frequencies
* pilot study results inspired the formation of the Scientific Arts Foundation
* began speaking about how music, sound and vibrations impact us
* began writing music and recording more CDs
* radio show opportunity manifested and continues to evolve
* the Scientific Arts Foundation completed a pilot study exploring the impact of my newest CD, "The Magic Mirror-Inspired Reflections" on 4 women undergoing treatment for cancer
* Results from pilot study indicated "The Magic Mirror" had a direct positive impact on EVERY neurological processing problem in EVERY participant
* the Scientific Arts Foundation is now designing a larger clinical study exploring the impact of "The Magic MIrror" on stress factors in 120 adults undergoing chemotherapy treatment for cancer. For more information, please visit: http://www.scientificartsfoundation.org
So there you have it...a brief synopsis of how my life has divinely come to this point in time. Thanks for visiting and have an awesome day!!
Loving life...all of it,
Amy
