Giving the Gift of Music in Our Troubled Times

Write, sing, speak up! What ever you have to offer, if it's helpful to anyone at all, now is the time to share it. We are living in troubled times. The city I live in, my home-state, our country, this world of ours...is in trouble. I don't know if you've noticed, but things are bad all around. The economy and the lives of people are in trouble. There's trouble on your street, whether or not you want to accept that fact...and it does affect you...whether or not you choose to care.

The only thing I can do about these troubled times, (because, let's face it, some things we really don't have any control over), is share my talent in the hopes of helping someone. And I encourage you to do the same. Your personal experiences alone, may help someone, if you tell the truth about what you've been through, and how you survived.

Music is an awesome tool to convey your experiences and unite spirits in common-concern. Giving the gift of music can ease a troubled mind.

Often a person may feel all alone, or feel like they are going through something that no one else can relate to. But therein lies the magic of sharing. Once you express yourself, someone else is often joined with you in a common experience, and you give one another strength.

Let's face it, world, unless we find a way to unite, to pull together, to share, to link-up, hook-up, join-in, feel one another's pain, share one another's sorrow, help one another shoulder a burden, we will perish in these troubled times. But in unity, in giving love, simply sharing your talent, we can and we will survive, prosper and even flourish. It's quite possible!

So, even if you can't sing or play an instrument, you can play the radio, you can hum, you can put on a CD...Give the Gift of Music to someone or to yourself, in good times and in bad times. Then, watch things change.
