"I want to play the sounds of peace-
Of sighing winds and rustling leaves,
Sounds that silence troubled thoughts
And calm the spirits raging storms."

~ Frank Ticheli's poem ' Prayer '

Life has been quite complicated for me and, at the current moment in time, I have little issue with actually avoiding updating my dA page. I apologize to everyone that has been trying to keep tabs on me - my work as a music education major here at university keeps me quite busy so I usually have very little free time.

Life has been quite complicated for me and, at the current moment in time, I have little issue with actually avoiding updating my dA page. I apologize to everyone that has been trying to keep tabs on me - my work as a music education major here at university keeps me quite busy so I usually have very little free time. Things that are needed to know are the following;

- The boyfriend is gone. The story is sad and I don't feel like remembering the pain of it all.
- I made Honor Band of America as the principal piccolo player. It was fun.
- Almost made it as a national finalist for BPA.
- Graduated high school, thank God.
- Made prom court as one of the princesses and lost by only a few votes for Queen. Oh well!
- After a year and almost a half, I have a new boyfriend that I care for and love quite dearly... And makes me smile every time I see him.
- I am a Music Education major out at Texas A&M - Commerce. I got into both universities I had been looking at, but fell in love with the small school setting out here in east Texas. I wouldn't go anywhere else for the world.
- I got the first of my tattoos. A pair of wolf paw prints on my upper chest. They look amazing and, yes, I love them as well.
- I am currently trying to get the trio of my spirit guides tattoo set up so that I can get it all done. I am quite proud of the idea.

There has been ups and downs, many downs considering my major, but I know and understand that time will be the deciding factor for almost everything in my life. There are no accidents. Ever. All things happen for reasons; it is simply upon ourselves to learn what lessons we can from them at the time. I know that my life will help many others to find and sort out many things in their time here, I can only hope that, before I am done here, that I will be able to help others. It is what I am here for and what I enjoy doing. Music is my path. It is my life. And I am finally happy. After all those long years in darkness, after all the pain I had gone through, all the hospital visits I had lived past, I can honestly and truly say that I am happy.

.:Family Matters:.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My family is growing, yet again. My sister is pregnant for the second time... I can only hope and pray that she can keep the baby this time. She took the loss of the first one quite harshly and I only recently learned about it. While I am happy for her, I can not help but worry for her and the living situation that the baby will be brought into. ... And the fact that our lives, some how, have been switched. But that is how life works and I ask not why my path and her own has changed for there are no accidents; things were meant to happen the way they do for reasons that I can only hope to understand at some point. So congrats to my sister for the baby - I can not wait to meet him.
