In the dark or in the light
I hold you as I hold my own heart
As something that belongs to me
Who has been with me since conception
My heart has never been seen
Only felt, as though a pulsing rhythm
Could confirm the vaguest of notions
That the world is round we see
While the sun sets over the water
That skin reacts most volatile
When touched by its equal
That our hands and fingers
Practiced and perfected
Remain just hands
Until the right instrument is placed in them
Transforming into messengers of the divine
My heart beats a rhythm only you can inspire
My words a cadence to a melody of your design
Whether breathing or still
You are my desire and my will.

I moved to Texas from Michigan in August 2010 to teach 6th grade orchestra. Prior to this, I'd never been to Texas, and thought I'd have to quit teaching in order to find something to pay the bills.
I have not done much in the way of communicating with my family and friends about the daily joys I experience teaching beautiful young minds to love music, so I've decided to start this blog, to reflect what I've done, what I've learned from it, and whether my outfit rocked that day.
My passion is teaching. I love the color turquoise, and I play violin. I'm not a virtuoso violinist, but I try to keep my skills passable. I started running in June 2011, and have lost 15 pounds so far! I've done three 5K races and have managed to get my mile time in those races to under 10 minutes (the best was 9:22 in the Bearathon 5K). I want to run a 10K and a half marathon this year.
I got married in July 2012. My husband and I are the only ones from our families who live in Texas. I am so grateful to have a good job that I love, but it's hard to be away from home. I dream of winter (real winter, none of this pansy 1/2 inch slush stuff). Someday I'll come home. Till then, you'll just have to read about it :-)
