Ahhh, methinks you understand… 😎
ps-I’m loving your Hawaiian Holiday Shots!

As much as they promote a vibrant art scene here, I find it lacking myself. A “well-rounded arts-scene ” is indeed not always in every community.

Revealing the world of music, art, poetry…revealing the fact that there is a bigger place ‘out there’ to students of all ages is sooooo cool. I’m thankful for your passion in teaching based upon quality ‘from the top’ sources…I remember well my own introduction to Beethoven (very subtly via family recordings at first, then my own discoveries…)
Keep the fires burning, Jennie!
peace

It’s more than the piece of music; it paints a picture of an artist. I smiled when you discovered that an abundance of musicians was not there. Art and music are so fundamental, and when it’s not there… that’s eye opening. I teach preschool in Massachusetts, and when it comes to music (and art and reading) I start from the top. I wish you could be a fly on the wall when I play Beethoven for the first time. The best is introducing the cello.

You’re right, Janis – it is a factor that enriches many facets of life.

Oh, it’s a relief to hear your own frustrations parallel my own…my hubs have been Chicago (early on), then Denver/Boulder, then just the whole arts scene in the West/Southwest…so different from here in the Swamplands 😉
I, too, am beginning after 3.5 years to discover gems…not the least of which began with the Camden Writers Group…
We shall march onwards – don’t you agree LuLu (you who shares my name)?

I’m glad you found a studio that fits. I agree that having a good rapport with those you are working with is so important – in any industry.

Your enthusiasm and energy comes across vibrantly in your writing. It sounds exciting and exhilarating to have a project to spring you into a new season. I’m a terrible punner, that’s my best effort! Living in a rather rural/isolated/removed place after living in and around Boston, NYC, and DC my whole life, I definitely went through the education of learning what it is like to be without the resources that those places offer. Now that I’ve been in the place that I less-than-affectionately call Vanillasville on my blog for five years, I am discovering some hidden gems. It just takes a lot more hunting and scouring. I’m glad you found what sounds like one of those gems in Ken and his studio.
Wishing you the best with the project as you move onward! Can’t wait to hear more!

Love your vibes, girl!
Of course our puns are intended…the thing is, so many don’t get ’em 🙁 But then that makes for a great excuse to qualify a pun by saying it’s ‘intended’…just in case they don’t get it. HA! Also to stave off groans in the crowd. 😎
FYI: the Lord has been teaching me about resting in the blessings that are given…maybe that’s a different angle on the broad virtue of gratitude…hmmm.
