Whenever you meet new people the question that comes right after the introduction is usually “So what do you do?” And when people find out that I work primarily in Hospice I often hear people say “How do you do it? I could never work with people who are going to die.” I have a hard time explaining why I really enjoy working in this area. Funny enough, I was just introduced to a song that took the words out of my mouth. Here’s the video:
I believe that there is a bigger picture for every person and a reason for things that happen. The thing is, I’m not the one who gets to know the reason. But I have talents that can help people and I feel obligated (not to mention I WANT) to share these talents with others.

I also often hear that comment with regard to working with my clients (especially after reading my blog posts, and, I've gotta tell you, those are tamed down for the masses). I figure we do it because it matters, we value people, we value life and we believe music helps us remember how closely we're all connected to each other. What we do for our clients we do for ourselves.
