Dreams--I am a musician, and feel very fortunate to be able to make a living with my gifts (I am a music therapist). I have never really aspired to be a performer. But I do like to work on my craft. Some good opportunities to do this have been placed in my path. I live in Music City, and I love live music, and it is everywhere. A couple of weeks ago I went to a songwriters "in the round" at a church and met some great people. One of the songwriters is also a chef, and runs a wonderful Cajun cafe here. He has one of these songwriter's nights at his place one Sunday night a month. This month's is tomorrow night and I am going. I have several unfinished songs and one or two finished ones. I am not really interested in getting anything published or recorded. But songwriting is a useful tool for music therapy. If I can't find a song that fit's what I want to work on with my client, I can write one. And it is a form of self-expression. It is a craft, and I want to hone my craft. My new songwriter buddy said these writer's nights are the best way to try out your stuff and get tips on improving your songwriting. And I think I will benefit from these cat's association. They are Christians, and I think I need the accountability they can provide. One woman I met has a prayer group that meets on Music Row 1 night a week, and she invited me. I know this is something I need in my life. I have never lived in a large city before, and I am beginning to see the importance of plugging into a group of spiritually healthy people when you go to a new place, especially when you are single. And I have to admit it: it will kind of fun hanging around musicians. I guess it was inevitable that I should meet up with these folks. One of the songwriters said musicians always find each other in this town. You can't help it. I am excited about what they have to teach me about songwriting, and living the life of a believer in the real world. Maybe that is why God sent me here.
