Grand Plans

I can't believe it's May. Furthermore, I can't believe my birthday is a month from today, and I will be 26! Heading into my second quarter-century has gotten me thinking about the future quite a bit. I am extremely satisfied with my life and career at this point in time, but I can't help but feel that there are certain goals I need to accomplish while I'm still in my twenties. You know, like become famous, make my first million, etc. I kid, but the truth is that I can't shake this feeling.

So what am I going to do? Well, for starters, I will not be providing music therapy at Hope during the summer for the first time in three years. Instead, I am going to take that time and invest it in some very focused work - songwriting, building my business, and expanding my music therapy blog, among other things. I'm hoping this will pay off in the long run, though I will miss the extra paychecks. And the kids, of course.

Also, we're getting a dog. (I just typed "god" two times on accident.) A golden retriever named...well, you'll just have to wait and see. We are counting down the days until she is ours. This doesn't exactly have a place on my aforementioned must-do-in-my-twenties list, but it does have a place on my must-do-in-life list.

And that is where my list ends, for now. But I am always brainstorming...and who knows what else will fall out of the sky, the way things tend to do in my life :)
