I don't know about anyone else, but I love music!! Music is what inspires me in so many ways! I can't write without music on in the background! Whether it is a friend's CD of soothing harp music or the joys of the Celtic Women station on Pandora!
Listening to music helps calm me down, it opens my imagination and even though working on my book is pretty much not happening, it makes me think about it, where I want to go with it and so when my brain is not quite so scrambled from chemo I'll hopefully take off and get it finished!!! You will all like it...guarenteed! I just have to get it out of my head and written:) And music helps with that.
It's like there is a power in music that can take you out of the saddest moment and put a smile on your face. It can take you back to a moment in time in a second and hold you there for the duration of the piece. I think I need to listen to music more often. Let it take me out of the world of needles, chemo, fatigue and upset stomachs and put me in that beautiful world of the imagination!
After 15 years of trying to finish my undergrad, I spent the week before finals in and out of the ER. During finals I was diagnosed with Endometrial Cancer. I graduated Magna Cum Laude the next weekend from Western Michigan University. I am now blogging about my experiences of fighting cancer & living life after in hopes of being able to help others.
