 Ah, the luck of the Irish... I went and found my old bagpipe band I use to play with.  They rock!

what i like today...

• that etsy blue stamped crepe paper

• plotting march madness for my Power Year!  it feels so good to accomplish goals!!!

• a touching conversation with my bandmate, aaawww!

• thinking of a master plan... (1:08)

•  my first singing lesson vocal exercises, now just to practice them!

• this TED video, so inspiring!  "We didn't push the limit, we just showed it was further than anyone thought!" What bridge can you create?
