Welcome!

Welcome to my new Blog! It is called "Musical Tales at Hospice" because that is what I do - create a musical "tale" at our local Hospice center, called Solace, by improvising a song on my flute. I visit each patient, "tune" into their spirit and energy, and then let that spirit express itself through my flute. It is THEIR song, coming from THEIR spirit, unique to each patient. I never know what the tune will be...I just allow it to flow.

I have been offering this service for almost 2 years inspired by the passing of a neighbor who enjoyed hospice musicians at the end of his life. Through this service, I have enjoyed bringing comfort, joy, and peace to those precious souls who are close to making their transitions. The purpose of this blog is to share some of these heart warming experiences, so that families and patients can know that this "end of life" can be beautiful and peaceful, and not something to be feared.

After a long absence due to vacation, I'm back playing my musical "tales". Today was especially poignant, as a Solace patient's family asked me to play at his funeral. It was a sweet funeral where I learned about this man's life and how much he meant to people. As I tuned into his soul, I was happy that he "sent" me a wonderful tune to play for his family and friends that was so melodic and beautiful, just like him. It was a pleasure to do this and I felt his presence.
