I just finished listening to one of my all time favorite books on tape (for probably the 50th time) "Music and the Mind" by Michael Ballam. I love this book, it inspires and reminds me of the invaluable importance of the arts. Ballam has incredible information and research compiled into this treasure of a book that will compel you to go out and buy your very own copy of Handel's Water Music! There are stories that truly testify of the power and influence of music, the accounts he shares will speak to your heart and remind you of this incredible tool we have to bless the lives of others, wake up the mind and uplift our souls through good music.
My grandpa always told me that music has to have "the three m's" in order to pass the test of time, it has to have melody, it has to have a message, and it has to have majesty. Ballam's entire book has all three. It is written like a song, it is filled with music and it will change your life. Music is a divine language, a way to convey love in such a powerful and personal way, it is nothing short of magic.
Turn on some Mozart, Brahms or Handel today, sit down with your little one and paint, draw, dance, sing, wake up your mind, wake up your heart, wake up your creativity. All of the answers are there, waiting to be unlocked, music and art will set them free.
What do you do to unlock your creativity?
