“Never say anything about yourself you do not want to come true.” ~ Brian Tracy
The mUsiKcare piano students were invited to the home of fellow student, Hong Shao. Not only did she and her husband warmly welcome us into their home, but she treated us to a totally fascinating mini-concert. She’s an accomplished player of the Pipa, the lute-like instrument seen here, and the zither which sounds like a harp. She told us how she came to learn the traditional Chinese instruments, and how she’s helping young people in Kentucky learn to play them, too. Our day’s blessings didn’t end there. One of our classmates suffers stage 4 ovarian cancer. No matter how bad she feels, she comes to every single class. And despite a less than adequate keyboard at home, she practices. That’s dedication. We all chipped in to help Dr. McVay and others buy her a brand new piano, then told her about it today, ahead of tomorrow’s delivery. It was a remarkable day of real communion and kindness in action.
