Today was another step forward in my mission. I spent time thinking, creating, and sharing why music therapy matters—especially for veterans who are struggling in silence. I for a very long time was one. I was lost in my mind and afraid. A lot of the day was about purpose: turning personal experience into something that can help someone else feel less alone. Some moments were heavy, but they were meaningful. Even when it felt tiring, it reminded me why I am doing this—because healing is possible, connection matters, and hope is worth fighting for. Music Saves Lives!

🎵 Music & Mental Health — Let’s Talk Music has a way of reaching places words can’t. For some of us, it’s the thing that slows the noise in our head. For others, it’s how we release anger, grief, or memories we don’t know how to explain. Sometimes it’s just the reminder that we’re still here. This community exists because silence can be dangerous—and music can be a lifeline. You don’t need to be a musician. You don’t need to have the “right words.” You just need to show up as you are. 🎧 A song. 🎸 A sound. 🥁 A rhythm. It can be grounding. It can be healing. It can help you get through one more moment. Let’s open it up: Has music ever helped you through a tough time? Is there a song that helps when your mind won’t slow down? Do you listen, play, write, or just sit with the sound? Share what you’re comfortable sharing. Or just read and know—you’re not alone here. Music over silence. Always.
