For me, love is an enhanced state of kindness, compassion, service, respect, and humility, an emotion I feel we are all here to give and to receive.

I begin and end each day with prayer, meditation, and thoughts about what I am grateful for.

Creative people inspire me. Athletes also inspire me to come alive, especially my daughter, a competitive gymnast who works very hard, as much as six hours a day on her gymnastics skills.

The thing that's really rewarding is when people will say to me that they had actually given up the bass, but are going to start again because the online school seems like a good idea.

Music is one of those things that becomes a soundtrack to our lives.

For the obvious reasons, furthering my children's education and keeping my family healthy and thriving is my highest mission.
