About Me:
Currently I live in the United States with my four children, but frequently travel back to Europe, and visit my family in Germany.
My daughter Christina was born with Down-Syndrome. When I was first told by the doctors about this, my world fell off its axis, and I cried for many months. But God makes no mistakes, and Christina is my sweet little Angel, who taught me the most important lesson in life: Unconditional Love. Without her I would have never seen her beautiful world, and I would have never learned all those important lessons about Faith, Hope and Love.
These little children are sprinkled throughout our midst to remind us what life is really all about and how we should treat others.
Also, I am the CEO of Music Transforms You,LLC, a company that produces CD's, DVD' s, Seminars, and Education Material, and is devoted to empowering women around the world who have a child with Down -syndrome. I provide tools, and encouragement with the integration of music to get through the day to day struggles and challenges that we all experience on the "road of life" with our special child.
"Where words fail, music speaks." By interweaving beautiful music we can connect our different worlds in the most wonderful and unspeakable way. That's the magic and mystery of music, because it comes from the heart and speaks to the heart.
Music plays such a vital role in the world around us, and I feel deep gratitude to be part of this process and to be able to appreciate classical music ,and to witness the wonders it does in people's lives, especially in troubled times. Often we feel betrayed by life itself, and fear overwhelms us, but our music will never betray us nor let us down, it will always give back and enrich us. The need for music is "hardwired" into our fabric; even infants and plants respond to it and understand it.
Music sharpens our brains, heightens our sense of awareness, and helps us develop an appreciation for beauty and value. Children that are involved in music have better skills: they are smarter and more disciplined, patient, respectful, and dedicated. Classical Music enables them to succeed in all their endeavors.
We remain for all our lives sensitive to the power of music, it holds the key to solving seemingly insurmountable challenges and obstacles. In times of difficulty, the arts become more vital to human condition. Through the arts we honor our past, understand our present and dream our future.
I encourage all of you to make classical music part of your daily life. You will not regret it, I promise.
