It doesn't take much to impact a life...sometimes

https://www.musicandnarrations.com/ [https://www.musicandnarrations.com/] In this episode, I describe a special moment of inspiration with one of my kiddos and do some reminiscing about my own teachers from the past who impacted me as a student. Hopefully, you can find some inspirational nuggets as you listen to take with you when you encounter your students, or other parts of your everyday life!
