What is your favorite quote and why?

“Music makes people more beautiful.” This quote is special to me because it was on a plaque of my mom’s in my home growing up and is now in my home. Music is a lifeline for me. It has gotten me through every season of my life. Each season there has been a song or an album that has communicated my feelings better than any words I could have mustered up. Sometimes music and lyrics can pierce and speak to hearts better than anything else in this world. Music can heal, encourage, bring joy or tears. Music makes people more beautiful.
