What would you do with that?

"Hon, I think I've found a program I want to enroll in," I said to my husband. "Listen to this. A Certified Music Practitioner provides live bedside music to the critically and chronically ill, the elderly and dying."

He looked up from his book. "What would you do with that?"

"I don't know yet." Both my bachelor's and master's degrees were taken with solid career goals in mind. Saying I had no plan in place felt liberating.

Applying to Music for Healing and Transition Program, Inc. felt risky, but a good kind of risky. My usual self-doubt tried to talk me out of it, but I proceeded. There was a flaw in the actual application: scant space to include all my musical experiences.
