As many of you know, I am the very proud and happy owner of a pug puppy named Walter! He just turned 1 year old, so in his baby pug honor, a birthday party was thrown. I have a whole blog post about it containing amazing things like pug puppy photos, a recipe for a puppy birthday cake, my mom's DELICIOUS chili recipe, and lots lots more! Did I mention pictures of a baby pug? You know you wanna see puppies ;). Go check it out! AshleyErinWalker-PugParty
Some of my students over in Mt. Pleasant have recently refreshed my creative vibe! They are still in the early stages of learning to play and read on their own, so they are experiencing all the ups and downs, challenges and rewards of learning a new language. Although learning to read music is challenging and sometimes frustrating, these students have found pieces of music that are inspiring them to work harder and faster than ever before! One of them heard a complicated version of the Swan Lake theme, and is absolutely determined to be able to master it on his own, while another student is fascinated with the original version of Fur Elise! Their newfound dedication to their lessons and their motivation to be able to read complicated pieces on their own has inspired me to no end! It reminds me that, any time you reach a slump in your work, or you lose your motivation, you simply need to find what inspired you in the first place! Stay inspired! Stay creative! Stay determined! You can learn anything you want to, if your head and heart are in the right place. <3 :)
