"Great music is a magnetic highway," my friend Margaret Wacyk once said.
The power of music is much more than we realize, because our bodies react to the natural laws of music.
In short, the RIGHT music can heal us.
So, it stands to reason the wrong music can harm us.
Any guesses as to what we have mostly been listening to in this age?
Stay tuned today, because the talented, knowledgable, and delightful Margaret is back with me with all kinds of wisdom to help you cope and heal with whatever you are going through with the gift of music.
God gave us music from the very beginning. It's time we reclaim what is ours!
