Today’s Christmas song is this spectacular performance of Ode to Joy to the World by The Piano Guys with choir and bell ringers. With thoughts of my two oldest daughters, Leslie and Paula, who played handbells and were also in choirs.
Ode to Joy to the World (with Choir & Bell Ringers)
I am a multi-genre author of literary fiction, fantasy, and paranormal, and writer of non-fiction articles on parenting, writing, education, health, and travel. My background encompasses both the sciences and the arts. I teach at a specialized clinic for learning disorders and mentor young authors. In addition to writing and teaching, my passions are weather, Indian food, gardening, and music. I have played eight musical instruments and spent many years immersed in taekwondo and karate. In my youth, I was an avid canoeist. I was born in Prague, Czech Republic, grew up in the Great Lakes region of Ontario, Canada, and moved to Alberta in 1988, where I raised four children.
