Commentary:
This was a pivotal time in my life when all the things I'd been attempting to do to pay the bills stopped working. The 1980's real estate bubble had crashed and I owed more on my houses than they were worth. My title insurance agency was also dependent on the real estate market so my income dropped drastically. I realized that I was working my brains out and missing the important things...I ended up getting rid of my title insurance business. I lost my house to foreclosure. Declared bankruptcy. Generally had a really wonderful year! 

It forced me to seriously evaluate what I wanted to do and what resources I did have...So I forced myself to call every nursery school in the phonebook to offer my kids music for $75 per hour...Somehow without my really "getting" it I had become a full time professional musician...

So it's in the appreciation of the moments that matter as well as the recognition that it often takes moments to make a change or a powerful decision that can forever change your life...

Hint: this sounds a lot better in headphones than in tiny computer speakers!
