Happy Friday! Remember that you can time-travel and see past 5’s at Music Therapy Source.
Here is your Friday 5!
What I’m Reading
The Hero With a Thousand Faces by Joseph Campbell
What I’m Listening To
Hasta la Raiz by Natalia Lafourcade
Product I’m Using
Boomwhackers I’ve been using these a lot this week to work on upper extremity strength and endurance with patients. I also found a bunch of cool “play-along” videos on YouTube like this one.
Quote I’m Pondering
“…the essential thing is not the shadow, but the body which casts it.” C.G. Jung
Wines I’m Enjoying
Ok, I’m a big fan of California wines. It kind of happens when you live 40 minutes from Napa Valley. But lately I’ve had a hard time leaving the grocery without at least one bottle of pinot noir from Oregon, specifically Willamette Valley. I’m not going to tell you a specific brand to buy, but I usually aim for the $10-18/bottle range. If you have some faves, let me know. Music pairing: Kind of Blue, Miles Davis
That’s it for this week. Take care.
Matt
