What if hospital bands came with special perks for patients?
“Music has healing power. It has the ability to take people out of themselves for a few hours.”
Getting diagnosed with cancer feels like you were just admitted to a special club you never wanted to join.
But what if that were different?
What if the hospital bands we are given when we are admitted come with special perks like meal discounts, free parking and other local perks?
When you’re going through treatment, you have a lot of time to sit and think while you are getting your infusions. I liked to tell myself during treatment that just because my body may be stuck in this hospital bed or infusion chair, my mind can still grow, and my heart can dream BIG.
One thing I liked to do during this time was to listen to music or podcasts to escape my present reality.
Music has the power to heal and connect us.
Do you remember the days when you used to spend hours waiting for your favorite song to come on the radio, just so you could record it on a tape?
Who else remembers sitting for hours at your computer downloading new music to craft the perfect mixed CD?
Friends and family that know me well, know that I love sharing my mixed CDs and playlists AND I have a sound track to match just about everything.
So, in honor of Valentine’s Day and to say thanks for all your love and support, please feel free to check out and download my shared playlist on Apple Music, “Love to Heal.”
