Spring is finally approaching after a very cold winter! We'll know spring has arrived at the Woods when we see buds on the trees.
This has been an exciting week for our music therapy students as they were able to meet Lori Alviso Alvord, M.D., author of "The Scalpel and the Silver Bear", which the students were assigned to read this semester. Alvord was the first female, Navajo surgeon and was a speaker on the College's 4-Star Series last night.
The students had the opportunity to do some book discussions in class this week, followed by lunch with Dr. Alvord yesterday and then the lecture at 7:00 p.m.
Alvord's message of encouraging each of us to embrace the Navajo ideal of "Walking in Beauty" and bringing harmony to all facets of our lives, the lives of others, and the environment, resonated with those of us who have chosen to serve others through music in healthcare.
