DISQUS

Intelligence Is A Curse: MckLinky! (I can’t come up with a catchy title so this will have to do for now)

    hi from the MckLinky blog hop! :-) I agree with your title, it is the reason I don't surround myself with very many people anymore. Sad really. Great blog!

    Hi there, just stopping by on the MckLinky bandwagon! How cool that you're a self taught pianist...that amazes me so I think I'll live vicariously through you today...mmmk? :) I am not musically inclined AT ALL, but always wanted to be. I'm a starving artist from the gulf coast and returning to college (I'm in my 30's) in August. Have a good weekend!

    Hello,
    This was a very good post. I have been attending college for years now, and one day will finish. I think it is neat that you taught yourself to play the piano. I want my 5 year old daughter to begin taking lessons :)
    Have a Happy 4th :)

    I totally agree that intelligence is a double edged sword. I'm a music lover too and have played the piano for many years. Great blog :)

    Great to meet you! I totally agree with you that intelligence is a double-edged sword. I would be a lot less irritated with people if I was less smart. :) haha!

    Stopping by from the Blog Hop nice to meet you! Checking out all the different blogs. Have a Happy Fourth! Ok I'm glad I found you -- I am a homeschool mom with a son that would love to be able to play the piano -- I have no idea where to start. There is no one in our area that teaches. Any advise?

    A lot of teachers will travel to your house in order to teach. So I'd say start there. The #1 piece of advice I'd give you is to not force any more than necessary to get your children to practice. My parents never forced me to practice so I've always loved music and always looked forward to my next lesson. Also, I think the younger the teacher the better. It really helps with the connection to the teacher..

    I'm sorry you have been cursed by your intelligence, I guess it is better than being cursed by other things. My dd is salivating to go to college, so it is nice meeting a college student through the blog hop. She plans on majoring in classical voice and physics - trying to narrow down colleges with good programs in both has not been easy. What are you majoring in?

    My major is a little different than most. It's a mixture of economkics, math, business, science, and engineering.

    I adore this whole blog hopping meme! It's so nice to meet you and all the wonderful participants. What a journey of encouragement!

    I totally agree with you on intelligence being a double-edged sword. I don't worry about that much now, though. After kids 3 and 4 (twins), I'm on autopilot, stuck in Sesame Street mode. ;o)

    I'm following you, now.

    I'd like to invite everyone here to Blog it Forward. Share your inspirational journeys and award those who inspire you with the 'Inspirational Blog Award.'

    All the blogs I have hopped to so far have touched my heart in so many, many ways. I would like to spread the encouragement to the rest of the blogging realm.
