Music Connects Us AllSome of you may remember my song,
"You Are Not Alone" that I wrote for the breast cancer foundation called In The Pink. www.inthepinkfoundation.org Well, I'm amazed every day at how music can touch us all and keep us connected. I was so honored when I received a message from a local college professor asking if she could use my song as part of her presentation regarding cancer. So thank you to Danielle T. Gagner, Clinical Coordinator, Assistant Professor Graduate Program in Physician Assistant Studies Mercy College, and congratulations on defeating cancer! You are a champion like so many strong survivors out there! I would like to share the moving words that Danielle wrote when she approached me about using the song: "I have to tell you that when I was first diagnosed and went on the In the Pink Foundation website and heard your song I cried. I was so moved by it. You really hit the nail on the head. Thank you for putting into song what so many of us can't express in words. It truly is a beautiful song. Thank you Johanna for writing such a beautiful song." And thank you, Danielle for sharing my music with others. That’s what it’s all about. Cheers to the power of music, -johanna |
