Did anyone else watch the remarkable Gabby Giffords/Mark Kelly interview with the ageless Diane Sawyer on ABC last night? Talk about determination, teamwork and a true commitment to marriage vows. If you didn’t see the piece, do yourself a favor and take the time. It will inspire you, touch your heart and make you reassess your own life challenges and goals.


I hope that Gabby Giffords continues to make great gains in her recovery from Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). I think she and her terrific spouse, Mark Kelly (and I do mean terrific), would make a great future First Couple.


I was also thrilled to see the role played by music therapy in Gabby Giffords’ recovery recognized. We witness the magic of that remarkable, life-changing profession at RicStar’s Camp each year. I’m a big believer in the power of music therapy to change the lives of those with special needs.

All in all, viewing time well spent.
