I'm thoroughly overwhelmed and perplexed at the recent generous outpourings of both prominent and anonymous members of violinist.com that have been directed specifically at myself. It has provoked periods of introspection on my behalf, particularly regarding the self-worthiness in respect to my own status in life. Undeserved, to say the least.
Emily - for those of us at v.com, you provide wonderful and entertaining blogs as well as important advice on life and teaching as a professional violinist. You and your unique story more than earn our admiration and respect. So, the outpouring of help should not surprise you, although I think most of us are surprised a bit when our good deeds and works are rewarded. What goes around, comes around.
Keep up the good work.
