    Divas,Welcome back to my weekly Practice Notes! I am so excited to be back and sharing these notes with you every single week… and this time, I’m writing these to you from France! It’s been two weeks since I left my home in Canada to explore a life in Europe, and I have been completely on Cloud 9, even with the fatigue and the stress of moving.

    Every Flute I've Ever Owned! (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    Bestie, I have been on a long walk down memory lane for the last few months— whether it’s reflecting on eight years of consecutive post-secondary education, reflecting on my time in my hometown before I move halfway across the world, or reflecting on the person I’ve been and the person I’ve become. I guess I’m on a nostalgic kick these days!
