healing your heart 85
Day 6: Responsibility Game Jump - Start
Act as if you are responsible for everything that happens in your

(and woman) great! ” Inspire all of your senses to support you in your
conscious pursuit of your goals and the life that you want. And keep
getting up for the next inning of play!

certainly did this for me, and this conversation set me off on a
journey to learn more about it.
I began to incorporate music into our program ’ s offering of heal-
