If you're here reading my blog, first of all, thank you.
Over the course of its lifespan, this blog will cover a wide swath of topics relating to my everyday life.
To keep it brief, I am a #percussionist and #musicteacher (I co-own a music school with my wife, and I also teach at an elementary school on the #pechanga indian reservation. My wife Julia and I raise three kids together (she's also a doula!) and serve on the board of directors of our local #hemetconcertassociation. I have standing gigs with a #jazz band and an #orchestra, compose, record, and produce #music (I'm working on my first ever solo release), read a ton of #books, and...
...I'm doing all of this as a person freshly diagnosed with #ptsd and #bipolardisorder.
As I do my best to grow, to break cycles, traverse the world of #parenthood while attempting to balance business #management and creative output, I feel this blog will be a great place to explicitly lay out the world as I see it from this unique perspective.
Trigger Warning:
From time to time there will be mention of my horrific, violent upbringing. I may recount times I've hurt others. Mentions of abuse, neglect, sexual trauma, drug abuse, and related topics will pop up. None today though.
I intend for this blog to serve not just as an output for dark/difficult emotions, but mostly for the joyous ones I frequently feel so intensely yet stuff them inside. My core self is highly joyous, and is driven by love. THAT is what I intend to convey, and I do hope you'll participate with me.
My site (in progress atm) will also be a hub for all of my gigs, speaking engagements, events, and music I release. I will also frequently link to my music school, and I have a set of lesson videos in the works I will release for free in the future. So many goodies here - come for one but please stay for as many as you can benefit from.
With love,
Will from Willdebietz
