100% Chopin, 13% Mozart

Last year I decided to embark on a fun new journey. I decided that I would take the time to experience as much of the great works of the great classical artists as possible.

I began this journey with Frederic Chopin purchasing a 17-CD collection that contained all of Chopin’s works and slowly, but diligently, listened to each compact disc in its entirety. I was a fun and most wonderful journey.

As I look back at my journey as an author, I think back to all of the steps I have taken as I have lived this dream aspect of my life.

Each positive step, I might call a “stage of arriving.”
