Telynor Description:
About me: I'm a Hospital and Hospice musician (harp and vocal), who has worked as 'Harpist and Midwife of the Soul' at Dominican Hospital in Santa Cruz for 2 years; 'Hospital Musician' at Stanford Hospital for 9 1/2 years; and am now 'Hospital/Hospice Musician' for Rehoboth McKinley Christian Health Care Services in Gallup, NM. Having experienced BOTH sides of the hospital bed (and a near death experience) along the way, I'm grateful to have found the Work of my Heart - and the blog reflects both that Work, as well as the Grateful and Graceful of Life! Enjoy!!
