Daily Prompt: Transformation

Transformation means change, to be made into something new. When you evolve and grow than transformation is inevitable. Being transformed means allowing yourself to become something better or different from what was before. The butterfly goes from a larvae into something beautiful. It is important to know that transitioning from one thing to another is a painful process sometimes but it can be worth it in the end. Change means leaving things behind in hopes for better things ahead.

Music Monday – “My Shot” – From #Hamilton The Musical

Music Monday has returned after a small absence. This is a great one to return on.

Lin-Manuel Miranda and team have created a great musical about American History featuring Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr. Hamilton is great art in full display. I would love to see this musical but tickets are hard to come by and they are expensive which speaks to the demand for this Broadway show.
