An orchestra director, violonist and string teacher, our guest Karen Dillard is also one of you, a Gratitude Seeker.  She shared how much the podcast has impacted her life and I found out what amazing things she's been doing and what a legacy she's living the world so we talked a bit on Instagram and invited her to share her story and her love for music.  Exploring and appreciating deeply something in particular can be a great source of gratitude and happiness, in contrast with always wanting more/new things for a short burst of excitement.
