Their journey together from refugee camp to Silicon Valley. Wednesday, April 14, 2010. The children have settled into their schools, and the family has figured out where to do their shopping, banking, etc. I continue to be amazed by the people God has put in their lives. Currently, 14 individuals provide weekly assistance to the family, mostly to help them learn English and help the children with schoolwork.

Finally after talking about it for years, Magid and I are going to make our union official. I believe that after living together for over 10 years we began to feel like a married couple and inevitably the idea of our actual wedding started to fade into the background. We are inviting the special people in our lives to join us in Italy in a celebration of our marriage.

In a world of growing commercialism and electronic media, our need to find inspiration and beauty in our lives is also growing. I believe that music making is one of the most successful ways we can do this. Our sense of hearing is the first to develop and the last to leave us, and it is our feelings that should guide us when we manipulate sounds to create music. As well as our emotional wellbeing, music can also be of great benefit to our health. My aim as a musician is to promote these qualities in both.
