Ed The healing power of music and gardening

Ed is amazing. He has music and such good vibes running though his soul and he exudes so much positivity. I feel grateful that I was able to speak with him today because just like Ed, I have grown up with Dyslexia. Ed shares his story of what it was like to try and go to school and make sense of the world when what we are doing fundamentally just isn’t making sense. Ed worked hard each day in school and still came home with C and C+. When the schools and doctors tried to convince his mom that he should be on Adderall or Ritalin his mom rejected the idea. She knew that drugs was not the answer for Ed. Instead she tapped into his passion and interests and put musical instruments in front of Ed. Ed talks about how no one learns the same way, how important nature and farming can be, the power of music, dyslexia and the work he does to help advance the dyslexic causes and so much more. Music was what helped Ed realize that he wasn’t defective. I really loved speaking with Ed and because he quoted Paul Simon during our talk and how important music and arts can be for the human soul, I will leave us with this PS quote: "Medicine is magical and magical is art”.
