What is your β€œCode of Character” song?

Is there a song you can sing or hum when doing the β€œright thing” feels like a challenge?

Mine is β€œIt’s Alright to Breathe” an ATP song I will share at the next event. Another great song is Drive by Incubus

Character Building Through Music🎡🎹

AROUND THE PIANO/Character Building Through Music

I have a special place in my teacher’s heart for teens and pre-teens struggling to define their character and articulate right and wrong. However, I feel the new logo is more inclusive. You will still see the old banner and logo when I am out and about🎹

What about remorse?

What is the difference between guilt and remorse? How does your conscience play into your personal code of character?

Yes, I’m still looking for your thoughts on β€œjoyβ€πŸ˜ƒπŸ–€πŸ’œπŸ–€

More Joy “I WISH THAT I COULD FLY”

What is your definition of joy? If you consider yourself to be a joyful person, please share some thoughts on how you came to this “joy-filled” state of mind and how it manifests itself in real life. I will use any shared comments in my next ATP session to stimulate the creative/lyric writing portion. Thank you for your help.🎡
