Heidi has been journaling and writing for most of her life, but using the piano as her means of self expression with the world, until recently. After her mother's death in 2018, she began writing her memoir. Inspired by learning from other writers' processes, she spent the summer during the Covid shut down cataloging more than forty years of her journals.  In the fall of 2020 Heidi connected with writing coach and founder of Story A Day, Julie Duffy. In Januray she joined Julie's community of amazing and  supportive writers. Through their encouragement, Heidi has been able to recommit herself to putting her story into words. For the first time in over thirty years, she chose to take the summer off from the majority of her piano students to devote herself to this project. It has been a process of self-discovery and acceptance that she never imagined. This is a page where she will share what is flowing out of her hands in  completely new and unexpected ways.
