What African Drums Can Teach Us About Motherhood
Category: IMPACT
Drums always make me think of Africa and the ways we celebrate. In fact, we will go out of our way to find a reason to celebrate.  Drumbeats accompany marriages, births, graduations, protests, celebrations . . . pretty much any major milestone. The birth of a child is celebrated with drums that have a particularly special meaning.  After all, when an unborn child is developing, the first sound it hears is mother's rhythmic heartbeat.
