This is my annual Mother’s Day posted, originally posted May 14, 2017 and updated each year. This is a special Mother’s Day message – and a question: Where is your mother in you, now? This picture is my mother and me when I was little. My biggest...![How My Dad Sang at His Own Funeral](https://www.hipharp.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Screen-Shot-2020-06-16-at-2.45.37-PM.jpg)
How My Dad Sang at His Own Funeral
I share this photo and rewrite this blogpost every Father’s Day. It’s one of the only pictures I have of me and my Dad, and it’s on the day of his second wedding. Decades later, I would accompany my father as he sang at his own funeral – and...![A Look at my Dating Photos](https://www.hipharp.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/dhc-face-in-hands-dating-profile-square-1080x675.jpg)
A Look at my Dating Photos
Now that I’m dating … or at least visiting a couple dating apps daily, I have a whole new area of discomfort to enjoy in my life. Today I shared my dating photos with a new member of my team, Nyx. In the interest of making myself even more uncomfortable,...![I found my Mentor in a Barn](https://www.hipharp.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/tony-montanaro-dhc-green-trees-behind-208973_1080x675.jpg)

This is an archive post ~ originally published Dec. 23, 2011 When I was 12 and living in North Carolina, I wanted to send my grandparents a Hannukah card. I’d never celebrated the holiday, since only half my family was Jewish and that half – my mother...![Music is Connection](https://hipharp.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/ina-sam-anna-gloria-dhc-family-sing.jpg)
Music is Connection
When I grew up, music was a huge part of my life but I never listened to records or went to concerts. It was all live. It all happened in my home – or my relatives’ homes – most of it spontaneous — and it ran the gamut from us playing ukes and...![Where’s My Cowboy Now?](https://hipharp.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/cowboyboots_1842-fresco.jpg)
