This morning, I stopped long enough to do something that I know I need to do more. I lit candles and incense, here at my writing desk, and wrote in my journal. It dawns on me much of what I wrote was probably worth saying publicly. So here goes… Fridays are supposed to be sacred […]
Read MoreFirst, for the zillions of amazing and generous birthday greetings via Facebook…Thank You. Every year, I forget just how amazing this is, this Facebook-Birthday-Greeting-thing. Very likely, while I write/post this blog, I will receive the five HUNDREDTH Facebook greeting. No joke. It’s shockingly wonderful. It’s always beautiful to hear from the incredibly diversity of my […]

Read MoreIt’s become a tradition for me to reset the “number of plays” on the iPod/iTunes each Jan 1st and, come December 31st, to see where my ear has led me in the year that has passed. Clearly, it was another awesome year in music. In years past, I have spent a lot of time on […]
