I'm guessing we've all dealt with breaking up. Perhaps you're in the midst of a breakup right now? And if you haven't yet broken up with anything then get prepared for the eventual guaranteed experience ;) I'm not just talking about the kind of breakup most of us are familiar with. You know, the significant other kind of break up. But rather I'm including ALL the breakups that can, and most likely will find their way into your life experience at one time or another. Those breakups can include: Breaking up with an employer, a particular career path, lover, family member, friend, idea or ideal,...

It's a new year!!! Yup we've officially entered into the year 2025!! 2025?!?! Am I the only one who feels like I'm somehow living in "the future" even though the supposed future is now? LOL That being said, here we are at the forefront of another new beginning ;) In this episode, my first of the new year, I share my thoughts on, yup you got it, NEW BEGINNINGS, and how every second of the day can actually be a new beginning if you choose! I'm personally finding real joy and relief in the concept of new beginnings happening all the time. And although I don't believe there can be a beginning...

On October 16th, 2024 I traveled from East Coast to West Coast to attend the musical celebration of life for Robbie Robertson, lead singer of The Band. It was being held on October 17th at The Forum in L.A., a venue I had never been to, and the artists performing were of a caliber I couldn't possibly miss out on seeing and hearing! Eric Clapton, Bob Weir & Van Morrison to name a few ;) As many of you know I LOVE live music and so this event was a MUST for this music mama!! It was an experience that also included visiting an area on the planet that I had never been to, exposing...

Calling all concert goers! This summer I headed West, back to my previous Eagle County, CO homebase, to spend 3 months working as much as possible, so as to pay off all my bills from the previous 3 months ;)  I did work almost 6 days a week for those 3 months, AND paid off all my prior months bills, but I also ended up playing almost as much as I worked ;)  I am definitely a LIVE MUSIC LOVER and this Summer "Tour" 2024 certainly filled my soul with some SUPER SWEET SOUNDS!  I actually began my adventure in Vegas taking in 2 nights of Dead and Company at The Sphere!!

I entertained the idea...

Life Love Music & Space Travel

A good portion of my time on planet Earth has been spent daydreaming, projecting or dwelling, longing for things to be different, filled with a desire to be doing anything OTHER than what I was doing at the time. How about you? And although I've been on a more awakeneded plane these past many years, it wasn't until a few weeks ago that I was presented with the verbal concept of, "I'd rather be doing what I'm doing."Since then I have been very focused on that exact concept!! What's been extra cool is that I'm realizing that for quite some time that that HAS been my mindset! I just hadn't put it...

On January 30th I officially kicked off my 2024 musical adventure around the sun with a performance by the Benny Hill Jazz Quartet! It was a spectacular benefit event raising money for the Cape Fear Community College's music department and it was a few hours WELL spent!! Then on February 2nd I chose to once again celebrate what used to be my marriage anniversary by attending a concert, in order to make some new memories ;) This year I had the distinct pleasure of taking in a performance by Elvis Costello & The Imposters, with Charlie Sexton guesting in as well, and boy oh boy was my soul...
