The Birth of Walk In Beauty
One of the most magical things about writing songs is watching how they are born and change and evolve. Each of the songs on the Walk In Beauty album took a different path to come into being. Most of them took a very “circuitous” route to reach their final destination… the final version being […]

Walk Beautifully
Seems like the perfect aphorism as we start the day in the studio for the Walk In Beauty album. Thank you Yogi Tea!

All You Need Is Here
Breathe in the perfection of this moment… THIS Moment. Not a moment tomorrow or next week or in an hour or even five minutes from now… THIS Moment. Not a moment when there is a perceived need… a need for something to happen or to accomplish something or for something to come to you or […]

The Secret to Controlling the Weather
He stood on the outcropping overlooking the drought-stricken valley below. Crops were withering from the heat and lack of rain.

You Are NOT Alone!
Have you ever felt alone? If you’re like most of us, the answer to that question is a resounding YES! How about when… the teacher called on you in school and you didn’t know the answer? or coming home to an empty house after a breakup? or someone you love has passed on? or a […]
