Well, it's actually after midnight but I'm still up so in my book it's still today and I am here to wish Leonard Cohen, the poet who came down from the mountain, a very happy 82nd birthday with my gratitude that he is still with us. The recent passing of David Bowie, two days after his (and my) birthday is very present.
One of my favorite movies is the beautiful documentary and tribute concert to Leonard Cohen, I'm Your Man. Martha Wainwright did an incredibly poignant rendition of his song "The Traitor." I think you would have to be very near death not to feel as if your heart was being wrung out like a sponge with this one.
Moving Forward
Feeling very good about continuing changes and improvements to this website- and psyched about the website in general- the fact that it is so much easier for me to add posts and new events with this new Squarespace web design. I was beginning to avoid the old one because I was having such a hard time posting my events.
Am in Sedona, AZ right now with my sister Miranda, having a great time and very excited about going down to Scottsdale on Sunday night to see The Zombies and The Rascals. We started the day off with Nia today, a movement practice that combines dance, martial arts and mindfulness. I had actually wanted to try it years ago when I first heard about it but never did it. I loved it! The music was fabulous and I have been loving getting back into dancing again lately- for so many years it was kind of a personal practice and therapy for me and a way to really immerse myself in the sounds and rhythms of music. It was the perfect way to start the day.
Yesterday we played pickleball, something else I've never done before that was totally fun. Last night I woke up with cramps in both my calves! Yikes- so I'm using muscles I haven't used for a while but that's okay. It feels good to be alive, doing new things and continuing to love life.
Tomorrow morning we are going for a hike. Everything is so beautiful here so I am really looking forward to it. I've said it before and I'll say it again- life is good!
Inspired by Flames and Frequencies
Funny that I was thinking about glass instruments tonight. A beautiful glass chime made by Josh Poll from Zen Glass in St. Petersburg, FL broke tonight in a very strong wind. I've had it for years. It has actually withstood hurricanes, but for whatever reason, it couldn't stand up to Hermine.
A friend of mine who I haven't heard from in a couple of years sent me this amazing video today. It is totally brilliant- and has definitely given me some great inspiration! Enjoy
Tapping for Happiness
I came across this video first thing this morning when I opened up Facebook. By the end I was so happy that I had tears streaming down my face. What a simple beautiful thing. I feel like if I was ever feeling sad or depressed or worried I could just watch this video and get happy again.
