Picnic in the Summertime

Hey kids!  I trust by now you are all enjoying the hot summer fun in the sun.  Grab your blankets and baskets and enjoy my very first summer mix ever, from way back in 1997.  It's got the best of my love, and it feels like you just got home!

Eat Pray Love

 I finally finished it.  I am contemplative and happy tonight.  This book came to me at exactly the right moment and truly inspired me to change my life.  Thank you to Elizabeth Gilbert for writing and sharing your journey with me!    




    "I also knew somehow that this respite of peace would be temporary.  I knew that I was not yet finished for good, that my anger, my sadness, and my shame would all creep back eventually, escaping my heart, and occupying my head once more.  I knew that I would have to keep dealing with these thoughts again and again until I slowly and determinedly changed my whole life.  And that this would be difficult and exhausting to do.  But my heart said to my mind in the dark silence of that beach: 'I love you, I will never leave you, I will always take care of you.'  That promise floated up out of my heart and I caught it in my mouth and held it there, tasting it as I left the beach and walked back to the little shack where I was staying.  I found an empty notebook, opened it up to the first page--and only then did I open my mouth and speak those words into the air, letting them free.  I let those words break my silence and then I allowed my pencil to document their colossal statement onto the page:
    'I love you, I will never leave you, I will always take care of you.'"

Summer Camp

Hey kids! By now summer is in full swing, and while I'm away at camp, I want you to enjoy some of the best jams. This was a package deal
I created a couple years back. I think of it as one for the campers, one for the counselors. Listen to Wet Hot on July 4th, you won't regret it. Now hand over that beer!
