NPR has declared Nov 28, 2008 the first annual national day of listening. Check it out!

“The Secret Treasure of Yogic Alignment” filmed and edited by moi on May 20, 2008. John’s talk was a part of the first annual NIH Yoga Week. Looking forward to the second annual event next September.

We are creating a christening bead bracelet along with the other women in the new life of Annabella Patton McCoy. Amidst my collection, I found some beautiful rose quartz beads that I think will suit her well. A healing stones jewelry website shares the healing qualities of rose quartz for my little Bella.

“Rose quartz projects soft, soothing vibrations that resonate with the frequency of unconditional love, stimulating the heart chakra. Rose quartz is a gently healing stone, allowing for the slow opening of the heart to love and healing. Rose quartz supports the wearer or bearer in all spiritual practices and daily activities that promote the development of compassion for all beings — and especially for oneself. Rose quartz has often been used in the treatment of wounds to the emotional body, and especially a wounded heart, but can also be used effectively in treatment of the throat, third eye and crown chakra.”

We’ve got a bunch of ‘em and no time to pick ‘em. I am going to do my best, but I found a great post about making cherry preserves from AOL’s food blog. Enjoy!

Since I successfully organic chemistry on May 5, 2008, I will return to teaching yoga classes. A new Yoga Studio and Physical Therapy Center opened up less than a mile from my home!
It is a gorgeous space. I will post some photos soon.

Classes begin June 3 8:30-10:00AM
Iyengar Influenced Hatha Yoga

More classes coming soon…

That’s right! I have been in the thick of the music business for so long with the recording studio that I have not listened to music that was not recorded at Monkeyclaus, let alone gone to a music festival! And I have to say, New Orleans does it right! Not only do you have access to great music, art and food from 11-7 when the festival is happening, but musicians play all night long at various spots around town. My miracle happened at Rock and Bowl, where there was a three band line-up of local Monsters, who really aren’t around anymore since they are so big they are usually on the road somewhere far from New Orleans. But they wouldn’t miss Jazz Fest. It really is a fantastic festival and such a wonderful city to visit. (This was my first time, believe it or not.)

But don’t take my word for it. Local New Orleans Writer, Chris Rose has the inside scoop.

And to the gentleman who miracled me, Thank you Thank you Thank you. Hope to see you next time!

I saw a great Irish performance last night at Nelson County’s new Hamner Theatre with Nelson County’s Own Patrick Olwell and Friends. Patrick is an internationally renowned flute maker and performed with his group:
Patrick Olwell, Irish flute
Matthew Olwell, percussion & dance
David Scheim, Celtic harp
Bronwen Keith-Hynes, fiddle

What a treat. Matthew recommended a video on youtube in honor of st. patrick’s day so I thought I would share it with you here.
