This has to be the ultimate, most gratifying behind-the-scenes ever. I could watch it all night!
I don’t know which Minions movie it’s from but now I’ve got to watch it. 😊
Who remembers the Monkees?
Seeing this photo I vaguely remembered the TV show and some of their hit songs from my childhood, but what a surprise to see Peter Tork reading the Autobiography (and yes, I had to do a little research to figure out which one he was).
It made more sense once I read this quote which was in Wikipedia:
Dolenz reflected on Tork’s departure, saying, “Three of us more or less play ourselves in the series. The odd one out is Peter Tork. Offstage he’s a real serious guy who thinks a lot about things like religion and problems in the world.
Interesting, eh?
A fun and joy-filled night
Yesterday’s concert was quite the success. We had a good turnout; our performance was received with great enthusiasm; and we almost sold out of the CDs we brought.
But more importantly, many people shared how they felt uplifted by the vibration and consciousness of the music and our singing, and how important it is that we offer this uplifted consciousness in today’s world.
For us, THIS is the only success that really matters. Well, that and the tremendous joy of sharing our wonderful music with an audience of receptive souls.
What a fun and joy-filled night!
Blessed by Swamiji
Ramesha did a really great job designing the mugs for “The Christmas Mystery Collection.” I especially like this one with the cover artwork on one side and a combined photo of Swamiji with the group on the other.
In fact, as I happened to see it this morning while rushing around preparing for today’s concert, it struck me that Swamiji was actually blessing us.
And I do believe that’s exactly what happened today. It was a joyful, grace-filled process from start to finish, with a completely successful evening being the end result.
What joy (details tomorrow)!
From our new Christmas album
After months of recording and editing and planning and rehearsing and promoting and so on and so forth…all the pieces are finally falling into place!
We have a CD and tomorrow we do our launch concert in Sacramento.
But for now, you can view the lyric video of the first single from the album. Hope you enjoy it!
Moon as bright as a star
What an amazing moon we have tonight!
It was already so bright last night that I had to dig out my eye mask in order to sleep, so I can only imagine what tonight will be like.
A meditation on letting go
Beautiful…
(And no, the original poster wasn’t implying that dead leaves grow into trees. It’s poetic; think of it as dead leaves nurturing the new growth.)
Two too many spiders
Having lived in a rural community for most of the past twenty years, I’ve become largely desensitized to spiders.
After all, considering that we also get frogs and lizards inside the house during different seasons of the year, spiders start to seem like no big deal (unless they’re too close to my bed; that’s a whole other story!).
But finding two spiders on the bathroom counter this morning was really a bit much. Lucky for them, I was in a huge rush, so I had to just leave them there and hope they would relocate on their own. 😅
Feeling rich
Today I’m feeling so grateful for the awareness that I am rich in every way that counts.
Thank you, God!
Enjoying the mist
It rained pretty good this morning, then cleared up enough in the afternoon that I was able to go for a nice walk.
When I got back home, the mist was rolling in and I ended up sitting on the patio just listening to the stillness, watching the changing view, and remembering how much I love this kind of weather (partly because it reminds me of foggy San Francisco).
I also found myself humming the beautiful song, “Mist,” by Swami Kriyananda (from the Mystic Harp CD). It was the perfect soundtrack to my afternoon.
