Hope this finds you all well and busily scurrying around preparing for the holidays.
It’s been a very fulfilling time for me. Amidst the chaos on the planet I have managed to find a greater peace. This year, my mother died leaving her legacy for me to march on. At the same time my [...]
What does Thanksgiving mean to you? Now, more than ever, let us unite in showing gratitude for LIFE! Isn’t every day a challenge? Now, more than ever, give thanks.
I am so grateful to have been part of my baby Kt’s celebration of marriage. So much appreciation was shown by her family and friends.Flying home to [...]
A new dose of HOPE is being dispersed; can you feel it? I know it looks gloomy ‘out there’ and inside. Gets our attention, huh! I guess that’s what it takes after so many decades, nay centuries of slow and steady dis-empowerment. Each one of us, and not just us humans, are born from an [...]
There’s a new man in my life. No, it’s not what you think… I’m still happily married. Hal Lifson is the man who revived Nancy Sinatra in the 90’s. He contacted me after seeing my video on YouTube and asked me when the photo of me was taken on the most recent home page as [...]
Our president has a knack for keeping his cool. It’s a true test of character to be of a benevolent nature in such an overwhelming position. I try and take his lead. I also congratulate the honor of his winning the Nobel Peace Prize. A peaceful warrior cannot react emotionally without contributing to the toxic [...]
Being in LA means two things to me; first and foremost I have opportunities to visit with my children and loved ones; second, to assimilate myself into the world of music. This time around I found myself in the studio recording some original tunes and some covers. A wonderful little place in Silverlake has produced [...]
The hurricane warnings caused a panic here. Hurricane Felicia was roaring at 160 mph last week in the Pacific. My friend Vicki told me last Saturday, as we were about to go to the theater in Kona to see Nora Ephron’s movie about the iconic Julia Childs, “the reason it’s so still today is because [...]
How ironic that on the same day I was scheduled to make my “encore” video of a song I had sung in my teens that Michael Jackson was being memorialized. 7.7.or July 7, 2009, only a few blocks away from the Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles, where 16,000 people were peacefully gathered to celebrate [...]
It takes a president who is black to bring out the best and the worst in some of us. Seems there are those that want to optimize the opportunity to show their true colors by wasting our precious time trying to sell the public on President Obama being born in Kenya! Good. It’s so absurd [...]
You know, sometimes, you just have to say f*#k it! Well, today I felt a huge wave of grief welling up inside. First, I decided to honor my Virgo moon and do some housework. Down on my knees I go; a roll of paper towels and some sudsy water. My balcony tile is 18″×18″, off [...]
