🌷For you! Spring, Songs, Healing, Hope...🌱 🎵🎵

Spring is on our doorstep. When I walk outside into the garden-to-come, the part that is not still covered with snow, I see tiny, fragile stalks of green pushing through the ground.

Every year, I gasp when I see this familiar sight. It always seems like a bit of a miracle. Even more miraculous will be how each young plant survives the keen interest of our many ravenous squirrels and chipmunks. Last year, several watched me as I planted those bulbs and seeds. I told them "No!" in as many ways as I could muster. But they are smart & persistent. So I try to be the same.

Recently, I was asked to be interviewed by podcast host, Gail Zugerman. Her show is called, Growing Older With Gusto. Gail creates a fun and lively mood in an interview. We talked about singing, of course. And laughing, loving and healing. If you have time to listen,
I think it's a fun and poignant 20 minutes.

In a similar theme, I created a video (5:48) for my Singing After 40 Youtube channel that encourages people to not give up on singing. Several people (friends, & students of singing) told me recently that they lacked the energy and inspiration to continue with singing. I shot this video to give all of us who love to sing, some food for thought about the power of music (singing, especially) to "feed' our souls. Also, I offer a book recommendation. A book I return to often for a spirit boost.
