I had the recent pleasure of celebrating the one & only Jerry Garcia, with 1350 other fortunate souls! The event was: The 4th Annual Port City "Jerry Day"! And it took place at the Greenfield Lake Amphitheater, located in Wilmington, NC :) Not only was it a celebration of Jerry, but it was also a fundraiser for The United Way! It was a wonderful way to spend an evening! Listening to the super sweet sounds of The Possums, and The Garcia Project, along with helping to raise loot for a worthy cause...

MUSIC SWEET MUSIC... Yup, I'm coming to you with another music oriented episode!! This episode is all about the band I've recently come to love: "Into The Fog"!

With its members having various backgrounds ranging from bluegrass, country, rock, to funk, Into The Fog creates a musical melting pot of sounds in an acoustic/newgrass setting." PLEASE read the article included...

It's a Bucket List Bonanza!!! I'm truly living my best life these days! Up until 7.5 months ago my life was intensely overwhelming and quite dark. But I made it through, and since have been opting to fully embrace life and enjoy the opportunities this earthly experience offers! PARTICULARLY the musical opportunities that really light my fire! In this episode I share about my recent Birthday Bucket List Bash that was getting to see the band Phish IN THE PIT!! My brother and I rang in my 51st year...

I LOVE music!!! It certainly soothes the savage beast within me, and I imagine it does the same for many of ya'll as well ;) I've never been much of a "Bucket List" kind of gal, yet it was hard to not resonate with the idea when an opportunity to fullfill a desired earthly experience recently presented itself to me. In this episode you'll hear about the musical experience that became the first item added to AND checked off my newly created Bucket List ;) Whether or not your a fan of this particu...

It's official!! I'm a "Shy" again! In this episode I chat about my personal experience AND feelings connected to the name change process. I changed my name after getting married... and now that I'm officially divorced, and transitioning to becoming a resident of another state, I figured it was about time to come full circle by getting back my independant status, via taking back my maiden name. Yup, I've found for me that a name does matter ;) Heads up: It wasn't an easy process. And there was su...

Hello Cyberspace! I can already feel my vulnerability hangover kicking in... Why you ask? Well in this episode I opted to share my personal journey related to my ketamine infusion experience. I am not a physician, therapist, psychologist, Nurse Practitioner, or anything related to the medical world. I am also NOT advocating for OR claiming that ketamine is for you. What I am doing is sharing what lead ME to making the decision to participate in a clinical ketamine infusion protocol, along with w...

There was a time when the idea of being "independant" scared me to death! I used many things that kept me in a very dependant state of body, mind AND spirit. Well... it ain't like that anymore ;) THANK GOODNESS!! And so, in the spirt of "Independance Day" I opted to focus on the many ways independance has presented itself to me thus far on my earthly experience. As always, I hope to inspire YOU to take a look at your life, and if you find your not already heading in an independant direction then...

If so than this episode is sure to resonate with you, and if not then perhaps you'll gain insight into what your friends and/or family members may be feeling after going through OR being in the midst of "homelife" changes.

I am presently living out, in real time, the social experiment that is 2 parents & their two grown children all again living under one roof!

In this episode I share my thoughts on embracing AND finding gratitude in the messy opportunities that continuously present themselves to us on this jou...

Anyone out there struggle with the endless challenges we humans are presented with? I don't know about you, but I find I say, "What the fuck?", quite often! Also translated as, "What's the purpose?!" Yup, I'm the kind of person who needs to find purpose in lifes challenging happenings, so as to make sense of the situation, or as I often say, "Give purpose to the pain.", which in turn allows me enjoy my life on planet Earth, more often than not ;) Quite often the purpose is just a straight up opp...

So my Big Easy adventure has come to a close... for now ;) What a whirlwind 4 days & 5 nights I got to spend in the Crescent City! It was SOOOO much more than I expected and/or hoped for!! In this episode I unpack my memories from Sunday AND Monday... I was supposed to fly out Monday morning, but due to a MORNING OF flight cancellation, I had the pleasure of getting in another full day of New Orleans!! I squeezed in so many of the things I thought I'd have to do on my next visit! Although I did'...

OR I equally hope to reignite any dimmed flames for those who have been & are delaying a trip back to this incredible section of Louisiana :...

I'm about to take a trip to New Orleans, for Jazz Fest, and I'm admittedly freaking out a bit! What is taking a trip like for you? Got any tips for my Podfest adventure next month?! Travelling is always a bit challenging for me, and this trip is no exception ;) Spend a bit of time with me as I work through a bit of my anxiety around leaving the comfy surroundings of the place I call home, to head into the madness and mayhem of 3 music filled days in the Big Easy! **DISCLAIMER: Please take note t...

"Let go? Are you mad?!" That was surely my thought process for a good portion of my life, and still can be at times, BUT I'm getting better at embracing the process AND truly understanding that it IS the way to freedom. The last few years of my life have been filled with many opportunites to let go, especially the last 6 months. And albeit I would have preferred to NOT have had to go through such a challenging time in life, I can honestly say that I'd rather grow through the shit, than just sit ...

3 months ago yesterday I rolled into NC, having recently left the place I'd called home for the last 27 years. I packed up my car and my dogs and I headed from high in the Rockies to the Southern Atlantic Coast. I'm now officially 3 months into my new life. A life I wanted nothing to do with. A life I was afraid of living, only to find out it's the best life I've lived in quite a few years. That just goes to show that I have NO idea what is good for me, while also learning that out of great grie...

This episode was inspired by my friend Ian!! His topic suggestion was: "The pressure we put on ourselves." I'm sure we all know too well how it feels to be pressured by outside sources, and even worse the good old self imposed pressure. In this episode I share my own experience on the topic and hope that you'll find comfort in knowing that your not alone in this area. I equally hope you end up feeling inspired to begin a practice, or continue honing in on a practice, that aims to release your pr...
