Happy Full Moon
Happy Full Moon! Happy Wednesday!
It’s been an amazing couple of months for me and I am so grateful for all the opportunities I have had to sing my songs, share some yoga, and just be me all over the place. This picture is from the BB&N gym in Cambridge where I was blessed to share some songs and chant with some kids on behalf of Yoga Reaches Out Kids Yogathon. what a blast! 
Before that I was out in Northern California at this amazing place leading a women’s retreat with my great friend and yoga teacher Andrea Spacek. Stay tuned for more retreats here on Cape Cod and in Northern California. I have been playing all over the Cape and have lots of dates in December from the Chat House to new yoga studios in Falmouth. You can currently download both my CD’s Winds of Sinai and 2012: Isn’t it Amazing? for a DISCOUNTED price through Dec 21. ENJOY and spread the word.
And now the FULL MOON. Join us tonight in Yarmouth at Sounding Still Wellness for the Crystal bowl celebration. I will be singing and it will be a fabulous opportunity to release all that no longer serves you and open to the NEW. 2013 is truly a NEW year and I invite you to allow yourself to be NEW. So often we hang on to our past or our old stories of who we are or how the world works. Everything is new now, so feel safe and be confident in following your heart and being what you love. I have special deals for energy healing until the new year if you would like some assistance in this process of letting go.
I am so grateful for every opportunity I am given to serve – whether by singing, laughing, talking, meditating, singing some more or doing a Rising Star. And it is because you are open that I get to serve. THANK YOU.

Thurs Nov 29 Cape Cod Chat House 7-9

New day, New song
October can be a big month of self-reflection and going within. It is also when the veil (between life and death) is the thinnest. I started working on this new song around Oct. 1. feels good to be writing again. hope it will lead to a whole new album by Spring.
In the meantime if you are enjoying 2012: Isn’t it Amazing?, you may want to download Winds of Sinai, released in 2009. some good tunes on it. Come hear this song hopefully finished this Sat Oct 13 at the Chat House or some other time in the future.
I 
Just keep walking forward, even if you can’t see the love,
Just keep walking forward, sometimes walking is enough
Just keep singing your heart out, even if you don’t know why,
Just keep singing your heart out, you know one day we’ll all going to die
Don’t you want to feel you gave it your call
Don’t you want to feel you shared your gift
Don’t you want to feel you answered the call
And helped everyone around you lift
just watch everyone around you lift

The Courage to notice, act, & love
Happy August. Happy Full Moon.
August has always been a very special month for me, because my birthday falls at the very end. It’s like some sort of internal system clicks into place and I hear my inner guidance say, “Hey you, it’s time to be brilliant”. I have lived on this earth for almost 41 years now and I am fascinated by cycles. The cycles of nature, the cycles of families, and the cycles of my own thoughts.
Do you notice your cycles? what do you notice? sometimes slowing down to notice can be one of the most powerful choices we make, yet many of us resist it. I believe it takes great courage to slow down and notice, because sometimes what we notice is not always so comfortable. It also takes great courage to move forward. To notice, allow yourself to change and then act.
I have learned that this process of noticing internally what might be out of balance, making a change within ourself and then moving forward requires LOVE. It requires the courage to keep loving yourself and others even when things may feel uncomfortable.
When we summon this courage, anything is possible. And so in August I choose courage. I choose to wake each day, see myself for who I am, love it in all it’s light and dark ,and comitt to allowing change. Allowing change.
It takes great courage to allow change.
May your August be blessed with courage, love and awakening action. And if you haven’t heard my song Isn’t it Amazing yet? download it today. It’s all about courage.
40 AND FABULOUS! Lives on for LINDA’s LINK

Enjoying being lost at sea & saying Thank you
It’s time to write a blog and I have seriously started 4 different topics. focus issues anyone?
I was listening to Derek O’Neill‘s radio show The Way this past Monday on dream interpretations and there were two dreams that involved the ocean. Both were very deep and both were connected in some way to being lost at sea. Let’s just say I could relate.
I live near the ocean and lately I have been going to the beach every day. It’s like home. I watch and I listen to the waves and somehow feel something inside say, “yes, this is how it is – ebb flow ebb flow – Trust in trust.” I long to maintain a center point – a resting spot, and yet the flow just seems to flow completely out of my control. like the breath – in, out, in, out. In reaching for a resting spot or an answer, solution, something – I see how I am actually pushing it away from me and creating more discomfort.
It’s funny too, because my life is incredibly blessed right now: I live in a beautiful place, I am developing my own business doing what I love and what I feel my purpose is; I just released a beautiful CD; I have friends and family all around me. So what gives? What is this lingering sense of being lost at sea? This feeling that can hit me sometimes leaving me feeling quite uncomfortable and in the unknown?
I am not totally sure what it is, but I am grateful for it. I am grateful because I hold certain spiritual teachings, like “What we focus on expands.” And so, when I am feeling lost, I think “Thank you”. When I am feeling happy, I think “Thank you”. Slowly, slowly I believe this practice of awareness and gratitude helps to bring the polarizations that live within me into Union, transcending a sense of duality and separation.
I remember one time being at Creacon while teaching music in the middle east and was talking to Derek and sharing some of my struggles. His words often still come to me: “Throw out all the other teachings and say thank you for everything”
so that’s what I continue to do. When I am too in my head scrolling through all the different teachings, I just breath and say, “Thank you”. Try it. It really works.
And in the meantime, why not enjoy the view of the vast deep blue ocean of unknown we are all floating around in right now?
thanks for taking this journey with me. It’s so nice to know I am not alone.
love love love

2012: Isn’t it Amazing? CD Release
Mother Love, Valentines Day, and a NEW CD!
2012 Valentines day. How strange for me to be thinking of my mother. Or is it? Yes, it’s true. Every valentines day I always got a card from my mom. I remember one time when I was living in Brooklyn in my late 20’s thinking, really? Will I ever grow up and get a card (not to mention a dozen roses) from my beloved, vs. “just my mom”?
And now, almost 5 years after she has passed, I think. wow, it would be so awesome to get a card from my mom. My mom gave great cards throughout my whole life. Sometimes they were clever, sometimes they were deep and spiritual, but they were always filled with love and true knowledge of who I was. What a gift. The last one she gave me was really funny and actually joked about (in a very compassionate way) how I had had many many girlfriends and still couldn’t seem to get it quite right.
I was blessed. I grew up with many kinds of love in my house and as a result Valentines Day now is truly about Divine love for me. So often, we can all get caught up in the romance version of love – in the let’s fall in love and run away kind of love, in the “he hurt me, that jerk” kind of love. My mom’s cards held the – “I love you no matter what” kind of love. the “I am so grateful you were born” kind of love.
The Fire of Divine Love.
On March 22, I am releasing a new CD – a CD of songs that holds an expansive idea of love. After writing many many years about lost love, broken love, and when will I get the love?, it feels great to be offering this CD called : 2012: Isn’t it Amazing? – Songs & Chants for the New Vibration. I am so happy to be webcasting a concert LIVE from the Cape Cod Chat House. It will be invitation only, so if you are interested, please get in touch with me through FACEBOOK or TWITTER.
And so on this Valentines day, that is what I wish for all of you: Feel Loved. Truly loved just for being you. And if there isn’t another person in your life who can tell you that right now, trust that by loving yourself, more and more love will appear and bring you deeper and deeper into your True Source and the highest Truth: You Are Love.
We create everything. What do you want to create?
2012. It’s here. it feels good.
The past five years of my life have been incredibly awakening, challenging, expansive, ridiculous, regressive, fabulous, strange and familiar. and now here I am. and every message I receive from the Universe. is LET GO OF THE PAST. LET IT BE. TRUST.
so, how do we do that? It’s easy to read quotes, reference teachers, and even write songs (at least for me), but how do we truly look back for the last time and step forward with a new heart. And is that even possible? A part of me says it is, and yet I can feel how much I love to roll around in my past – hold on to it – feel it like I am still there, mine if for wisdom and creative inspiration. I mean come on, there’s some pretty cool stuff back there. like the 80’s. Michael Jackson’s Thriller. The rubix cube. Hanging with my cousin Elizabeth in Ahlignton Centa.
One of my favorite astrologers, Michael Lutin says that the planetary energy we are in right now is 1983. yikes! I was 12 going on 13. kind of a happening time for the little being I was. Last week I had a beautiful experience of stepping into my future with ease, joy and grace. I had the privlledge of sharing myself musically in service of a group chanting party right here on Cape Cod. It was one of those moments when you can feel the Divine Blueprint of your life clicking into alignment. Awesome and filled with Grace!
And so, after growing up here on Cape Cod in the 80’s, it was magical and almost surreal to drive up to a lakeside/woodside home that had an energy of love and transformation and service to the Divine that I thought I needed to go to California or somewhere else to experience. It certainly didn’t exist on Cape Cod. And then, in the way the Universe loves to show you who you are, the host says to me, there is someone who is excited to see you. It was my 7th & 8th grade Science teacher. YES. 1983 baby. What a gift. And in that moment I remembered something he said, “You may have a job in the future that doesn’t even exist yet”. And I smiled thinking. “This is the job. This is the future and I am here”
And so, it is now and I am here. I am aware I have far more wisdom, willingness to serve, and intention to be in my Truest self than I ever have and yet, the truth is, sometimes I just feel like I’m 12. So, hey, maybe that’s what 2012 will feel like for a while. It’s not the end of the world, though some may experience that way.
I choose to LOVE. I choose to LOVE me – the 12 year old and the 40 year old. The Being that transcends all labels and ages and times and emotions. I choose to LOVE like I’ve never loved before and then laugh as everything unfolds in a brand new way.
If we are creating everything, what do you CHOOSE to create?
