Happy Mothers Day to all – A little late. I was in Boston this past weekend participating in an Autism and Music Conference at Boston Conservatory. Along with the fabulous North End meal, the weekend was truly nourishing.

And now I am off to help my cousin perform her powerful play SICK.mom saying hi

I love May. I love this time of constant visible growth in nature and the absolute blooming of green green green and pink and yellow and all the colors. IT’s also nice this year that my inside experience matches the nature outside me, as I feel like I too am rebirthing and blooming again. This is not always this case. we don’t always feel in sync with the nature around is and that’s ok.

May 17 will mark the 7th year anniversary of my mom’s passing from this earth. 7 years. It feels like a blink of an eye and multiple lifetimes. And isn’t that how time feels these days? both compressed and expanded. It’s amazing if we are aware, open, empowered, and excited to serve ourselves and those around us, then we are able to flow with all that is. I am grateful for every moment of the last 7 years in which I experienced the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. I am grateful for it all. In deep gratitude and honoring of my mother, Ellen, myself, and our journey together, I am sharing this song and video I created while living in Egypt in 2010.

We are all mothers in our own way. THANK YOU for all you are and all you create. Happy FULL MOON tomorrow.

Isn’t it Amazing?

It’s March and it’s still pretty cold…

Whew!! It’s been a wide ride, has it not?  

sunrise on new moon - Perfect Balance - 3.1.14

Sunrise on New Moon – Perfect Balance – 3.1.14

I feel like I have undergone a deep inner transformation. Not that much in my outer world has changed and yet I feel completely NEW. For me the journey began way back in September, however it certainly culminated and quantam leaped from Dec 21, 2013 until now. I am not sure I can articulate exactly what happened except that much was purified out of my system so that I could remember who I am and be in better and lighter service.

Today is a new moon. And I remember in January hearing a little voice in my head say, “just make it to March”. This could be because I am a true New Englander now and “making it to March” is what we the collective consciousness is often doing, but it felt energetic to me.

And I can tell you now: this morning, with the new moon in full presence on March 1, that little voice was right on. If you want more insight on theses energies, I really enjoyed this article by Jon Waldrup on The Cosmic Path.

So what new is birthing? a deep belief within that the work I am doing matters and is exactly what I am supposed to be doing. Alleluia! This is leading to a new CD chanting project, lots of upcoming gigs, more sessions Sounding Still Wellness, and overall more fun doing what I love.

Thank you for listening, reading, following along and being you. May your new moon and MARCH be happy, warm, silly, and fabulous!

Please join me for the Heart of Wellness event tomorrow and the multiple opportunities to celebrate International Women’s Day musically and creatively next weekend right here on Cape Cod. Also I will be at the Harvest Wine Bar & Gallery on Sunday March 16 for an early show 4-7. Spring is a coming!!

Sunday March 2 – Heart of Wellness Event 1-4pm
Courtyard Marriot

Saturday March 8 – All About Seven Cape Cod Museum of Art   3-5  – 7 Women Songwriters

 Sunday March 9 WOMEN ROCK! Cultural Center of Cape Cod

Isn’t it Amazing this CD came out almost two years ago. YOU CAN now LISTEN and REQUEST the single at this LA radio station

I’ll be opening for a great evening of music this Saturday NIght at Harvest Gallery & Wine Bar in Dennis, MA with Molly Parmenter, Sheri Lynne, and Sara Laketa! I go on at 6:30.

On another note, I recently joined this inspiration exchange online and I keep getting these emails with lots of great quotes/prayers/thoughts. This is one of my favs:

Smiling increases your face value

so true! no matter where you are, what you are doing or how you are feeling, take a deep breath and smile. Choose to be happy RIGHT NOW wherever you are. this is a practice and it can transform not only you, but those around you.

Tomorrow is a NEW MOON and according to many it will include a huge shift. heaviness will lift, clarity will come and we will be invited to step up, step out and LIVE that which we know is true. LOVE and COMPASSION are the way. know that each breath you take, each smile you share, each laugh to allow creates more love inside yourself and all around you.

MUSIC LESSONS!        RISING STAR SESSIONS!         MONDAY MEDITATION!

Hope to see you Saturday Night at Harvest!

Black Friday. Small Business Saturday. Cyber Monday.

How about BE HUMAN everyday? Or BE KIND anyway? Or SING SING away the day.

Or my favorite….NEW MOON MONDAY (It is in fact a new moon today) – Let’s plant seeds of happy happy!

I must admit the whole shopping focus over this transition from thanksgiving to Christmas can get a little old and yet here I am another small business owner and independent musician who has services and music to offer. So, a hope you will receive this post in love, as I let you know that you can buy my CD’s right now at a discounted holiday price. Thank you for your support.

And on this new moon – a wonderful and powerful time for your own intentions – I wish you ease, grave, passion, motivation, spontaneous joy, giggles, rest, more passion, and anything else you can dream! And join me on Saturday Dec. 21 for my annual Solstice concert and love fest.

And if you missed it here is a little YOUTUBE THANK YOU LOVE I posted last week – a song from my Winds of Sinai Album.Image

And I don’t know about you, but I trust kids. you can’t fake it with kids. If they are not feeling the music, that’s usually a sign the music doesn’t have it. You can LISTEN to Jayajagatambe anytime you want on Reverbnation and why not become a fan?  Come to the Chat House on Saturday night and hear one of my guitar students help me play JAYJAGATAMBE. I am super excited for him and super excited for me. I will also be playing lots of good tunes to kick off ths summer right for all of Cape Cod! May we all be peaceful, happy, and prosperous!

2013-yogathon-new-englandI am singing at the Cape Cod Chat House tonight and am splitting the bank with Yoga Reaches Out. After the recent events in Boston, I am so grateful to be gathering with the YOGA community of Boston and beyond to celebrate the power of LOVING ACTION. if you don’t know about the New England Yogathon yet. tune in baby. I will be singing at Gilette stadium on this Sunday while my friend and owner of Power Yoga of Cape Cod, Jill Abraham teaches yoga.

This is a dream come true and just one flower of many that has begun to bloom as a result of seeds I planted in early 2011.  We are always planting seeds. in every moment. so choose wisely and don’t let the events that are happening around you shift your focus for too long. love love love.

I am also SO HAPPY to be at the First Encounter Coffeehouse this Saturday night as a a part of a Celebration of local women songwriters.

More seeds have sown another trip out to Northern California from May 1-8, where will be leading a womens retreat with my good friend Andrea Spacek, as well as doing my first ever gig in Sacramento at The Coffee Garden.  I will also be playing again for Ryan Bailey at East Wind Yoga in Auburn, CA. What a gift to be oooommmmming coast to coast!

REMEMBER, we are always planting seeds in every moment. so choose wisely and don’t let events that are happening around you shift your focus for too long. love love love.

Well It’s April 8 and it finally feels warm. sometime last week I had a little impromptu lunch break a local beach in Dennis called Mayflower. What a gorgeous day it was. chilly, but GORGEOUS. Great time to listen to Isn’t It Amazing?

This past Thursday and Friday night I was up in Boston first at Club Passim to see Lori McKenna share her new album Massachusetts produced by Mark Erelli. It was the most rocking folk show I ever saw at Passim and I think Mark played 7 instruments. So inspiring and the album is awesome!
