It’s Finally Here!! I am so thrilled to share this new record with you!! From upbeat tracks like Now is My Time that make you want to drive down a country road with the windows down and the volume up to peaceful chants such as Gate Gate that tap into your spiritual state, Wise Innocence is not just an album, it’s an experience – a vibration that will inspire and awaken you to live the life you always imagined for yourself. Produced by Jon Evans and featuring percussion by Fugan Dineen, Wise Innocence highlights my range as both a songwriter and healer.
In honor of this Mother’s Day weekend, I talk a little bit about my mom in this video and how she influenced me as a musician and an artist. For those of you that don’t know she passed almost 8 years ago and much of my musical and spiritual journey has been deeply connected to that experience.
I am so grateful for the gift of music and how it connects me to her and all Beings. Thank YOU for all who have shown their support on my kickstarter campaign. It means so much. There are only 9 days left. I know we can do this. Let’s have a big weekend!
Have a beautiful Mother’s Day weekend and know that you are deeply loved by the Divine Mother, no matter what is going on in your life.
My goal is to raise at least $3000 in the first weekend. I know we can do it. GO NOW and be a part of this NEW CD and get exclusive rewards and behind the scene updates/videos and blogs by me. Help us reach our ultimate goal of $12,000 by May 18! I was just in the recording studio yesterday with Jon Evans and I can’t wait to share the new songs and sacred chants. GO NOW to the kickstarter official page and don’t miss out on any of the fun. THANK YOU. JAI JAI MA!
So many people are writing and talking today about this solar eclipse and new moon. I am so grateful to be back in the recording studio. Being in the studio is one of my favorite ways to spend my time. It’s creative, expansive and requires collaboration and focus. I am recording some original songs and bunch of chants and I can’t wait to share it all with you. We are aiming for June release so stay tuned.
In the meantime, enjoy this new moon energy and plant seeds with consciousness and love. You may want to download this meditation from my Friend James. I did the background music.
Ah. the leaves are falling. even though it’s strangely humid today, the air has been feeling cooler. It’s a time of going inside for me and a great time to write songs.

Wow. Another full moon in August has come and gone. I don’t know about you but this past weekend on Cape Cod was just perfect. Full Moon. Hot Sun. Cool air. Beach time. Live music. Family and Friends. As Mark Erelli writes in his song August, “A fool would ask for more” (ps. check out his new upcoming release Milltowns on Sept. 9)
This time last summer I can’t say I felt as good as I do now. In fact, I had just finished 30 days of antibiotics for Lyme Disease and was not feeling very inspired in general. Isn’t it amazing how our lives go through cycles. The longer I live and practice spiritual teachings I have received, the more I allow this to happen with ease and grace.
Want to open yourself to some of these teachings, not to mention connection, community, fun, and BLISS? JOIN US this weekend at Love Yoga Fest. I will be opening the day on Saturday at 7am with a chanting of the Gayatri Mantra, among other chants and then signing again on the Main Stage at 5:00pm. I will also be at a healing table with Kristen O’toole offering the Prema Agni & Rising Star Energy Healings Systems. This energy was taught to us by Derek O’Neill, who will be in Boston on Nov. 9. Stop by, learn more, and FEEL THE LOVE.
This weekend, right in Aselton Park Hyannis yoga teachers from all over the Cape and New England will be offering their joy, wisdom, experience, and fun for you to play, frolic, explore, and awaken. What a gift to Cape Cod!! I remember just a couple years ago we were doing yoga on the Green and now here we are!! Thank you Love Live Local Ladies and Annika for birthing this dream I had imagined way back then. May All Beings in All the Worlds be Happy and may CAPE COD lead the way.
This Full moon in July is called Guru Purnima and in the Hindu faith it is considered an auspicious day of honoring the guru – or great sage and teacher. Many of you know I consider Derek O’Neil a great sage and teacher of mine. He will be in Boston on Nov. 9 and I encourage anyone interested to come. It’s a lot cheaper then getting all the way to Ireland and it will be a wonderful day!
I have had many teachers in my life. My first and perhaps most deeply felt one was my mom. For many of us, this is true. Wether we feel our relationship with her was wonderful, horrible or somewhere in between, this initial relationship is one of our greatest teachers.
Next comes Dad. I have been reflecting recently on some of my favorite (and humorous) things I have learned from my Dad. Here are the top 10 (according to me)
Me & Dad & Dennis (my big bro)
10. Ritz crackers and cheese can be a meal
9. Really, it’s not that windy, we can make it to the next port
8. Fixing stuff, no matter how broken, is much preferred to buying something new
7. Kids are far more resilient than adults think
6. Laughing at yourself, life, and everything else is a really good idea
5. Music is awesome and you should play it loudly in your house all the time and go see it live
4. Movies are also amazing and you should seek out independent and interesting films. They feed you.
3. Even when you feel you are at your worst, you are still probably better than most
2. 95% of life is showing up
1. Keep one hand for yourself and one hand for the boat
Thank you to all my teachers, especially my Dad. You can learn more about him at HIS BLOG
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.
Come chant to the full moon. Chant to your heart. Chant to each other. What a wonderful way to kick-off summer! If you are feeling crazy, come chant. If you are feeling fabulous, come chant. Chant and be free! JAYJAGATAMABE JAI JAI MA!
As some of you may know Jayajagatambe is a big hit with children. I am not sure what it is, but all the kids love this track. 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!
