The Holidays were cause for resentment when I was younger.  It felt like ‘Tis the Season to be Busy: Just one great big “To Do” list.  Now, I look forward to decking the halls, and having many gatherings of friends & family in our home.  My students love the decorations, and we enjoy learning seasonal songs together.  And of course there’s the multitude of parties and performances to enjoy.  My sweetheart Shelly and I also celebrate our anniversary this month.  We share a love that has lasted for decades.  This year it’s an overnighter in Healdsburg with a view of the little downtown park all lit up for Christmas.  Later this month I get to perform for the 2nd “Let’s Raise The Roof” concert, where several faiths come together to raise money to help First Congregational Church Berkeley to recover from a big fire.  It’s  Sun. Dec. 18, 6:00 p.m., Lake Park Methodist Church, 281 Santa Clara Ave., Oakland. Ticket donation is $25/one or $20/two or more.  Info/Questions: roymosley@comcast.net  (415) 742-0538.  Ok, I guess it’s still the season to be busy!  But it’s also creative, warm, loving & giving. Staying close to my spiritual practices fills the holidays with great joy.

    Music heals the heart like nothing else, and I am so grateful for the inspirational songs I’ve been given to share. I will be singing 3 of these originals at the Unity Church in Santa Rosa on Sunday July 15. The service is at 10:30, and all are invited. Unity is truly a loving place…

    When I was in my twenties, a friend informed me that I was the most driven person she had ever met.  Certainly knocking on doors until one opened, was a specialty of mine. It worked.  But many times when better opportunities appeared seemingly out of nowhere, I wasn’t able to make use of them.  I was too busy following…

    Memories of Halloween come “trick-ling” back to me this time of year. My family lived in a small town where traditional Trick-or-Treat was entirely safe. I especially liked going to the Eminheisers’ house where we were invited in to see the extravagant decorations (nothing to “freak-out” little children in those days). The grand tour ended…

    I’ve been asked to tell my story at the Unity Castro Valley 10:30 church service this coming Sunday 9/9.  Yes, I was brave enough to write and post it on my website’s Inspirational Page and Face Book timeline, but sharing it live?  Scary!!!  Actually, I’m sure it will be fine if I ask Spirit to speak through me, and remember that…

    I’ve been hit with a sudden urge to audition for America’s Got Talent.  Apparently the desire to share my inspirational originals with the world at large is filling me with some serious chutzpah.  So, it’s time to sit at the piano for hours, somehow cutting my precious jewels down to 90 second finely facetted gems…
