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 this is about trying to help others, not about my desire for everyone to think I’m a good speaker… Also, Beloved Master Teacher of the Awakened Arts, Dr. Khaleghl Quinn, has included me in two of her events this month. The first one is called Heart Joy: The Magic of Music & Meditation, and 100% of the profits will be donated to The American Heart Association. I am truly honored to debut my newest inspirational song, Heaven Is in The Heart, at the grand piano. This mini-retreat takes place at the beautiful Swedenborgian Sanctuary in El Cerrito on Sunday 9/23 from 4:30 to 5:45… The second happening is a Personal Professional Self Care event. I’m excited to be singing to newly recorded tracks, and planning to give everyone attending a complimentary CD of 3 inspirational originals. Included will be my previously unreleased Invisible Glasses, the recently recorded Heaven Is in The Heart, and a soundtrack of Welcome to The Party performed live at the historic Washington Inn. This Seasonal Retreat: Emerging Through Falling Leaves of Gold will be on Sunday 9/30 from 1:00 to 4:00 in Richmond Heights at the Gyuto Foundation. This monastery has been blessed by the Dalai Lama, so I’m expecting good energy to abound! Tickets for both of these events can be purchased at the door, or in advance at a discounted rate through PayPal using Dr. Quinn’s email address: khaleghl18@gmail.com

Season of Joy
ByCynthiaThe 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.

Anticipation
ByCynthiaIt’s high time for a demo of my inspirational/Spiritual Songs. I’m waiting with bated breath for a shipment of finished CDs from U.P.S.

For My Mother
ByCynthiaMy mom gave me the gift of music. Some of my most cherished early memories include sitting side by side on the organ bench as she played and we sang together. She taught me beginning piano and basic singing technique, put a $50 piano in my bedroom, and set me loose! I was inspired by…
Dreaming Big

So, it’s time to sit at the piano for hours, somehow cutting my precious jewels down to 90 second finely facetted gems…
