I Want To Thank You!

I am so very happy and grateful for my spiritual, mental and physical wellness.

There is a reason why we are still here on the planet. Some of us are more aware of the tenuous nature of life as a result of the life threatening experiences we have had. those experiences have made us more acutely aware of how important it is to be grateful, and the importance of actually living in thankful contemplation. I choose to show my thanks by working actively to create an atmosphere that is more conducive to healing.

Music has always had a healing effect on me. As a DJ, I always try to listen to the lyrics and mix music together to create a tapestry of a musical spiritual mosaic that can energetically lift those who are moved by my interpretation of the work of others. Like this tune by Alicia Myers “I Want To Thank You”, which has always been a favorite of mine because it is a great song that bridges spirituality and movement! I have not been spinning for a while, but mixes are always going around in my head. Once a DJ…

In my book, “Surrender To Heal” - 7 Ways to Rise Above The Battlefield of Life (available on this homepage) I used the titles of songs as the chapter titles so as to conjur up the energy that I thought was appropriate to help the reader to receive the information as best as possible. Everyone has expressed that they remembered something special about their own life that rang true when they read the book, and many talked about what they were doing when the particular songs were being played.

As the editor for RISE - THE MULTIMEDIA MAGAZINE, as well as here on this blog, I am going to use some of those same methods for communicating information and ideas. I hoe you enjoy the information and can appreciate the atmosphere we are working to create, and use it to participate in your own survival. Either way…I want to thank you!
