"Approach
love and cooking with reckless abandon."
Dalai Lama |

I'm pleased to present
my own personal blend of ideas intended to encourage, cultivate and promote the positive aspects of
living together in our interconnected world.

"Music is one of
those things that is constantly going
in my head all the time. It's sort of like the evolution
and creation of doing food, or my philosophy about wine.
It's always beating in my head, so it keeps the spirit moving."
Emeril Lagasse

Along with music
and artist interviews, you'll find a host of colorful and
thought provoking ways to lead a richer, more gracious,
tuned-in life with people of like mind
| |
"As for the future, your task is not to forsee
it, but to enable it."
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry French writer
|
|
One of my favorite
authors, Alice Walker, who wrote "The Color Purple", said, "I think
we have to own the fears that we have of each other, and then, in
some practical way, some daily way, figure out how to see people
differently than the way we were brought up to."
What you'll find here are
entertaining, uplifting and practical daily ways to turn away from
our fears by enjoying the best
of our world and each other.

When you begin to
see the possibilities of music,
you desire to do something really good for people,
to help humanity free itself from its hangups …
I want to speak
to their souls."
John Coltrane |

My overriding interest
in life is to create avenues of mutual understanding and
enjoyment among people of diverse cultures and worldviews.
I believe that sharing
those things which bring all of us pleasure is the most
effective way to do that.
