Have you become the person that knows the price of everything but the value of nothing?

It has been almost 3 years since Canada‘s famous opera singer Russell Braun took the stage during our annual December fundraiser in Toronto  and sang my son David’s song “pray for your peace”.
There was not a dry eye in the house and for me, it was one of the most remarkable healing experiences perhaps I have ever had.

Music can heal us in a profound way – – please share your music healing story or your strength and hope to help those who struggle.

Here at the charity, we use music as a prescription towards wellness And as our guide towards Hope❤️

Sometimes I get so tired of the stigma that is often masked and not obvious –
particularly against people who think differently, struggle differently; often creative people.
I need this reminder that if people don’t treat you with respect then they don’t have your best interest at heart. ❤️ 

Stay clear of people who disrespect you.

Interesting video! How do you deal with stress?

It may not seem like it, but stress can actually be a good thing — if you choose to see it that way. Here’s how: http://t.ted.com/ptUg5Gv | 75 comments on LinkedIn

Meditation has always been in my life. I get into my practice but often I stop and I notice a huge difference when I stop meditating daily. ( usually before I pick up my cell phone in am!)

Stories and thoughts return swiftly and furiously and I’m back to “doing” too much and not “ being” more present and peaceful.

Please share your experience about your meditation  practice and healing.

INSPIRATIONAL WORDS
“Fewer the thoughts, greater the peace.”

Life is beautiful sometimes – – but is there someone you’re thinking about who is having a rough patch?

Drop your bias and pick up the phone and check in! Reach out and have a coffee if you can – – they are probably someone incredibly creative.

You can be saving  a life.

Simple human kindness – – all day long.
