The holidays are done and the new year has begun! I’ve been in a self-imposed exile for this first week of 2011, reflecting, resting and writing. I want to share a live recording of the holiday song that I wrote this season. I hope you enjoy it!
These Things I Remember
Each and Every December.
Laughter, Joy and Loved one’s near,
strengthen me through the year.

And it went on and on… I loved every minute of the Road Rally this year! I saw old friends from years past and made a pile of new ones. I learned new things and was reminded of good ideas to implement. An amazing cast of incredible teachers and advocates including, Debra Russell, Ariel Hyatt, Steven Memel, Bob Baker, John Braheny, and of course Michael Laskow, our fearless leader!
The rally ended on Sunday night (or Monday morning depending how you look at it), but there were a several of us who just couldn’t let it be finished. We got together for a walk on the beach and hooked up for drinks late in the evening dragging it out into a-whole-nother day and into the night. As our numbers dwindled and the bar was closed down one last time our spirits started realizing that, yes, this had to end…
Goodbye, Taxi Road Rally! See you next year! XOXOXO!!!

On Sunday morning, usual in most ways, I slept in a little, made some coffee… At some point I picked up my hand mirror from where it sits on the counter in the bathroom and noticed it was completely shattered. I had done nothing to it, or at least nothing differently from any other day in its 8 year life. It would be fun and easy to explain this away with some ghostly presence, someone trying to tell me something or a magical omen. Perhaps that mirror represented something from my past that has ended… but the truth is that is was just a hand mirror. I used it to look at my reflection and the back of my head. Now, probably the cool dampness of this October in LA made the wood expand and contract and crack the glass set inside it. Perhaps a hairline crack in the mirror or the wood from years ago finally decided to go all the way. The scientific explanation is almost always just as interesting as anything else and it’s fun to make up stories, but we’ll never really know exactly how it happened…
