Do you like hearing and singing sweet vocal harmonies, accompanied by sure-fingered guitar work? I sure do!  That's why I'll be at the Unity Coffeehouse this Friday night, singing along with Charley Thweatt, a touring troubadour who is one of the very best at getting folks to join in with his upbeat, uplifting tunes.  He's in concert at the Unity Coffeehouse from 7:00-9:20pm, located at 1723 W. Lawndale, near Broadway and Loop 410.  I guarantee you'll leave with a huge smile in your heart, and some powerful affirmations in your soul. I really hope you can join us there!
 
Speaking of powerful music - did you hear about the fire that swept through Jump-Start Theater last Sunday morning? Or perhaps you were even there to see what happened?  But if not, let me tell you about it...
 
It started immediately with our opening song:  things were really rocking and rolling; the Circle Band rhythm section was in particularly fine form, and the crowd was even more responsive than usual.  The next thing I knew, Love was spontaneously moving and grooving through the room, which literally felt like it was on fire.  I hadn't witnessed anything like it in years... By the time noon rolled around, we had gotten so wound up that a large portion of the folks attending ended up on their feet and dancing all around the altars for the last two songs.  As you can see from the photo above, it was Big Fun!
 
As a matter of fact, it was so much fun that I'm looking forward to finding ways to weave a pulsing, driving dance beat through our gathering on a regular basis, while still including times of quiet contemplation and meditation, too.   I'm not sure how that will translate into action, but I can't wait to see what happens this next Sunday, as we honor the Divine Mother in our midst with another dance groove celebration.  Hope to see you there! 

 
With blessings,
