On earth day we take care of our planet, which is the only place we have to call home. Today I went to check out my body and soul.

We were reminded of the importance of meditation, exercise, and ❤️ LOVE.

  • Find a quiet place where you can be alone and undisturbed.

  • Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths.

  • Put your attention on the area of your heart.

  • Breathe easily until you feel relaxed and quiet inside.

Then I went to see my primary care physician Dr. B ...

It has been said that 51 years ago, Paul McCartney officially announced the separation of The Beatles. Since then all their fans say The Beatles gave us the ultimate tracks.

I have never believed that you have to be either a Rolling Stones fan or prefer The Beatles, this video came to me by chance. I don't remember how or why, but I was inspired by Lennon's confidence knowing he was a genius and knowing that everything he did is great.

CHIC COREA WAS A KEYBOARDIST OF OUR GENERATION - I’ve been devastated by the passing of Chick Corea.  I think of him in the same way the generation before me thought of Duke Ellington or Count Basie, Bill Evans, Wynton Kelly, Barry Harris, Sun Ra, I could go on, knowing there are many other keyboardists and pianist-band leaders who stood out in previous generations and became the Jazz standard-bearers of their generation.

With Christmas upon us, tracking Santa, and holiday songs are popular. And while we are as big a fan of the holidays as anyone, we must admit: not all Christmas carols are created equal. Some are just as likely to remind us why we love these holidays.

So we found the most popular tunes judging based on Christmas cheer, and a willingness to hear them over and over again.

I have traveled through all of the earth's time zones, and as I prepare to celebrate another birthday the TIME has come to borrow some of my favorite music, lyrics and to add my own.   

A time to be born, a time to mature

A time to play, a time to study

A time to plant, a time to reap

A time to be sick, a time to heal

A time to laugh, a time to cry

A time to build up, a time to break down

A time to dance, a time to sit

A time to celebrate a time to mourn

A time to read and a time to write
