About me:
I am a published author, freelance writer, speaker, teacher, tv and radio talk show host, professional mentor and coach to artists, entertainers, and sports figures worldwide in the area of Extraordinary Thinking for over 25 years. My goal and burning passion is to help people get to higher formats of thought to improve daily life. It's all about getting to the place where you understand that you are always better than what you "put up with" in yourself. The higher you reach, the better life gets. You are worth the journey. We all are.This site is a place for artists and entertainers to chat with me about anything that we jointly agree to be of value. Some of the most enjoyable moments of my life, workwise, have happened when I have been able to hang out with artists very casually and talk about life from an extraordinary viewpoint. That's been pure magic. I've had the honor to sit in very comfortable living rooms, airplanes, just about anywhere, with legends and simply enjoy each other, have a cup of tea, put up the feet, pull out a guitar or play a little piano, and peel the layers off of ordinary thinking. This site is sort of an online version of that experience. I feature artists from across the world that I enjoy, find interesting, and that I think you might be interested in. I intentionally choose individuals with great minds and soaring spirits and at this point in my life, I love supporting indie artists, such as my friend, Jose.

Jose surprised me on my birthday this year with a new song that is not on the player here. I thought you might appreciate his song with my text in extraordinary thinking terms. Sit back, relax, and enjoy Jose's wonderful talents.

I have been blessed to have a feast of music all of my life. My father raised me and spoke music as a second language. I was treated to everything from Elvis to gospel rock, country to classical and opera. He encouraged music, movies, and books as the greatest forms of entertainment on earth and made sure that my sister and I sang for the people at his churches on Sundays. The preacher's girls rocked the house. When my friend, Steve, the first boy I ever had a crush on, picked up a guitar and started to play "Lady Madonna", man, I was lost forever to the world of music. I believe we were 12 or 13. The Beatles, from the get go did me in. I could never be the same. As my life evolved, it was natural that I'd spend a lot of time around writers, directors, filmmakers, and musicians. It's just where I belong. I joke about how my hubby sleeps with his guitars... but, hey, there is one on the bed right now. I even married 3 musicians. That's how addicted I am. And it's all good.
