Susan Tedeschi: 700 Houses (LIVE)

Every time I hear this song, 700 Houses, by Susan Tedeschi, I get chills… This is a great live version from the Cazorla Blues Festival on July 25th, 2009:

700 Houses is on Susan Tedeschi’s 2008 release, Back To The River. Her music, whether from her solo career, or with her husband Derek Trucks, in their acclaimed Tedeschi Tricks Band, always speaks to me. In fact, I listen to Tedeschi Trucks frequently to find inspiration before I sit down to write. I find that a little sing along with Susan, goes a long way to tune my voice for the page.

Daily Affirmations: Letting Go

storm sandy pointIt is very difficult sometimes to let go. We hold on to many issues and past transgressions in our lives, that serve only to keep storms brewing in our minds. And then, in our moments of weakness, those things of the past creep into the framework of our mind and the storm clouds blow in.

Today, I re-mind myself that the process of letting going is an ongoing practice, and forgiveness is a major part of that process. Each time I begin to think of the past and lay blame, I recognize that in order to let go, I must forgive all, including myself, for the past that did not go as I had hoped it would. The past is past. We can not change that. We can in the present work daily on letting go and forgiveness. If we don’t, we keep storms brewing in our hearts and minds.

Namaste… Pamela

Daily Affirmations: The Ebb and Flow of our Lives

sandy point facing southAs the ocean’s tides draw out each it is a splendid reminder of the ebb and flow of our lives. Waiting for the tide to draw back or to come in reminds us daily of both the need to accept the ebb and flow of life, and the importance of practicing patience in our lives.

Today, I re-mind myself that there is a time for everything to come to fruition, and that time is not set by our clock, but the clock of the universe. The goals that I set, the desires that I resolve to bring to life, will all come in time. Patience is required to see these and all things through. Change is constant, I know I must ebb and flow with it.

Namaste… Pamela

Daily Affirmations: We Are All Connected

3 dories
Today, I re-mind myself that we are all connected. That connection may be strong or tenuous at best, but the connection exists. How we relate to others, how we utilize our connection to each other, is our choice. However, when we choose to connect, to share experience and circumstance, to help each other within our connections, we make our live and the life of others betters. In this we increase our abundance and the abundance of others.

Namaste… Pamela

Daily Affirmations: Happiness

double orange lilies Happiness is not a gift but a choice. I affirm each day… In order to be happy, I must choose to be happy, everyday. It is not a gift, and I must work at achieving my happiness. I alone can make myself happy. It starts with a choice, and a re-programing of my thought process.

Namaste… Pamela
