Warm greetings and blessings to you, dear Friend!
May I – may you – may we –
touch someone with kindness today,
and delight in knowing that that kindness will be felt
for the rest of time
in waves that will spread.
THIS MONTH’S TOPIC
(In video format! Please click here.)
As mentioned in the video above:
The news from here:
I apologize for another period of “radio silence” and not sharing a newsletter with you in October; the wave of live music work that began for me in early July (as a singer, bassist, NS Stickist and Chapman Stickist) has continued! I am filled with gratitude for all of the opportunities that I have been given to serve, and for all of the wonderful musicians with whom I serve.
Highlights of the past two months:
– Going strong with my weekly Morning Musings broadcast (I’ve now created 116 of them since August ’20!);
– Visiting my Mom (near Ottawa, Ontario) for Canadian Thanksgiving, serving a local retirement home there, and also spending time with Carlyle Miller (an old and very dear friend);
– Performing an all-Beatles show at Unity of Vancouver with my talented friends Tom Arntzen, Tim Porter and Randall Stoll;
– Performing as part of a group that does many tribute shows. (So far, I’ve been a part of their ABBA, Fleetwood Mac and Elvis tributes; they also have tributes for Buddy Holly and the [Dixie] Chicks.)
Coming up: the busy-ness continues! In December, I have 24 musical events:
4 “Morning Musings” broadcasts
4 Church services (1 virtual, and 3 “hybrid” [virtual and in person)
7 Christmas caroling performances (some inside, some outside [BRRR!])
5 Retirement residences
4 tribute shows (2 Fleetwood Mac, 2 ABBA).
(For more detailed information on any of my performances, please click on any date in my online calendar.)
In September, I shared an original chant with you called “In This Space” – an invitation for all of us to welcome, create and bless space in our lives. (How did you do with that?) This month, my offering is an original chant called “To Touch Someone With Kindness” – about the power that there is in us touching others with kindness.
Here are the words:
1. To touch someone – with kind-ness
Is to change – someone – forever
2. Because for everyone you touch – you’ll reach everyone they’ll know
And everyone they’ll know – and everyone they’ll know
3. So for the rest of time – your kindness will be felt
In waves – that will spread
The chant begins at 7:39 in this month’s video (above). May it serve you well!
And, as always…

How about YOU, dear Friend? What’s most resonating in YOU this month? WHEREVER you are on your journey, I’d love to hear from you! Please e-mail me; we’re all in this together, and we have much to learn from each other. (THANKS for being a part of my journey – I’m honoured to walk with you – and SPECIAL THANKS to all of the kind souls who respond to my newsletters; reading your comments is always a highlight of my month.)

As a very dear and wise friend in Montreal once said to me, “All I can offer you is my experience”.
My sincere desire, in every one of my newsletters, is to encourage us all to live our Big Lives one Small Step at a time.
Much love to you, dear Friend.

Go with Love,
