WORLD MUSIC...I CAN'T GET ENOUGH

I've been exploring much music from different cultures...this boy is so special. And his father is so sweet, singing along behind the scenes.

Last night's "Heaven" gaga at Union Station was incredible. I performed a song to start the party off, saw many friends, and danced the night away to amazing DJ sets. Everyone looked STUNNING...check out all the photos!

UNDER THE RESTLESS SKIES of LONDON

2011-12-28T15:08:00.000-08:00

My inner thoughts are beginning to have a British accent...time to come back to the States.

lll

I first went to Portobello Road Market. I've had this vision of this magical place my whole life from the film "Bedknobs and Broomsticks"...in which the family flies their magical bed to this hidden gypsy market down a dark alley to retrieve a spell book. I believe the lyric is "Anything and everything a chap can unload..." and I bought everything they were unloading.

If you ever go, you must try this incredible little cafe, hidden just off the road...it's called "Charlie's" (link below). I had chicken celery soup, and coffee...just in case you were wondering. Oh yes, and words with the very cute waiter. This damn accent makes everyone appealing.

After staying WAY too long, I limped to the edge of the Thames River, to The Tower of London. I spent um, ABSOLUTELY ALL DAY there. I have attempted to get in several times before, first discovering it when I toured the UK years ago. I never had the time to get in, but today I was determined to brave the crowds.After standing in line for an hour, getting trampled on by an overly excited/spoiled Italian redheaded kid, I was granted access to this 1,000 year old fortress. I proceeded to get ABSOLUTELY LOST in the history of it. Everyone around me faded away, I literally do not remember any people at all...and when it was over, I had to take a while and get back into myself.

I was face to face with the Crown Jewels Collection...the jewels of the royal family dating back to the 1400s. I climbed winding staircases, so small you had to trudgesingle file...to enter rooms at the top where imprisoned traitors and (innocents alike) carved their names and stories into the stone walls as they awaited their executions. I sat alone in the bedchamber, in which the rulers as far back as the thirteenth century slept. I stood on the spot where Anne Boleyn was beheaded (and many others)...and stared across the grass to the room where she spent both her wedding coronation night, AND the night before her execution only THREE years later. There is a great deal you realize about life when you're staring up at an ancient building like that...

By now it was dark and freezing, and I walked across The Tower Bridge as I headed to The Old Vic for the comedy "Noises Off". I stepped into a very fancy place across the street, and had the most delicious tortellini with prawns. I enjoyed a heaping basket of bread and olives, to find out later they charged an extra two pounds for it...so I emptied what was left into my pockets and hurried out. (You think I'd really do that?). I must say, I've had my fill of taking myself out on dates for QUITE a while.

The show was hilarious, and I was incredibly overcome with emotion at being where my favourite actors carved their careers. Photos line the lobby of Richard Burton, Lawrence Olivier, Vivien Leigh and Claire Bloom on the VERY stage I was seeing. If that won't bring you to your knees out of gratitude for your chosen work, nothing will.

I ended the night by telling an Englishman at the bar that Brits SUCK at coffee...and he told me "We do tea, YOU do coffee...and you can't do tea for SHIT". I gave him that, and came home to make a cup of tea.

LOVE AFFAIR WITH LONDON

2011-12-27T15:10:00.000-08:00

I wore myself out around London today. I was sad to leave my family in the countryside, but determined to get in and go to my places. I decided on this trip not to take any pictures. I usually document everything, and I miss the experience in the moment because I am too focused on capturing it to share later. SO, not one real picture from my adventures today.

I came into London on the train, and after quickly dropping my bags at a friend's flat, I went straight to "Fortnum & Mason" tea sellers, the most luxurious in the world...and of course they supply the Queen. The store was recommended to me by my acting teacher Gloria Gifford, a woman who LOVES beauty above all...and this place was HEAVEN...four floors of specialty teas, porcelain, crystal and sweets.

I spent all my day's money, and I'm going back tomorrow...I need a few more things.

lll

I then made it over to Trafalgar Square, to "St. Martin in the Fields" church to see Romanian pianist VICTOR NICOARA give a concert. He was fantastic, and younger than me!

lll

Then I walked along the Thames River for hours, and ended up at The National Theatre to see a play called "Grief"...also fantastic.

lll

And to top off my theatre date with...myself...I walked home across the huge bridge that overlooks The House of Parliament.

Another full day tomorrow, all recorded simply in my own memory. Toss our damn technology and try it.

THE UNFORGETTABLE BARBARA ORBISON

2011-12-13T20:46:00.000-08:00

I have not been able to write about this until now, as it is a big loss for myself, my family, and people all over the world. Barbara Orbison passed away on December 6th. Barbara was an intensely inspirational woman, and has done a great deal for me in my music and personal life. She has always taken full care of me in Nashville, TN...where I have penned most of my current songs with her writers. My song "So I Fall" I wrote with Liz Rose, the incredible writer she mentions in this video...Liz did in fact win the Grammy for Taylor this last year. Barbara came to many of my concerts, and included my Roy Orbison cover song on his tribute album. (available on iTunes...http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/not-alone-anymore/id312549518?i=312549752)

Aside from work, Barbara and I had many beautiful talks about very personal issues, and she was a great help to me in making sense of my own young mind. I know I am still not fully recovered from the pain of losing her this week, and so this post is rather short. But I wanted to share this video...a lesson to us all to DO EVERYTHING THAT'S IN OUR HEART...BECAUSE WE CAN.

THANKSGIVING

2011-11-25T00:03:00.000-08:00

"Be thankful that you don’t already have everything you desire, if you did, what would there be to look forward to? Be thankful when you don’t know something, for it gives you the opportunity to learn. Be thankful for the difficult times. During those times you grow. Be thankful for your limitations, because they give you opportunities for improvement. Be thankful for each new challenge, because it will build your strength and character. Be thankful for your mistakes. They will teach you valuable lessons. Be thankful when you’re tired and weary, because it means you’ve made a difference. It is easy to be thankful for the good things. A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are also thankful for the setbacks. GRATITUDE can turn a negative into a positive. Find a way to be thankful for your troubles and they can become your blessings."
— Unknown

They are not long, the days of wine and roses. Out of a misty dream our path emerges for awhile...then closes within a dream.

LATE NIGHT OBSESSION

2011-11-13T02:23:00.000-08:00

I could not be any more obsessed with this song tonight...

FALL FOR YOU w SECONDHAND SERENADE

2011-11-03T16:55:00.000-07:00

A few years ago, I was in the grocery store and heard this song playing...the original radio version. I stopped walking, and stood still, just listening with my mouth open. I thought it was the most beautiful song, and I had no idea who it was. Soon I heard it again on the radio, and found out it was John Vesely, of the band Secondhand Serenade.

At the time, I was working on MTV's "Rock The Cradle"...and we were able to choose our own song one week, to sing on the show. I knew I HAD to sing this song, so I tracked John down and called him on the phone. He had no idea who I was, and talked to me while he smoked a cigarette outside his tour bus. He agreed to my request, and I sang the song at the piano the next week on TV...for 1.3 million people.

Not long after that, I was in New York on tour, as was John. He invited me to come out to his studio and sing on the new acoustic release of the song...which is this version. SO from standing in the grocery store, to your ears now, this was an ironic journey.

Follow your instincts and go for what you want

MIRACLES in GRATITUDE

2011-11-03T11:13:00.000-07:00

The sun rises in the morning and sets at night not because of it's "nature" but because the Light of the Creator gives it energy to do so. Viewing nature as the manifestation of the Light of the Creator helps you see that miracles are not a departure from nature. Everything is a miracle.

EACH DAY, RECOGNIZE ONE THING YOU APPRECIATE IN LIFE. DARK THOUGHTS GET BLOWN OUT BY THE LIGHT OF ABUNDANCE AND GRATITUDE.

Love fully - tell the truth - take a risk - tell someone what they mean to you - tell someone what's been bothering you - blast your favorite song - create something - accept yourself

SHOPGIRL; On Love

2011-10-24T16:00:00.000-07:00

"Some nights alone, he thinks of her. And some nights alone, she thinks of him. Some nights these thoughts occur at the same moment, and they are connected without ever knowing it."

lllllll

"As he watches her walk away, he feels a loss. How is it possible, he thinks, to miss a woman whom he kept at a distance so that when she was gone, he would not miss her? Only then does he realize that wanting a part of her but not all of her had hurt them both. And now he cannot justify his actions, except that well, it was life."

-Shopgirl

FAREWELL STEVE JOBS

2011-10-05T18:38:00.000-07:00

"Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on."

-STEVE JOBS (1955-2011)

Material World Miracles

Thursday August 25, 2011

Miracles in the material world are preceded by miraculous changes in your own character because physical reality and human nature are intimately connected.

Creating extraordinary transformations within allows the universe to externally express this inner change.

Ignite the power of miracles today. Free yourself from selfishness, hatred and self-pity.
