Life is so good today!

As I sit here reflecting on my new life since radio I am so amazed at how far I've come.   TRULY AMAZING!   I have peace.....I am happy!  And it has nothing to do with my career or what I do to make money.    I thought about radio my entire life...my show......the dynamics at the radio station and on and on.  Typical thought preoccupation with career and job.   When that was taken from me I had NO clue who I was or what I wanted to do really.   I'd been DJ JYL for 30+ years.  It was my identity......who I was.  
    I  knew I was ready to discover a new part of myself when i went back to work for CBS for a brief minute.    It was just time for a change.  That cool change so to "sing"!
      I wish I liked to write more......but actually I've found creating art is what I truly love to do.
Blogging is good.....but I never seem to stick with it.
Where as fortunately with my art I have for going on 4 years this October.   Feel very grateful about this too!   I have 2 shows coming up in September and 1 in October.   Mostly, I keep creating.   Haven't really started marketing.   That's all still to come.

      Next week Brett and I are going kayaking and camping in the San Juan Islands.   Where 3 pods of wild orca live.   Pods J, K and L.  The Southern Residents they are called.    Of course I will learn so much more about them once we get there.  I LOVE WHALES AND DOLPHINS and seeing them in the wild is unlike anything else.   They are such amazing creatures.    Intelligent, social, playful.....describing how they make me feel is beyond words.
    I want all orcas out of captivity and I want dolphins out of the entertainment scene too!
So ..... Taking Eco trips helps support people who can help keep these cetaceans safe.   It helps...  SO MUCH needs to be done.   I think about this so much.

Next month,    The Congo is where I'm off to visit ......

the Western Lowland Gorilla's.   Of course hoping to see a lot of other wild life too!     Again......an Eco trip.  Very small group.   Hopefully us visiting them will help protect their forests and land.   I believe it does.    Going to WHERE they live......rather than seeing them in a zoo!   WE all deserve to live freely.

Anything but destroying their land and poaching!   Ugh.  People do some awful things to innocent creatures.    Breaks my heart.  They are so HELPLESS!

This is not a blog about changing people......That I can not do.     I can only change myself and live my life in the best way possible to help make our planet and those who live on it safe and able to live out their own lives with their own species.

My art is often about the love I feel for all animals and nature.
Nothing brings me closer to God than they do.
