Closer To Thee
I discovered a CD today called Grace by Snatam Kaur while working at the bookstore. Or maybe it discovered me? She sings the Sikh devotional music, Kirtan and I am totally blown away! I digest a lot of music and not many things have this kind of effect on me. I have been listening to it all day while driving around and it brings me closer to God. The pure love and joy put into these recordings sinks deep into your soul. It keeps you in such a high place that you will feel the effects and stay in a loving mind-state after enjoying it. I'm sure this won't be my last CD of hers.
Thank you Snatam for the beautiful gifts you give us.
Check her out!

Updates - Flying Solo (NOT so low)
Hey amigos!
I am having a great Wednesday here as the beats keep rolling...
I got my CT Scan done today in Round Rock. My doc will get the results tomorrow. Not sure when they will trickle down my way. I have an appointment to see my doc on October 5th. Hopefully I will know before then.
On Sunday, I did my first wedding by myself with no MC to run the mic. My voice wasn't great, but sufficient to get it done.
Kris Brown has been here for the last two days doing overdubs on the Iginga album project. It's coming along nicely.
I have been able to eat a bit here and there. Lo-mein with tofu seems to go down pretty easily and it is tasty!
Gotta get back to my laundry.
Love to all of you !!!!!

I trained today with Barry at the bookstore and it was great. We had some great reasoning and I picked up on things pretty quick. We have great things for gifts: cards, awesome books and CDs and lots of cool stuff. I will be here on Thursdays and my first day will be this Thursday from 10a-2p. Come by and see me and say hello and pick up something for those you love.

Big Weekend
This was a busy weekend for me! Almost like my normal life used to be...
Friday night, Anne and I went out to see Stephen Marley & Zap Mama at Emo's. Stephen Marley was as I had expected. Zap Mama, however, blew me away! They're from Belgium and they played so many styles of music with incredible female harmonies. From funk, hip-hop, reggae, rock, African music, latin and all very tightly executed.
Check them out: Zap Mama
Saturday night I did a wedding out in Buda at Kali-Kate with DJ Ted and it was great. Ceremony was flawless and Ted's humor on the mic really made for a nice evening.
Today was a huge day for me. Had a great morning at church. I volunteered to help out at Sacred Shelf, which is our awesome bookstore. I am excited to begin training and learn more about all the great books, CDs and things we sell, plus getting to know more of our members. I will be there on Thursdays from 10-2pm.
I went out with some friends to Mongolian BBQ and I got a plate of food and was able to eat about half of it. It was so tasty! Onions, tofu, veggies, and even iced tea!
After that I went home and took a nap and then went to see Anne & Kalaiah. We hung out and Anne cooked a real nice meal with an awesome smokey seitan that was tasty! She also made a soup which I had two bowls of. Very tasty!
Interesting that my sense of smell has become much more sensitive since I've gone through this. Food is tasting great and I am truly savoring it.

A Month Later - Feeling Good
It has been 4 weeks today since I finished my radiation treatments at Tx Oncology. I felt great today and got out and enjoyed the sunshine.
I am still not eating solid food yet and I miss it so much. I did eat half a Pringle this week! I also gained almost 5 pounds back so I am celebrating that. I have not been able to talk much this week due to my tongue being so tore up still. I could go on and on and I won't. Just know that I am healing in God's time and I just have to be patient and I am.
One way I have been enduring is by watching lots of movies. A friend turned me on to Trusted Opinion, where you can join and see what movies I have been watching and rate your own too. It's a social network kinda site and it's also tied in to Netflix for those of you doing that.
Have a good day!

A Prayer
"Dear God,
What would You have me do today?
I am listening in the silence of meditation.
How can I help the world?
I accept the inheritance You have offered me.
I accept the tasks that are mine to do.
Work through me that all might be filled with love and joy.
Now is the time for love and I am willing.
Thank You. Amen "

Doctor Says...
No more chemo!!!!
I went to see him yesterday and he says I am doing better than he expected. Went out to eat last night and it was hard for me to eat. My tongue is torn up and I think since I have been speaking again that maybe the sharp edges of my teeth are contributing to it. Just a theory of course.
Watched Monster last night and the acting was incredible!
Excited about starting a new recording project today.
