Lila Downs - Humito de Copal / Spoken Words (Concierto en Vivo)

In San Miguel I was able to buy some copal incense and I remembered this song by Lila which rocks. I love to burn incense out in the patio--it's like creating my sacred space and frees my mind and spirit where palabras/words tienen alas/wings and go up in smoke/humito y son mensajes/messages de viento/wind... las palabras que son el testimonio...

San Miguel de Allende 2016

Celebrating the new year with a couple hundred of my closest friends!  What a blast!  My thanks to Mer & C.C. for the experience en la patria!    Update: 1/20/16 -just saw this amazing drone footage!  We were on the steps of the church de San Miguel. 

Celebrating a la Mexicana

Let the New Year begin celebrating from beautiful San Miguel de Allende! 

Encantada

De estar en San Miguel de Allende

Pepe Aguilar feat. Natalia Lafourcade - Miedo - Letra

Cannot get enough of this man and his music--one of the sexiest voices out there y como lo canta en Espanol!  Es puro Mexicano!!

Lessons learned

I stopped searching for my soulmate years ago and decided to start living my life. Sometimes lessons learned can be a hard pill to swallow but better to experience such than to be fooled by a soulmate my mind imagined.

2015/Stay thirsty, my friends!

Amen to this! Sadly some very close people moved and some passed on from this life and others it past time to let go! 

I am thankful for new old friends/my Chino-Latino chicas -best travel buds.  Looking forward to our planned adventures for 2016 and the search for the most interesting man in the world! ;-)

Happy Birthday Frank!

Here he's singing one of his favorite songs and definitely one of mine from my favorite Beatles-George Harrison.

On a side note: All is right with the world after my glorious massage today!  A two month gap is too long a time in between!!

A Sweet Persimmon (December 8th)

Just had to give this song another listen before the day was over.

A sweet persimmon
A sweet song
A sweet cd, Winter Rose: Music 4 th holidays
A sweet artist: Ottmar Liebert
A sweet tribute to December 8th, Bodhi day, the day marking the enlightenment of the Buddha.

Tomorrow and the day after as the temps start to warm, Le Cafe (Dream of Snow)

Evolutionary/revolutionary

"Not just evolutionary but revolutionary!"

Sono Grata

Even though I was sick with a nasty cold today...

Drink You Away - CMA's 2015

This is STILL one of the best collaborations of music ever heard!  The audience knew they were witnessing something special.

I've tried Jack, I've tried gin, I've tried Jim, I've tried all of his friends...

The other song these two played at the CMA's was also brillant and another song I can't get enough of...

                  Tennesee Whiskey

and I find myself wanting to pour a fine glass of smooth Tennesee Whiskey.  Well tonight it was 2 rounds of Ashai.

Sans regrets

Adele - Hello

FINALLY! After a three year wait!  The voice on this woman is beyond phenonmenal.  Beyonce could not hold a candle to Adele!!

All Hail the Queen!

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger!!

Sanctuary

another late sleepless night filled with anxiety but finding sanctuary in beautiful music such as this.  I could listen to such music for hours.  I picture looking out a window out in a forest and seeing thousands of stars glittering in the night sky and imagining a cosmos where music like this is heard.

Later this morning another trek to Katy for a life changing event--just please God don't let me see the tears in her eyes and if I do remind me to close my eyes and find sanctuary to hold me up in the coming weeks.

Lo que no fue no sera - Pepe Aguilar

The birthday celebration continues and looking forward to seeing this Mexican crooner in concert tomorrow with my Latina chicas.  So love Youtube and all the videos that are helping me get acquainted with his many, many songs.  I remember as a kid going to see his mother and father perform and he made an appearance astride a beautiful white horse in his beautiful traje de charro.  I fell in love then!

#56

Another year has come and gone and my how they go by so fast.  Enjoyed spending the evening at Skyspace at Rice University.  Reminder to go back!!  Just last year I was in Ohio at the county fair with a few of my closest friends! So missing the cooler temps up there and SICK of this heat!!  

On a sad note, I missed my yearly phone call from my sweet Kenneth.  I still can't believe you're gone.  53 is too damn young!!  Perhaps you were here climbing the stairs back up into the skyspace.  I hope you're finally at peace.

Welcome October...

... my favorite month of the year when fall looms, leaves fall and trees are stripped bear along with exotic blooms of night blooming jasmine abound in the night and the sweet shrill of an owl are heard in the darkness. Football is king but the boys of baseball come out to play for a championship.

One of my all time favorite bands, U2 has a beautiful album called October and below is a video from the titled song along with my other fav from the band.  I fell in love with U2 after seeing them on video performing at Red Rocks and OMG, I was mesermized by Bono!  He is the sexiest man alive but the piano introduction from the Edge is beautiful.
