What a great way to begin my morning. I’ve been a Bernie Siegel fan for 30 years, but hadn’t thot the name in some time. Neat to think of great minds in same room. Had just said to my daughter recently..:Where do ‘Helpers’ go for help!! “Shrinks’ (sorry), ministers, those that we go to for help…where do they go!!
Today, 7 weeks of feeling like I have a giant handcuff around my neck 24/7, struggling with frustration, then almost anger at me for not feeling more grateful for even surviving,today I head for your music. Does it make any sense that it makes me feel better to know you were in that class room?
I couldn’t afford the bill for all the hours I’ve spent with your music, for all the healing, for the ‘mind balm’ you are….I’ll just ‘owe’ you! And I ask God to bless you richly, way beyond your heart’s desires.
Know this: I keep you close in heart, on my prayer list, share you with my fb family (even take you to blip, giving out the link and song# they should go to).
Asking God to keep you hungry enough to keep pouring out your gifts, rich enough to pay the bills! …….your champion, friend, follower…flo

I’m fascinated by the diverse range of views and opinions. Who’s your “go to” guy?

Thanks for sharing this experience Mark. Just reading what you wrote feels soothing. Your music is soothing.

I have my own set of struggles with my life. I heard someone say recently that to be happy one must have harmony. Well, sometimes the people closest to me in my life challenge my harmony. That’s when I resort to music. I sing along and just forget those unharmonious people!

You are doing the right thing. I am so grateful for you and your music.

Today I stopped at a park I’ve been meaning to explore for 9 years, and took a walk. Saw an inspiring couple I know there, just before I finished my walk.

I also got up the nerve to walk into Curves and look around and ask questions. Been meaning to do that for year, also. If I’m feeling really brave tomorrow, I’ll make an appointment for a massage.

Hi Mark – your thoughts really resonated with me. I too am a singer/songwriter and get my joy from writing songs, singing them and recording them. I feel that my mission in life is write songs and bring them into the world so I can help to heal people. Pretty much the same mission as you! I get very frustrated with the fact that I can’t make money doing it. I feel like that threatens my very existence because it threatens me doing the very things I love, it threatens one of the main purposes of my life. I work alone for the most part and it’s hard to keep pulling yourself up by the bootstraps and keep on “swinging the axe!” I haven’t given up by any means, but it certainly takes a hell of alot of will, hope, etc. Thanks!
