It had been a long time
since I spent a full day immersed in music.
An hour here and there is nice, but not fulfilling.
In December I played two gigs on one day,
a luncheon holiday party and then my annual Jazz Party for the Homeless,
raising money for Path Ventures

In between the two gigs I gave myself time
to focus, practice piano and get organized.
This was a gift to myself
a wonderful gift
the result of preparation, persistence and passion.
And the answer to
what I am grateful for today.
Today I am living in gratitude.
This daily journal came from a promise. Right before Memorial Day 2009, I met with my business coach Joe Stumpf. I shared with him my total burn out in my business of 20 years. Frustrated by what my life had become, I promised to get up at 5:00 AM every day, meditate and journal and focus on bringing passion back into every aspect of my life, my work, my family and my personal growth. Instead of going to work every day and having a PITY PARTY, I have decided to have a PASSION PARTY.
