Living the single life for some time, I have grown accustomed to adventure. It’s easy to get away and do my thing (music and socializing) with only myself to answer to.
Now it was not easy for me at first, in fact there was a time it was rather frightening.
Being a woman and going out to different locals and getting on stages and such, driving through unknown canyons and corridors without a co-pilot felt nerve racking in the beginning.... but through facing my fears and “just doing it” choosing to live in the moment, celebrating the now and today..I have found my freedom and joy in living this adventure filled life -
This week I am visiting Sedona Arizona. I have the great blessing of staying in a lovely timeshare which is not unlike an apartment with a full kitchen and bath...laundry room and just about everything I would need to be comfortable away from home.
First thing I do if I haven’t already landed a booking before arriving is to scope out the music scene. I search for talented artists to go see and places to perhaps play and perform. My latest thrill is to bring my video camera everywhere with me so I can record the talent (and myself) whenever there is an opportunity.
Last night I had the awesome experience of performing at THE SPIRIT ROOM in Jerome, AZ.
It was my first time visiting this venue and WOW it was such a cool place!

The folks were so free in their spirit and integrated in friendship and love with one another- Some of the audience were locals, and some were visiting from other places, just checking out the amazing town of Jerome. Jerome is an adorable old western town that sits up on a cliff with the buildings built on this wall of land (hill). This was an open mic night and the talent was tremendous!
I was blessed to meet all these awesome artists doing their thing in Jerome!
This is an outstanding venue for live music and the stage was really sweet.
The host D.L. Harrison was not only talented but kind, warm and professional.

I was able to capture some awesome video too, so stay tuned,
I look forward to posting the vids upon my return home to the Silicon Valley.

Today I shall visit Montezuma’s Castle.
The Native American culture here is amazing and I am learning much more about the Native people of the area.

Before I headed to Jerome last night I had the awesome opportunity to experience the Native Flute performer Wolfs Robe aka Flute Man of Sedona.
He gave a wonderful time travel educational experience of the Native Flute with it’s beginnings and evolution through the ages. He played the flute with such feeling and passion. Feeling every note. He is truly a “Song Carrier” with a new CD you might want to check out called “Ancient Dreams”. His website is http://www.akaflutemanent.com
There is so much truth to the expression, “Time flies when you are having fun!”
My time here is limited, so I must go now and explore-
Until we meet again...
Much love and adventure to all!
xxxxoooo
