Mark Diamond -- an up and coming "gem"...

Mark Diamond, Baritone

 
If you have never heard of this young man, you will soon. Mark Diamond is the nephew to my sister and brother-in-law and is an up and coming baritone soloist. What a powerful voice! I am typically not a huge fan of opera, but when he comes to the Houston Grand Opera to perform this fall I will be there!

Did you know that up to 95% of physical health issues are a direct result of your thought life?

In the following video and transcript, neuroscientist Dr. Caroline Leaf explains to Sid Roth from "It's Supernatural" how our minds are wired for love.This is what they have found in the laboratory. When we think a bad thought, when we make bad choices and we hang on to anything that is negative: anger, abuse, irritation, frustration, all the negative sides of emotions, a physical change occurs in your brain which hijacks the way in which our brains are actually wired.

Garden Mirrors Life

I finally broke down and bought me some posies!  I am SO ready to start digging in the dirt and getting these babies in the GROUND!










I have never planted zinnias before, but my plant Buddy, Rebecca, had some in her garden last year and I was falling all over myself just looking at them.  I love the color, and if you know me, you know that I am a chick who LOVES COLOR.  NO TAUPE FOR ME!

(I have to apologize to Rebecca -- I actually "cheated" on her -- I went out and bought plants without telling her or inviting her to go...now I will have to go grovel...

But, I'll get over that pretty quick...)

Summertime -- from my Demo

This song on my jazz demo, "Summertime", is a song I practiced with J-GQ as a captive audience when he was a baby. I was singing with a big band at the time, and needed to practice in front of someone for the best practicing affect.  He was the only one home with me during the day..





I love the guitar solo on this by my buddy Ed. I recorded it at was recorded in New Orleans at Word of Mouth Studio.

Korean Barbeque (Bulgogi) (You will want to eat this everyday!)

OK.  So I have the greatest Boyfriend in the world.  I'm so glad I married him.  Of course, he said he married me because he felt sorry for me and felt that I was an experiment.  That's okay.  I tell him that I was so desperate and he was there at the right time.

But, truly, after dinners like last night, I am SURE I got me just the right personal husband.  He made me some oh so fabulously ridiculously nummy, "goodlicious" (as J-GQ used to say) BULGOGI, (Korean BBQ).  His mom used to make this for his family when he was small (she was Korean) and he has passed it down to our family.  I'm pretty sure J-GQ will continue the tradition...


Are you ready?  HERE GOES!!  (And it's SOOO easy!)...

Chick-en Verde

This nummy, easy meal is one of My Boyfriend's favorites. It can also be made with pork, but I am a chick-en chick. Cluck cluck. But don't call me chicken.

This is a one pot meal (well, two, if you count making the rice). So, I guess it is a two-pot meal, but still. It's easy...

The JoDog Therapy

Everyone should have their own personal JoDog.  Honestly, I never really liked dogs before we got ours.  But, when I realized that when I saw a baby and I actually wanted to hold it, I realized it was time for me to get a dog (because I certainly wasn't going to have another baby, as MUCH as I love and adore my son and would go through it all over again to have him).  So, we got a beagle.

If anyone has a beagle, maybe they can relate to how great these dogs can be.  My son wanted to name the dog "Dave" even though it is a girl dog.   But he then decided that that was too masculine, so he named her "Jo".  Go figure.  Still confuses people.  They still call her "he".  And, since you can't shorten "Jo", we've lengthened it and call her "JoDog".  There are plenty of other things we call her, too...

This morning, Amsterdam; Tomorrow, Wales

I'm in Amsterdam right now. I'm sitting at the edge of the canal, enjoying the wonderful old buildings and the houseboats everywhere.  Some are actually ships, some are what are called "arks".  This bustling city is the largest in the Netherlands and boasts about 1.2 million people.  Bikes are everywhere.  There are more bikes than cars.  And, it's about 37 degrees.  Perfect for my cup of Joe....
