DAN ZANES WOW!

Today Dylan and I had the pleasure of assisting Wensdy in a video interview with Dan Zanes. The show was at Rackham Hall in Ann Arbor. We were lucky enough to be given tix to the AWESOME show and then interview Dan and a couple of his band mates after. Dan talked about performing for families, making music and his Disney TV pilot. His answers were so thoughtful and if he isn't already sweet enough, Wensdy gave him some magic brownies from Zimmerman's. He seemed really happy to get them! You'll be able to see the interview on www.mydols.tv in a few days.

COOL HUH?

I have a couple of really cool projects this weekend. One is designing the cover for a new book by Teri Williams called Sisstory. I stayed up late last night to work on it, because today I am headed to Ann Arbor to tape an interview with Dan Zanes for www.mydols.tv.

I'll write more when I get home!

Last night I bought Donny Deutsch's new book, The Big Idea: How to Make Your Entrepreneurial Dreams Come True, from the AHA Moment to Your First Million.

It came out in December but I just heard about it. I was shocked to find out there is a whole page on the Mydols and me! I was a guest on his CNBC show and later he had the whole band on with Marianne Williamson which was a GREAT honor.

I come into play on page 45, in the chapter called "Make Love, Not Work". Under the subtitle "Living Loud" it reads:

"This one will blow you away. At age 42, Judy Davids made a career decision most girls make as teenagers. She decided to become a rock star. And that's not all. She had no training and didn't even know how to play an instrument! Yet over night Judy went from soccer mom to rocker mom."

It goes on to tell the story of the Mydols with such great writing that even I was inspired by us! There is a "The Big Lesson" sidebar that reads:

Be bold about following your dream. The marketplace responds to boldness.

Well needless to say I am gobsmacked to be in this book. What an honor. The page about the Mydols ends with a quote from ME! It says: "As long as you have passion and fun, and are constantly learning and evolving, you can do anything."

The book is $25.95 and is hard cover. Check it out next time you're at the book store!

CONFIRMATION RETREAT

I spent all day yesterday at St. Benedict's Monastery in Oxford at a retreat with a bunch of eighth graders. It was so beautiful. The church sits atop a hill and overlooks most of Oakland County.

The kids learned how to meditate and journal. They also celebrated the sacrament of reconciliation and then we all went to mass together. I don't want to write too much about it as it was very private--just a quiet day with God.

SIFE and ecostore USA

I've been really hyping ecostore USA products for weeks. I received a box of cleaning products to try and I loved them all. They work and they don't contain any nasty chemicals. It's a WIN WIN.

Well now it's a WIN WIN WIN, because if you buy one of their products at Walgreen's you help SIFE (Students in Free Enterprise).




Watch the video. Run out to Walgreen's. Buy something from ecostore USA.

Be good to the earth.

Be good to your body.

Be good to students across the world.

WIN! WIN! WIN!

CERTIFIABLY BUSY!

I am staying up late working on the website for the mockumentary "Certifiably Jonathan". I just created a YouTube Channel that includes the trailer and a few clips.

Last night I went to Gilda's Club. My sister organized a scrapbooking class there. I taped it. I'll post video of the cool projects soon.

Tomorrow I have a busy day that inculdes working on a few new websites and meeting with the cool peeps frm ecostore USA. We are planning a PAR-TAY!

Gotta go. The Prez is going to be on the Tonight Show!

THE GARDEN OF SOUL

I am reading Lynn Serafinn's "The Garden of the Soul". It is a big book with a big message. For me, the timing is so perfect.

These days I struggle to be organized. I have so much I want to accomplish and I find myself spinning in circles wondering God has in mind for me. What direction is right for me?

In my frazzled state, Lynn's writing is so calming. From "Lesson from the Rose".

I am strong

I am strong enough to know my limitations.

Strength, in part, is tolerance.

Pateince, the means to that tolerance.

To myself do I first owe that patience

For in truth--

the only person

with whom I shall spend all my days

is I.

That message is so powerful. As is everything I have read so far. I have my nose deep into it. And my heart deeper still. I am looking for answers in my life and I am finding them in the garden. And let me tell you the aroma is beautiful.

This book review is a part of a blog tour.
Yesterday, the book blog tour stopped at Heidi Richards Mooney Blog at WE Magazine for Women talks about the book and author.

And tomorrow it continues with Lola Fayemi. She interviews Lynn about her journey with finding her soul and self.
