Below you'll find a few of my favorite things, and if you happen to be in the market for your own new favorite thing from this page, you will be getting something you want and supporting my work. How cool is that? Some call it affiliate marketing. I like to think of it as karmic ripples of abundance fertilizing the divine goddess sphere.

How to Rule the World from Your Couch
I've studied intuition with Laura Day at Esalen - she is so generous and I'm hoping to return the abundance with a plug for her brand new spanking book. It's her first practical guide to using intuitive skills as a healing force in your life and for others. Check it OUT. Her other books too... The Circle is part of my daily practice.

Sweet Honey In the Rock
I evangelize this amazing group of singing women regularly in my classes. Founding member Ysaye Barnwell has been a primary influence in my teaching. I think you'll find their repertoire provides an endless supply of sing-along material and will be an essential addition to your music library.

Amon Tobin - Foley Room
This one is for the electronic-music-inclined. I think he's a genius. I sit in the dark and crank up At the End of the Day and it makes my skin spin and heart fly.

Akiane: Her Life, Her Art, Her Poetry
Akiane is a child prodigy painter and poet who has influenced me artistically and spiritually.

"When your staring looks back at you, start taking yourself seriously."
Akiane, age 11

New Chapter Vitamins
Good vitamins are worth it.

Shazam
Reason 862 why I love my iPhone. The "name this tune" app I never knew I was missing, and now I can't live without.

Track 10 of this CD by Silvio Rodriquez
The whole CD is fantastic, but I put track 10 on repeat for like an hour. And I don't even know what he's saying.

Teapots
The satisfaction in not settling for the fast way is delicious.

Ceramic Neti Pot
OK singers. This will change your life.

If you haven't used a Neti before, it takes a little getting used to. I use bottled spring water (never tap) and hold the salt till you've got the hang of it.

Alanis Morissette's Latest Album
Rocks.

A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose
I've listened to the audio book about seven times. The Power of Now  is always nearby too.

Cheri Huber
One of my greatest teachers. I own and recommend all her books.

Pandora Radio
The cure to music collection boredom: you can build and play your own custom, free radio stations online based on stuff you already like.

Rumi
The permanent fixture of my nightstand.

 

I want to sing like the bird sings, not worrying who listens or what they think. - Jelaludding Rumi
