I had so much fun doing the Live More Lightly Workshop at Vancouver Community College! Many thanks to staff and student assistants who were very supportive. I was able to give away a handout of an excerpt from my upcoming book, the “Live More Lightly Songbook and Workshop Guide”. The book contains a chapter giving [...]
Last year I was so excited to be going to Bellingham, USA for the Watcom County International Women’s Day Celebration. Womens_Day_Song08 This truly was an International Women’s Day for me! One of the best parts was marching through the streets chanting. In Vancouver, I had always had to be setting up and getting ready for [...]

After all of my painstaking research I went and bought the new kid on the block, the new Hitachi Blu-ray DZ-BD7H high definition video camera.
