My first original song release for 2022 - Far Star, my new single with my Shades Music Project.   Praying for a pro quality video camera, putting it out to the universe, I really want to share live music and musings....   Still haven't shared my patreon account directly, had it sitting there for years, finally finished it a year ago, and haven't bought myself to be brave enough to really directly share it,  hmmmmmm, maybe soon I'll have the courage!!

July 4th, Independence day, has a new meaning for me now, especially if I can pull off the plan in entirety.  I began a years break from Alcohol on the July 4th, 2021, Independence day indeed.  I've also committed to a years break from any sugary treat, no cookies, cakes.  I have a small amount of panela or honey with my tea and coffee but am currently tackling that too by including a little stevia, and less than normal of the panela / honey.  I am trying to slowly increase the stevia, decrease the panela / honey, until such point that I am only using stevia.  Wow, I'm excited, a little apprehensive, but mostly excited.

Why?  Because my body needs a break from Alcohol and Sugar.  My health has been paying a price for the consumption of both of these two toxins.  They have been very enjoyable, and this break will not be easy, but I am prioritizing my health, over the enjoyment of these substances.  Next up, highly processed breads!  Wish me luck, love and prayers!!

A date to remember, a date that I wish
To remember in a year as I re-ponder this,
The hope here burns eternal, I hope my soul is transcending 
All the constant new beggings due to yesterday's sad endings
