I can think of no better way to bring in the holiday spirit than with music. Except maybe cookies.  Recently over breakfast a friend told me that he believed music was a gift from the universe. I think he might be right.  As my gift to you is this free download of “Snow” performed  by the von Trapp children — the great grand children of Captain von Trapp, father of the famous singing family whose story captivated the world in the musical The Sound of Music.

Blogging is an excellent marketing tool for any profession but especially for massage therapists who’s business it is to touch and connect with people in a personal and personable way. If maintained on a regular schedule a blog can help you stay in touch to your clientele and remind them about what you have to offer.

I created a massage therapy theme for Blogger based on a template by OurBlogTemplates to help professional bodyworkers sustain their practice during today’s challenging economic conditions.  You can download the XML code and see a live demo by clicking here or on the image above.

Terms of Use: Since I did not actually design the template or take the photos, it very important that the credits must remain intact both at the bottom of this template and within the XML code. This is not just fair but also very smart because OurBlogTemplates may change the code and so you need to be able to reference them for any updates. It also required by them for using their template for free.

I encourage you to become inspired to design your own custom Blogger theme using the same tools I have. Since I’m not skilled in web design or coding I am unable to offer support if you have any issues from using this template. I advise you to do-it-yourself with OurBlogDesign’s tutorial links I’ve provided above.

In this quick interview (as recorded on my iPhone) I asked Tim Westergren, the founder of Pandora, what five albums he would take with him to a desert island.

Yesterday I attended the symposium “Tesla: Visions + Inspirations” at the UCLA Art|Sci Center. Following the symposium, Martin Simon gave a demonstration of the shrinking of a coin as recorded here.

Illinois Sen. and presidential candidate Barack Obama campaigned in Los Angeles yesterday and I went to check it out. While I was there, I made this recording of the speech he gave.

This episode offers four fabulous gifting ideas to offset the message of “buy! buy! buy!” so ingrained in our consumer culture, and to help focus instead on the holiday spirit of generosity and taking care of the body, mind and soul of you, your family, your friends, even heaven and earth!

Enjoy a podcast I did with my friend and yoga instructor Elsie Escobar. Here she discusses the beginnings of her yoga practice, how she came to be an instructor and her belief that the path of yoga is the artist’s way.

Hello friends!

It’s so very exciting to use emerging technology to connect with you! By that I mean that I am switching over to blogging and abandoning my quarterly on-line newsletter that was first launched on my old website in 1999. Last year I started a little blog that was hosted through Earthlink (my ISP). Unfortunately I lost the blog when I switched service providers so here I am starting over.

I didn’t really know what I was doing when I launched my first blog. I talked about massage, I posted some recipes and occasionally wrote about things as if it were a public diary.  I think most people new to the blogosphere don’t know what they’re doing either so I don’t feel too bad. I think this whole Web 2.0 thing is just one big experiment really and so we all fumble as we find our voice and create our digital identity here on the Web.

I really hope you enjoy these new blog posts. But if you want to see past articles from my old newsletter they are now archived at my former website here. It was designed by the great folks at Kapow.

In addition to blogging, I’m teaching myself how to produce podcasts. Let me just say: this is quite a challenge! It’s one thing to write a little bit about what you know but it’s quite another to write, record, edit and mix everything down into something listenable and informational. Having said that, this is my premiere episode. Here I share the benefits of massage therapy and explain how it works and why. I also give tips on what to look for when seeking the services of a qualified massage therapist.

Let me know what you think.
