As a 50 year old mother of 3 kids that has lost 100 pounds while redirecting my commercial music business in early 2001 to include composing music for the health & fitness communities, I feel that one is never too late to go for any goal.
In this time of economic uncertainty, most people... experts.... masters of any trade are being tested. Being able to make a left hand turn at middle age is becoming more and more common. Going for a career that might have been compromised for any reason during life is no longer unusual.
They say 50 is the new 40. Yes... I agree. With good health and medical attention 50 years old can be the start of your life with you being only half way there.
We all have talents... maybe still untapped. I say GO For It!
Here is a bit of Musical Health motivation to get you going in mind and spirit. Walk... run.. or do any cardio activity you might choose. Even if you are sitting in a chair I urge you to inhale and exhale to the beat to experience Musical Health.
Enjoy and as always...
Never Stop Movin'!

Say the words still "Unspoken w/Musical Health
How many of us go through our days feeling like the weight of the world is on our shoulders? Doesn't matter what age, what stage of life... we often feel like nothing we do may ever really count or amount to anything. Why continue to dream or have goals when everyday we put on the news to hear about more disasters or the futility of our own purpose. Simple. Keep it simple. Maybe that is all it is.
Hear that inner voice, you know, the one that speaks to you in the back of your head. Breath... take that breath of life... movement... maybe the "Unspoken" words that make up our own feelings are enough. Listen to those feelings. They have no IQ, they are your feelings...valid!
Surrender to them and validate "you!"
Do not leave "you!". Take a deep breath... inhale through your nose... exhale through your mouth. Keep breathing. Drop those shoulders and lengthen your spine..... relax.... and find peace in your own words that may be and remain forever "Unspoken!"

Don't Quit!... you're gonna get it!
"Life is crazy.. lots to go through.. I know the truth now, let me tell you!" After living for "half a century", as my three kids so gently put it, I have had to balance all the ingredients that we refer to as having it all in the American Dream. Family... career.... marriage... oh yes... and of course staying on a path of healthy life style living. Easier said than done. Too often do I end the day with a feeling of lack of accomplishment, feeling paralyzed and unable to see how things will get better. Oh, I do that inner dialogue of telling myself that I am doing great! After all, I am a mom, a wife, I have lost 100 pounds! Wow! all good stuff. However, I do fall off the wagon putting back on those 15 pounds that on my 5 foot 3 inch frame feels like a ton! "Get on that treadmill girl and give me 3 miles... drop on that floor and give me 100 crunches"... EEEEK!!! "try not to pop those cookies in your mouth as you pass the jar on the counter and certainly portion out that glass of wine that you have become aware of having as the late afternoon arrives.
As a singer/songwriter and musician who has spent the last decade writing music aimed at the fitness community, the thought of lyric motivation in addition to a beat is the musical marriage that I hope has reached many of you. Like you I too struggle with the everyday battle that has most of us uncertain about our futures. Career blocks with feelings that I might never achieve goals set out for since childhood. Here is a bit of advice. Here is a lyric to ponder.... "Don't Quit! you're gonna get it... got to be in it to win it... you're the best don't you forget it... Don't Quit no, no!"
Check out the link below.... at a tempo of 100 beats per minute it is a perfect pace to work out to for your musical health... so... drop and give me twenty crunches while you listen! :)

Walk it Off at the Mall!
With the economy insecure and health issues on the rise, walking for entertainment has never been needed as much as it is right now. Why not? Why not make your physical fitness moments those that are not at a gym or on a treadmill but times that can also come with plenty of eye candy. How about the idea that on a cold or rainy day you may find yourself strutting to a beat complete with headphones on your head as you bop by your favorite windows. Maybe you just walked by a fabulous candle store complete with a yummy scent that screams..." light a candle when you get home and relax in a bath to a new oil lamp aroma."
Oh yes... our local Malls of America. Long and wide hallways dripping with fun. Distraction! Letting your imagination go wild as you walk on past those windows dressed up with stiletto heels or swish by those latest trend sneakers. Money is an issue at this time? That's ok! Walk faster by... burn more calories.... let that sweat drip off you as those strolling purchases become quick distant memories.
As a mom of 3 kids who has lost 100 pounds and continues to struggle with my 20 pounds up and down on my body as well as in my pocket book, I recommend Mall walking! Click the link below to listen as you walk to this song written and performed by me just for you! At a tempo of 134 beats per minute filled with a cheeky dance driven beat.... strut it out!... come on!... and let's all take... a Walk At The Mall!
Enjoy and as always...

Blog & Shake with My Philosophy!
What an incredible tool this social networking is! Whether it be soliciting potential clients, customers or merely connecting with people of similar interests and passions.... it's all about marketing oneself and one's personal ideas, isn't it?
So much of social networking has become a battle grounds of do and don'ts, rules and stopping that potential "spam" artist from rearing it's ugly head. The art of blogging and conditional giving on the internet is something to be mastered. After all, "what is one person's garbage is another one's fortune."
I say "it's all good!" Work for your goal using all the tools at hand. Being a 50 year old mother of 3 kids, learning how to maneuver around the internet and research, connect, this is what we have been taught to do since our early childhood education in the library with those wooden draws holding index cards. Oye!.... Researching, improving, achieving, right?
Shake it up! That's my philosophy! In both body & spirit. After you have worked your mind and powered those finger tips on a keyboard reaching out to those around you, take a few minutes to work that body for your own personal musical health. Stay in touch and reach out to YOU! You deserve it!
As a person who has lost 100 pounds, I write and sing this song for you to walk... run... or simply
"bop on out" right at your computer.
At at tempo of 132 beats per minute, click link below and come on Shake to My Philosophy!
Click here for my song "My Philosophy"
verse#1:
Keep this in mind
in time you're gonna find
come on and give a try
to My Philosophy
Take every single day
to find a better way
come on along and play
My Philosophy
Come on over
and open up yourself
let's start a fire
we're going to get there
high and higher
Chorus:
come on try it
don't deny it
come on Shake with My Philosophy
come on show it
don't you blow it
flying high with My Philosophy
verse#2:
come on and take the time
to have a real good time
and let me blow your mind
with My Philosophy
come on and live your life
no care or strife
that's right!
that's My Philosophy

Are You Ready To Seize the Day? .... "Carpe Diem!"
As a 50 year old working mother who has lost 100 pounds and has three children now ages 15, 17 & 22, I am now more than ever on a mission to promote the importance of education.
Musical "edutainment" is where I have been focusing my attention while writing, recording and producing Health & Fitness programming. Who does not want to be entertained? Aren't we more likely to focus in on a subject when it is presented to us in an entertaining fashion?
I recently wrote a song called "Carpe Diem" at a tempo of 162 beats per minute for cardio activities. Take a listen to it and do something good for your health as you listen. Walk, run or do any cardio activity you might choose. You can even simply just get up and walk in place right at your computer!... the lyric reads...
Chorus:
Come on are you ready to seize the day?
No matter what they say
getting it your own way
come on and take it now.
let me remind you
let go the chains that bind you
you're going to get there
come one let yourself go!
Making the most of your life and opening up your mind to new situations everyday. Seize every opportunity with a feeling of positiveness.
Stay well and as always...
Never Stop Movin'!
