Hello Everyone,
Diana Dorell was my guest for Live Your Music this week!

with Diana Dorell as my guest.
My friend Diana Dorell, and her co-author Maryellen Smith, have written a book titled The Dating Mirror: Trust Again, Love Again. Diana is also an intuitive coach who helps her clients release the past, trust their intuition, and feel free, adored and happy!
Diana enjoys helping women learn how to feel "magnetic" in their relationships and she says it all starts with the relationship you have with yourself.
During the show today we talked about Diana's book The Dating Mirror: Trust Again, Love Again. She would like you to know that on the release day, March 15, 2016, you'll be able to get the Kindle version of the book for free on Amazon!
If you prefer actual books, you can also order the softcover version of the book on Amazon. To order The Dating Mirror on Amazon, please click here.
As I told Diana during the show, I wish there had been a book like this one during my 20's. The book can help you tune into, and trust, your intuition. It can also help you get clear on what is most important to you in a relationship.
The book is designed for singles and is written mainly for women but, as we talked about during the show, it can also be helpful for men.
Everyone has intuition and the more we are aware of it the more we can use it to help us make choices.
Intuition is moment to moment. It's guidance from inside that tells you to be careful, to take your watch off before you clean out your office, it's the guidance that says to turn even though your car's GPS says to go the other way.
I've had moments where I have listened and taken action and been glad that I did and I've also had times when I heard my intuition say to do something and I decided it could wait. What I've learned from this is to listen and take action when my intuition says to take action!
If you, or someone you know, would like to know more about using your intuition for dating, you'll want to hear what Diana Dorell and her co-author Maryellen Smith have to say in their book The Dating Mirror: Trust Again, Love Again.

I feel lucky to have met Anita Moorjani in person, at a couple of Hay House I Can Do It conferences, when she spoke onstage with Dr. Wayne Dyer. Anita and her story remind us all of the importance of loving yourself like your life depends on it because, as she says, it does depend on it.

Hello Everyone,
Arielle Ford was my guest for Live Your Music this week! During the show she talked about soulmates and her inspiring and helpful new book Turn Your Mate Into Your Soulmate… A Practical Guide to Happily Ever After. I would love for you to hear what Arielle has to say about soulmates and how to have a great relationship with your mate. Her opinions are backed with a great deal of statistical research which brings credibility and inspiration to what she has to say about love and relationships.

Arielle Ford is a love and relationship expert, and has spent the past 25 years living and promoting consciousness through all forms of media. Arielle is also the author of ten books including the international bestseller, THE SOULMATE SECRET: Manifest The Love of Your Life With The Law of Attraction.
Arielle's new book, Turn Your Mate Into Your Soulmate, offers groundbreaking shifts in perceptions on how to transform your relationship to a deeper, more loving, and more fulfilling lifetime love.
Arielle has been called “The Cupid of Consciousness” and “The Fairy Godmother of Love.” She lives in La Jolla, CA with her husband/soulmate, Brian Hilliard and their feline friends.
During today's show we talked about Arielle's inspiring new book, Turn Your Mate Into Your Soulmate, which I truly believe is a practical guide to happily ever after. After having met Arielle and her husband Brian in person last year, and having them both on my show, I feel they are authentic, loving, and kind.
Following is the quote by John Gray, author of Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus, from the back of Arielle's new book, that I read during the show:
"Arielle Ford helps us move past the unrealistic expectations and myths about love, romance, and happily ever after. In their place she offers simple and immediate ways to breathe new life into old relationships and build bridges between the very different ways in which women and men see relationships."
I feel certain that Arielle Ford would tell you that her intent is to help her readers enjoy their relationship and have it described as "happily ever after." If you feel you'd like to feel more joy and connection in your current relationship, or to attract a soulmate, what Arielle Ford has to say will help you.
As Arielle mentioned during the show, you can read her blog and get some sample chapters of her new book by visiting her website.

Live Your Music – Interview with Carl Stedmond 02/17/16
Hello Everyone,
Carl Stedmond was my guest for Live Your Music today and we talked about the various ways he is living his music. Carl has a new music CD for children – and for all of us who have a "kid" inside of us. During the show I played a "montage" of four songs which are produced with state-of-the-art 432hz frequency. I love the songs and would love for you to hear them on the show.
To hear the podcast recording of today's show with Carl Stedmond as my guest, please click here.
Click on the photo above to hear a replay of Live Your Music
with Carl Stedmond, as my guest.
Carl Stedmond is an inspirational and motivational speaker, a singer songwriter, and a martial arts instructor who "serves" as a teacher of PEACE and Self Empowerment.
Carl was born in Merseyside England in a small town next to Liverpool. It seems Carl was born to SELF EMPOWER and then help others do the same. In a wheelchair from the age of eight until eleven (Perthes Dis-ease) a rare hip disorder did not stop him from starting a long hard path of Shotokan karate.
Carl's teaching methods have changed greatly since he had a huge shift in consciousness in 2005 and changed the name of his club from the Liverpool School of Martial Arts to The Harmony Center.
Carl became a singer and songwriter at the age of 46. With his unique voice he is often compared to Rod Stewart and does tributes to the Legendary rocker.
Carl recorded his first music CD, in 2008 and he tours as a "one man" show, telling his life story through his songs.
One show he is very proud of was a Peace Concert where he opened for the famous scientist Dr. Masaru Emoto who Carl gives a lot of credit for his own SHIFT in consciousness.
Carl's new CD, THE GREATEST ME which was produced and composed with Peter Nelson, is for children and the songs were created with state-of-the-art 432hz frequency which Carl explained during the show can be used to enhance music for meditation and for feelings of happiness and relaxation.
Carl will tell you that his intention is to bring people together. No matter where you come from, what you do, or what faith you believe in, he believes we all have a CHAMPION inside and we all have a story. He just wants to inspire you to go for YOUR dreams....and never EVER give up.
To find out more about Carl Stedmond, and his music, please visit his website: www.CarlStedmond.com
You can also connect with Carl on his Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/Carl-Stedmond
We had fun talking about Carl's new children's CD, his passion path of development in Karate and as a singer songwriter who is using his talents and gifts to empower children – as well as people of all ages to be happy and spread happiness. Carl inspires me and I feel certain he'll inspire you too so I hope you'll take 30 minutes to listen to the replay of the show.
I'd love for you to listen to the show and to share it with your family and friends!

Live Your Music – Interview with Jack Foster III 01/20/16
Hello Everyone,
Jack Foster III was my guest for Live Your Music today! We had fun talking about how he is living his music with his new album JazzRapt, touring with December People, recording with Robert Berry, and playing live performances with other Bay Area bands. I also played a fun song from his new album during the show and we talked and laughed about it.
To hear the podcast recording of today's show with Jack Foster III as my guest, please click here.
Click on the photo above to hear a replay of Live Your Music
with Jack Foster III, as my guest.
Jack Foster III has a degree in music composition and theory from Middlebury College in Vermont. He currently plays in several San Francisco Bay Area bands including DreamCycle, The ShowBiz Kidz, Carolina Sunset, and a seasonal holiday band called December People, which plays holiday classics — in the style of various Classic Rock bands.
December People performing A Classic Rock Christmas. Left to right: Jack Foster III, Robert Berry, David Lauser, Gary Pihl, and Dave Medd.

Jack says he has always been a genre bender, but his latest album covers new terrain. Though still retaining a rock-pop sensibility, JazzRapt moves Jack’s music towards the jazz side of the jazz-rock fusion spectrum.
My husband, Dudley, and I love the illustration on the cover of JazzRapt, Jack's 6th album, partly because it's drawn Phil Frank who was a treasured friend of ours. Jack and I didn't have time to talk about the cover art on the show today so I wanted to mention it here. It's a wonderful, playful, colorful illustration of a band of raptors playing together.
The cover art shows Jack's sense of humor – which is also apparent in the song I played during the show today. The title of the song is Your Purse. As Jack pointed out, it is how men feel when we ask them to hold a purse for us. I love the song! You can hear it during the show and also hear it by clicking here for the JazzRapt album.
To hear samples of the songs on Jack's six albums, you can click here to visit his band camp site with samples of songs from each album.
During the show we talked about a song called Inspiration that was inspired by the quote by Patanjali and how I inspired Jack and Robert Berry to create it. To hear a sample of the song, Inspiration, on Jack's album Jazzraptor's Secret, click here.
To connect with Jack online, visit his website: jazzraptor.com

Jack and I had a fun talking today! It was fun hearing about his music, the bands he performs with – especially December People – and recording the songs with Robert Berry. I feel certain Jack's new song from his 6th album, JazzRapt will make you smile.

Live Your Music – Interview with Cristi Earnshaw The Abundance Whisperer 01/13/16
Hello Everyone,
The Abundance Whisperer, Cristi Earnshaw, was my guest for Live Your Music today and we talked about abundance, releasing the old, welcoming new abundance, and how to feel more joy in 2016.
To hear the podcast recording of today's show with The Abundance Whisperer, Cristi Earnshaw, as my guest, please click here.
Click on the photo above to hear a replay of Live Your Music
with Cristi Earnshaw, The Abundance Whisperer, as my guest.
Cristi Earnshaw, has had the gift of intuitively reading the energy of people's personal items, in their home, since she was six years old.
She believes that personal items that do not carry Love Energy are considered clutter and can be blocking New Abundance from coming into people's lives. She specializes in helping her clients raise the Love Energy in their homes to make it easier to welcome their new good.
Cristi discusses intentions, and provides unique tools to instantly raise the energy in the homes or offices of her clients. She is a firm believer that everything a person owns is an extension of their energy. This is why it's so important to ONLY have the Highest Energy items in your environment.
Cristi has had her business for over 10 years and has worked in over 600 homes. She works both locally and internationally with Skype and can do in person sessions if you're in her area.
During the show Cristi and I talked about the importance of releasing the energy of guilt by releasing unloved items. By clearing out energies of guilt and fear, it lifts you to a higher love vibration which attracts more abundance into your life.
You'll hear Cristi's stories about clients receiving new abundance after working with her and why she has created some new services for those who are afraid to ask for her help because of concerns about money or time.
As Cristi said during the show, everything is energy and holding on to things that have "guilt" energy can block your flow of abundance in a variety of ways.
She told some inspiring stories about what can happen after an Abundance Whispering session. We also talked about what happened after I had a session with her in August 2015. The results were amazing and I love how I feel now because of what she's inspired me to believe and do. Talking with Cristi has radically changed – forever – how I think about clutter!
If you, or someone you know, would like to attract more abundance, a new relationship, or even a new job into your life, listen to what Cristi Earnshaw has to say during this interview!
The Abundance Whisperer is the name of Cristi's Facebook page where she posts inspiring quotes (such as the one above). If you "Like" her Facebook page you'll also get to see before and after photos from clients she's worked with locally and internationally. To connect with Cristi on Facebook, click on this link: www.facebook.com/theabundancewhisperer
You can connect with The Abundance Whisperer, Cristi Earnshaw, by visiting her website: www.theabundancewhisperer.com
Cristi and I had an inspiring conversation today! We talked about ways to attract more abundance into your life. Abundance can include finding money, attracting more joy into your life, feeling happiness in your home, attracting more clients, getting a new job, and also enjoying new relationships in your life.
Talking with Cristi today was inspiring. She is a woman who truly cares about people and wants the best for all of her clients and friends. I've met her in person and this is the third time she's been a guest on my show. If you've heard her interviews before, listen again to remind yourself what she has to say and let her inspire you to take action. If you've never heard Cristi talk about abundance whispering before you're in for a delightful surprise!
As I said during the show, I am glad to know her and am thankful to have done a session with her. I highly recommend her Abundance Whispering and Prosperity Project services and sessions.

Live Your Music – Interview with Elizabeth Hamilton-Guarino 01/06/16
Hello Everyone,
Elizabeth Hamilton-Guarino was my guest for Live Your Music today and we had a wonderful talk about ways to have a "Best Ever Year" in 2016.
To hear the recording of today's show, with Elizabeth as my guest, please click here.
Click on the photo above to hear a replay of Live Your Music

Elizabeth Hamilton-Guarino is the author of an inspiring Hay House book titled Percolate… Let Your Best Self Filter Through. I've read her book and I recommend reading it. She's authentic, lovable, fun, and unique. I like how she talks about "Letting Your Best Self Filter Through" and compares life to percolating your coffee.
Elizabeth lives life with allergies to peanuts, tree nuts, fish, and shellfish. In 1998, she nearly lost her life due to an allergic reaction to almonds and then in 1999, she had a second near-fatal allergic reaction while pregnant and was hospitalized for more than a week.
Elizabeth understands firsthand the challenges life can bring and has worked with thousands across the globe to illuminate their light within and help them live their best life.
In 2008, Elizabeth left a 17 year career in the financial services industry to start The Best Ever You Network, which is now a leading multimedia provider of lifestyle and self-help content.
Elizabeth has a degree in communications and broadcasting; is a life coach, food-allergy expert, and anaphylaxis survivor; and she hosts The Best Ever You Show on blog talk radio.
Elizabeth lives with her husband and four boys in Maine.
You can connect with Elizabeth Hamilton-Guarino by visiting her websites: www.BestEverYou.com and www.PercolateBook.com
We had a wonderful 30 minute conversation about ways to help you have a "Best Ever Year" in 2016. Our talk today included some of the topics in a blog article written by Elizabeth. The title of the article is Practice Abundance – Create and Live Your Best Life in 2016. You can read her article by clicking on the title.
"Practice Abundance" by taking the time to notice and appreciate all that you have in your life as Elizabeth suggested during the show.
At this time of year many people get focused on all of the things they didn't do during the last year and also things that they feel they "should" have done.
But, as Elizabeth said, what can be more motivating is to focus on WHY you want create your desired outcome. What will you see? What will you hear? How good will you feel?
One of the things I love to do is create a list of "25+ Things I'm Glad I Did Last Year" for the year that just ended. I've noticed that by creating my list, it reminds me of things I did that helped me enjoy how I used my gift of time and it also motivates me to start thinking about things I'd love to put on my list for this year and why I'm inspired to do it.
What are you glad you did last year? What would you love to do this year? What would you let yourself try doing if you knew you'd feel good just by giving it a try? I'd love to hear what you decide to try doing this year!
One of the things I'm glad I did last year is to host my radio show Live Your Music. I've greatly enjoyed talking with each of my guests about how they are living the "music" they hear calling them. Seeing the list of shows does inspire me to keep hosting my show!

Live Your Music – Interview with Diana Toma 12/16/15
Hello Everyone,
Artist Diana Toma was my guest for Live Your Music again this week!
To hear the recording of today's show, with Diana as my guest for her second time, please click here.
Click on the photo above to hear a replay of my 2nd show with Diana Toma.
Diana Toma is an award winning Romanian visual artist currently teaching and creating in Atlanta, Georgia. Diana's teaching approach focuses on fast, free-flowing painting release, and helps create creative un-blockage.
Diana's work reaches beyond the boundaries of art galleries, her art being commissioned and featured in unconventional places, such as at live events, on billboards, poetry magazines, with the most notorious one being a clothing line featuring her artwork, commissioned by and for the US Open Tennis Championship.
Click on Diana Toma's illustrations, above, to visit www.artbydianatoma.com
Diana is often invited to speak on open panels representing the working artist, the most recent appearances being at the The Mayors Office of Cultural Affairs and the The Contemporary Museum in Atlanta, Georgia.
Diana is also seen as an esteemed professional authority, often being invited to judge and jury art shows.
Today Diana talked about what it's like to take her art classes and she told me that she likes to create a safe and loving place for her students to learn to paint. She told us what it means to do intuitive painting. She also talked about where she currently teaches and how she is planning to do classes in a variety of locations so more people can benefit from taking a class with her!
I love how Diana talks about learning to paint. She works with her students in a non-threatening environment and through her instruction, helps them believe they can learn to paint. The photos of her art class makes it look like fun and that is because Diana likes her students to have fun while they are learning. The more fun you have, the more you can learn because you're open and willing to just give it a try.
Have you taken any art classes? Would you like to take a class with Diana Toma? She spoke of using Skype for art classes and that could be the first step. I have to say that I am curious what it would be like to take a class with her! I wish my teachers in college had been as inspiring as her and had made the classes so much fun!
Last time Diana was on my show, she posted some of her students' paintings on her Facebook page. The paintings were amazing and blew me away.
You can connect with Diana Toma on Facebook by clicking on this link: www.facebook.com/ArtByDianaToma or for more information about her and to see get information about her classes, you can visit her website: www.ArtByDianaToma.com
We had a wonderful 30 minute conversation about creativity, art, and how to believe in your ability to un-block your creativity.
Diana's mission is to move, touch, and inspire people through being authentic. Her art moves me, touches my heart, and inspires me and I greatly enjoyed having her as my guest for Live Your Music both times. If you missed my first interview with Diana Toma on 11/11/15, you can hear it by clicking here.
Hearing Diana Toma's story during the first interview was very inspiring. You can listen to it first or you can listen to it after today's show by clicking on the link above.
As I've said before, one of my main intentions with my show is to give you lots of ideas for ways you can live your music and enjoy your life. While you are listening to my conversation with Diana Toma, I hope you'll feel inspired to try some new things – to expand your mind and just for the fun of it.
What would you let yourself do if you knew you'd feel good just by giving it a try? I'd love to hear what you decide to try doing after listening to this show!

Live Your Music – Interview with Debra Oakland 12/09/15
Hello Everyone,
I am happy to have my inspiring friend Debra Oakland as my guest for Live Your Music today!
To hear the recording of today's show — with Debra Oakland as my guest — please click here.
Debra Oakland – Living in Courage Online
Over a short 4 years Debra Oakland lost her 21 year old son, her baby girl in the 8th month of pregnancy and both brothers to AIDS. A few years later her father passed away from prostate cancer.
Debra began her life altering path, becoming a writer, courage advocate, and joyful experiencer. She now writes, speaks, and works with Universal Laws & Principles of Love that assist others to live courageously from the inside out.
Debra’s story and passion to assist others to embrace living in courage, has been featured in major media outlets including online TV, radio, magazines, and best-selling books.
Debra is eagerly anticipating the release of her own book Change Your Movie, Change Your Life: 7 Reel Concepts for Courageous Change which will be available on February 17th, 2016. As I mentioned during the show, Debra will be back on Live Your Music in January to tell us more about her book. Please put the show date, January 27, 2016, in your calendar to remind you.
One of her greatest goals — with her book and her writing — is to guide others to connect to their true inner passion and unique essence of authenticity.
Laguna Beach Sunset by Debra Oakland
Debra lives in Laguna Beach California with her husband and best friend, Cody. She posts beautiful photos such as this sunset and many inspiring messages on Facebook. You can find Debra's Living in Courage Facebook page by clicking here.
You can find out how to sign up for Debra's inspiring monthly eNewsletters by visiting her Living in Courage website. www.livingincourageonline.com
During the show we mentioned a blog message by Debra titled Generosity of Spirit – Someone Spiked the Punch! You can read the message on her blog by clicking here or on the photo below.
Blog Message – Generosity of Spirit – Someone Spiked the Punch!
Today we had a conversation about living in courage, kindness, prosperity, generosity, and how to feel and share more happiness during the holiday season and New Year.
The quote from the book ANAM CARA - A Book of Celtic Wisdom by John O'Donohue, that Debra shared during the show today, was inspiring so I'd like to share part of it here.
"The divine has such passionate creativity and instinct for the fully inhabited life. If you live the life you love, you will receive shelter and blessings. If you allow yourself to be the person you are, then everything will come into rhythm. The shape of each soul is different. There is a secret destiny for each person. When you endeavor to repeat what others have done or force yourself into a preset mold, you betray your individuality. We need to return to the solitude within, to find again the dream with the wonder of a child approaching a threshold of discovery."
While you are listening to our conversation, I hope it will remind you to take some time for solitude, to be kind to yourself and others, to give more hugs, and to imagine ways you can make this a relaxing, happy, and fun holiday season for you, your family, and your friends.

Live Your Music – Happy Holidays – Interview with Dudley DeNador 12/02/15
Hello Everyone,
I am happy to have my talented, inspiring, and super fun husband, Dudley DeNador, as my guest for Live Your Music today!
To hear the recording of today's show about Happy Holidays! – with Dudley as my guest – please click here.
We talked about an inspiring book by Dr. Wayne Dyer titled Happy Holidays! and some highlights of Dr. Dyer's uplifting advice for how to avoid the holiday blues and recapture the true spirit of Christmas, Hanukkah, and New Year's holidays.
Click on the book to hear a replay of our conversation about Happy Holidays!
During the show I played our own holiday song, Merry Christmas. The music was written by my husband, Dudley. The lyrics were a collaboration by all three of us, including our son Zander. It was recorded in December 2007 by our super-talented friend Robert Berry at Soundtek Studios in Campbell, California.
If you'd like to get our song, Merry Christmas, it is available as a digital download on CD Baby: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/dudleydenador4
Click here to download our song from CD Baby.
Also during the show today, we talked about giving the gift of experiences instead of giving traditional gifts for the holidays. One of our favorite experiences over the past years has been seeing December People perform their show A Classic Rock Christmas. The shows feature amazing lighting and classic Christmas carols performed in the style of famous rock groups. They also help benefit the people in the local area by asking attendees to donate canned food to help those in need.
Pictured L-R: Jack Foster, Robert Berry, David Lauser, Gary Pihl, and David Medd.
We're looking forward to seeing the new show in Pleasanton, California on Saturday, December 12, 2015. There are two shows that day and we've decided to go to the early show at 2pm. The shows are family friendly and I'm pleased to see that there is an early show in Pleasanton this year!
As we mentioned during the radio show, there will be three shows in Michigan this year on December 18, 19, and 21, 2015. The shows will be in Saginaw, Port Huron, and Grand Rapids. There will also be a show on Friday night on December 25, 2015 in Oroville, California.
If you live near one of those cities, or know someone who does, we highly recommend getting tickets to see the show.

Live Your Music – Five Show Links 11/25/15
Hello Everyone,
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you, your family, and your friends!!
Because it's a holiday week, I've decided to share links for replays of shows with a few of the many guests I've been thankful to have on my Live Your Music show during this past year. I am also thankful that next week it will be two years since I hosted my very first BlogTalk Radio show!
The inspiring guests I've chosen to feature in this Thanksgiving newsletter include: Chris Austria, Cristi Earnshaw, Robert Berry, Shiloh Hobel, and Lynn Rae Lowe.
Each one of them is a great example of living your music and they are each making the world a better place in their own ways.
Chris Austria works for the Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary in Uganda. This haven is home to 48 orphaned chimpanzees that have been rescued from the illegal wildlife trade. They live on 95 acres of forest habitat. The sanctuary was founded in 1998 by Dr. Jane Goodall and a group of founding trustees.
Originally from San Francisco, California, Chris has worked with tigers, lions, leopards, birds of prey, and a variety of animals for many years at Marine World Africa U.S.A., Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo, California and the San Francisco Zoo.
To hear my 08/26/15 Live Your Music show with Chris Austria, click here.
Cristi Earnshaw, The Abundance Whisperer, says, "There is always a major transformation in a room after removing the clutter and then organizing the remaining contents." She teaches her clients to develop new, empowering habits during the process of working with them. She is a firm believer in removing things that don't carry the 'Love Energy' and has changed how I think about what to keep!
To hear my 07/15/15 Live Your Music show with Cristi Earnshaw, The Abundance Whisperer, click here.
Robert Berry is a recording artist, singer, songwriter, record producer, and owner of Soundtek Studios in Campbell, California.
In addition to his own music, and performing with others, Robert is the creator of a fun holiday rock band called December People that plays classic rock Christmas songs. They perform a series of shows called A Classic Rock Christmas at this time of year.

Shiloh Hobel is a Bay Area native, music industry professional, recording and live performance vocalist, musician, composer and industry award recipient. She's also active with the Grammys and West Coast Songwriters.
Shiloh’s early exposure to music by her musical family, and deep connection with music, inspired her to pursue a career in both the artistic and business management sides of the industry, and has dedicated her passions to supporting arts and education.
To hear my 12/03/14 interview with Shiloh Hobel on Live Your Music, click here.
Artist Lynn Rae Lowe has lived her life somewhere between the right and left brain with zeal and achievements across many creative disciplines. Her first one-woman art exhibit was as a college sophomore, since then she has received two Niche Awards for creative design, garnered prestigious museum exhibits, as well as having international gallery representation for her colorful and creative art.

Clicking on the links for the shows — and also on each of the photos above — will take you to the show's replay where there is more information about each guest and including how you can connect with them online.
I am thankful for all of the inspiring people who have chosen to be my guest for Live Your Music during the past two years. Every conversation has inspired me by hearing the various ways others are living the music they hear calling them.
During the shows I always like my listeners to think of what they feel inspired to do. I am hoping that hearing these interviews will encourage you to live your music in your own ways.
As a reminder, you can listen to On-Demand episodes for all of my Live Your Music shows by clicking here.

Love & Hugs,
Margaux

Live Your Music – Interview with Chuck Ballinger 11/04/15
Hello Everyone,
My inspiring, fun friend Chuck Ballinger was my guest for Live Your Music this week.
To hear the recording of today's show, with Chuck as my guest, please click here.
Click on the photo to hear a replay of the show with Chuck Ballinger.
When people ask Chuck what he does, he often doesn’t know how to answer. He realizes most people want to know what he does for a living, but that is rarely his top priority.
Chuck says he’s always been self-employed as a designer/builder, but his contracting business merely provides him with the means to do many things.
Chuck has written for over ten national magazines specializing in travel, building, and scuba diving.
His art has been shown in numerous shows. His unique style features paintings based on “social commentary." Following are two examples of Chuck's art. One is titled "Fast Food at Night" and the other is titled "The Birth of Baby Santa."
Chuck’s travels have taken him to over 60 countries. Many of those trips were on assignment as a travel and scuba-diving journalist.
In 2001, he wrote the book An American Underwater Odyssey - 50 Dives in 50 States and it chronicles his journey to discover America both above and below the surface in each state. This personal quest took over a year to complete.
You can find out more about Chuck, his "social commentary art, and his book 50 Dives in 50 States, on his websites:
www.CharlesBallinger.com
www.dive50states.com
Chuck is also the president of our fun and inspiring Toastmasters club, Southern Marin Toastmasters 1441, in Mill Valley, California.
Joining Toastmasters International, almost 11 years ago, was one of the best choices I've ever made in my life. Chuck feels glad he joined Toastmasters as well. During this show we've chosen to focus on why we joined Toastmasters, what it's like, why we recommend it, and how it can help you live your music.
Join us for a conversation about creativity, art, music, the art of communication, and how Toastmasters can help YOU live your music and enjoy your life.
One of my main intentions with my show is to give you lots of ideas for ways you can live your music and enjoy your life. While you are listening to my conversation with Chuck, I hope you'll feel inspired to try some new things – just for the fun of it.

Live Your Music – Interview with Robert Berry 10/28/15
Hello Everyone,
My inspiring, talented, and fun friend Robert Berry was back on Live Your Music today talking about the new December People performances coming up and the release of their album – A Classic Rock Christmas – featuring well-known holiday songs re-created in the styles of popular rock bands. December People always brings huge fun, holiday spirit, gratitude, and reminders of the importance of giving back to your own community by making donations when you attend their shows. We also talked about how your dreams can come true when you live your music!
To hear the recording of today's fun and inspiring show, with Robert Berry as my guest, please click here.
Click on the photo to hear a replay of the show with Robert Berry.
Robert is a performing musician, singer songwriter, record producer, and is the owner of Soundtek Studios in Campbell, California.
In addition to his own music, and performing with others, Robert is the creator of December People, his holiday band that plays creative and high energy classic rock Christmas songs.
Pictured L-R: Jack Foster, Robert Berry, David Lauser, Gary Pihl, and David Medd.
When you listen to my interview with Robert Berry, you'll hear a brand new version of the song Silver Bells in the style of Tom Petty from A Classic Rock Christmas. I love the new album and wish it had been possible to play several of the songs.
The release date for the new album is November 7, 2015 which is when they perform their first show for this year in Monterey, California.
The songs on the new album are performed in the styles of the following rock artists: Tom Petty, The Eagles, Fun, Toto, The Tubes, Dire Straights, Van Halen, Train, John Lennon, and Kansas.
There is also an original Robert Berry Christmas song titled That Time of Year on the album. I've enjoyed all of the albums before this one, but this new album is my favorite. I can't believe the amazing creativity and musical prowess of Robert Berry, Gary Pihl, David Medd, David Lauser, and Jack Foster when they perform as December People.
We're looking forward to seeing the new show in Pleasanton, California on Saturday, December 12, 2015. There are two shows that day and we've decided to go to the early show at 2pm. The shows are family friendly and I'm happy that there is an early show in Pleasanton this year!

Live Your Music – Interview with Ande Lyons 10/14/15
Hello Everyone,
I am happy to have Ande Lyons on Live Your Music this week!
To hear my interview with Ande Lyons, please click here.
Ande Lyons is an enthusiastic and experienced entrepreneur with an MBA and four successful businesses to her credit, she is the founder and "Chief Possibility Officer" of Possibility Partners, where she mentors CEOs and provides tools and resources for Do-It-Yourself Entrepreneurs launching, branding, and building their businesses.
Ande's earlier companies include venture-backed College Broadcast, a broadband media portal with over 50,000 viewers per day; Goddess Granola, a gourmet food product Ande took from recipe to manufacturing, branding and distribution in 27 states; and Bring Back Desire, a website devoted to sharing tips, tools and resources with couples seeking more love and excitement in their relationship.
During this interview we talked about the fact that it takes courage to go for your dreams and to live your music. One of the ways to have more courage is to surround yourself with people who encourage you, inspire you, uplift you, and show you how they can help you. Mentors and coaches can help you do things you could never do on your own. There are many more possibilities in life when you have a mentor or coach to be your partner in your life and your work.
Ande and I met through our inspiring, courageous, and fun friend Debra Oakland. As we mentioned, the latest issue of Debra's Living in Courage eNewsletter has an article I wrote about Resonance & Attraction. You can read my article on Resonance & Attraction by clicking here. You can sign up for Debra Oakland's inspiring monthly Living in Courage eNewsletter, and read the article she wrote about resonance, on her website at www.livingincourageonline.com
"Life happens FOR you, not to you. Every event brings you a deeper relationship with your Beloved Self and your Beloved Life. This is especially true for the courageous Entrepreneurial Adventurer."
— Ande Lyons
During the show you'll hear a sample of an uplifting Early Morning Meditation for Entrepreneurial Adventurers created by Ande Lyons. The full mp3 file is about ten minutes long. To get your mp3 download of Ande's Early Morning Meditation, please click here.
You can find inspiration by watching videos of Ande Lyons on her YouTube channel Andelicious Advice, by clicking here.
I've enjoyed seeing posts by Ande Lyons on Facebook for the past couple of years. She's always got something uplifting, encouraging, and inspiring to say and to share.

Live Your Music – Interview with Robert Berry 09/23/15
Hello Everyone!
I am happy to have Robert Berry back on Live Your Music today!
To hear my interview with Robert Berry, please click here.
Click on the album cover to get a copies of the CDs at Amazon.
Robert Berry is a Grammy nominated recording artist, singer, songwriter, producer and performing musician.
Robert Berry was featured on the album "3" with Keith Emerson and Carl Palmer; he has toured with Ambrosia; and has a long running project - Alliance - with members of Boston, Sammy Hagar and Night Ranger. He has also performed with the Tubes andGreg Kihn and is the creator of December People which is his band that performs around the holidays playing Christmas carols written in the style of classic rock groups.
Robert is also the owner of Soundtek Studios in Campbell, California. Robert has the poster (shown below) hanging up at his recording studio and when we go there it reminds us of what an exciting adventure this was for him and that dreams can come true.
During this interview, Robert and I talked about what it was like to perform with Keith Emerson, Carl Palmer and Paul Keller for the 3 Live Tour in 1988. We also talked about the new release of a two-CD set of live recordings from the concert in Boston. The live CDs have fantastic sound for a live recording. As I said during the show, I am so glad to have them since I never got to see them perform live back in 1988. Listening to the CDs helps me imagine what it was like to be at the concert and see these master musicians perform.
Carl Palmer, Keith Emerson, and Robert Berry
During the show you'll hear a song titled On My Way Home from the live album. Robert shared some inspiring stories about the origin of the song. The song is powerful and hearing it reminds us of how we all need to enjoy the time we have here on Earth.
I've known Robert since our college years and during today's interview he shared stories I'd never heard before. It was great to hear what it was like recording the album with Keith Emerson and Carl Palmer and a special treat to find that Robert's long-time friend and band mate from HUSH, Paul Keller, was chosen as the guitarist to join them on tour!
Without a doubt, Keith Emerson is one of the best keyboard players in the world and Carl Palmer is an incredible drummer. Emerson, Lake and Palmer was one of the bands I enjoyed hearing during college — but I have to say that my favorite album is To the Power of Three which is the one recorded with Robert Berry.
Click on the album cover to get a copy of To the Power of Thee at Amazon.
You can find the Emerson, Berry, Palmer album, To the Power of Three, on Amazon, by clicking on the album cover above. I highly recommend getting this album.
Click on poster above to visit the website for December People –
A Classic Rock Christmas.
During the last part of the show today, we talked about the dates for Robert's holiday music band, December People. Robert will be back on my show at the end of October to talk about the new album and what you can expect for the 2015 Classic Rock Christmas shows.

Live Your Music – Honoring Dr. Wayne Dyer 09/16/15
Hello Everyone,
This week, in honor of Dr. Wayne Dyer, I've decided to share links for shows I've done with Wayne Dyer's daughters Skye Dyer and Serena Dyer Pisoni, and Hay House authors Alex Woodard, Dave Carroll, and Michael J. Chase. Each of them is an example of living your music and they are each making the world a better place in their own ways.
One of the things Wayne Dyer did that I greatly appreciated is that he would introduce us to new and inspiring authors, musicians, and singers.
Today, in my eNewsletter, you'll find links for interviews I've done with these inspiring authors including Serena Dyer Pisoni and also links for interviews I've done with Wayne Dyer's daughter Skye who's a singer songwriter. I've also included links to the albums and books so you can get them at amazon by clicking on the covers of the CDs and books in this newsletter.
Skye Dyer has been on Live Your Music three times and each time I played one of her beautiful songs from her Letting Go album. Skye's songs I've played during the shows are: Letting Go, Mirror, and My Time. To listen to my Live Your Music interviews with Skye Dyer, click on the links that follow.
To hear Skye Dyer's first interview and her song Letting Go, click here.
To hear Skye Dyer's second interview and her song Mirror, click here.
To hear Skye Dyer's third interview and her song My Time, click here.
Serena Dyer Pisoni has been on Live Your Music two times – one before her wedding and her book and one right after the wedding and her book's release. During the second interview I played a song called This Gift which is based on a letter Serena wrote to her Dad. The song was written by Alex Woodard and is sung by Skye Dyer. This Gift is the song that Serena and her Dad danced to at her wedding on Maui.
To listen to my first interview with Serena Dyer, click here.
To listen to my second interview with Serena Dyer Pisoni, click here.
Alex Woodard was on my show last year and we talked about his For The Sender books which were derived from letters sent to Alex and inspired him to write a series of books and songs. Alex is both a musician and a Hay House author. You'll enjoy our conversation and his song For the Sender which I played during my interview with him.
To listen to my Live Your Music interview with Alex Woodard and also hear his song For the Sender, click here.
Dave Carroll was on my show last year and we talked about his book United Breaks Guitars: The Power of One Voice in the Age of Social Media and I played his song United Breaks Guitars which has had millions of views on YouTube. He spoke of how his life has changed since the United Breaks Guitars video went viral on social media and how he learned that one voice can be heard all over the world. Watch the video of the song on YouTube and yours could be the 15,282,828th viewing!!!
To listen to my Live Your Music interview with Dave Carroll, click here.
Michael J. Chase was on my show last year to talk about his book The Radical Practice of Loving Everyone: A four-legged approach to enlightenment. Focusing on the gregarious antics of his beloved dog Mollie, Michael writes and speaks with humor about how to live a life of kindness and love. In 2007, Michael started The Kindness Center with the vision of creating a more peaceful and kindhearted world. Rather than build a physical “center,” he decided to spread his message across the globe by creating “random acts of kindness” events.
To listen to my Live Your Music interview with Michael J. Chase, click here.
Next week my guest will be Robert Berry, an incredible musician, singer songwriter, recording engineer and owner of Soundtek Studios, Campbell, CA. We'll be talking about the recent release of 3 Live and what it was like to go on tour with Keith Emerson and Carl Palmer and have his friend and band mate Paul Keller chosen as the guitarist for the tour. I'll be playing a song, On My Way Home, from the 3 Live CD during the show.
You can listen to On-Demand episodes for all of my Live Your Music shows by clicking here.
I hope you'll take the time to listen to one or more of these inspiring Live Your Music interviews and forward this message to your family and friends so they can listen.
Love,
Margaux

Aloha Wayne Dyer…
As many of you know, one of my most treasured teachers is Dr. Wayne Dyer. You might also know that my radio show, Live Your Music, got its name because of him. Dr. Dyer was always saying, "Don't die with your music still in you." While thinking about what Wayne was saying without saying "don't" and "die," I chose to call it "Live Your Music." Wayne wanted us all to live the "music" we hear calling us. Wayne lived his music by teaching, writing books, creating audio recordings, hosting his weekly Hay House Radio show, and giving inspiring talks all over the planet.
Wayne's daughter, Serena Dyer Pisoni, has written a book titled Don't Die With Your Music Still in You and I've talked with her about it on my show. His daughter Skye Dyer is living her music by writing songs and singing. Skye has also been on my show. You can hear the replays of those shows by clicking on the link for my show's on-demand episodes.
As you may have heard, last weekend Dr. Dyer became what I like to think of as an Angel in the Sun.
Wayne Dyer has been part of my life since I read his book Your Erroneous Zones in 1978. He taught me to Love First and he helped inspire me to write my book and host my radio show. I am thankful for every time we got to see him on Maui and every time I got to hear him speak in San Jose, San Francisco, Las Vegas, San Diego, and Pasadena. My husband, Dudley, our son Zander, and I treasure our memories of our time with him on Maui and here in Marin County, California at Book Passage in 2001. Wayne Dyer was a "scurvy elephant" and we could totally relate because we are all "scurvy elephants" as well. We are so very thankful to have been blessed with the love he helped us feel and express. Aloha Wayne Dyer. We are sending love to you, your family, and all who love you!
Aloha means both hello and goodbye. The word Aloha is a favorite of mine and I love what it says about it in the poster below. "I believe in Aloha and Kindness, 'Ohana first, meaningful Friendships, counting my Blessings, and Giving to others. I choose to see the good in life even during times of struggle. I am Grateful for the life i have and for all the wonderful people that make this journey worthwhile."
Dr. Wayne Dyer lived the spirit of Aloha. He lived on Maui and loved to walk along Kaanapali Beach. Let's all do our best to live the spirit of Aloha – to be kind, value friendships and family, to count our blessings, and to choose to see the good in life. And let's also choose to be happy, and spread happiness, as Swati Nigam and I talked about on my show today. Love and happiness are what Wayne was teaching in every book he wrote and every time he spoke at an event or on his radio show. I know Wayne would want us all to do our best to live love, be happy, and spread happiness!
If you've missed any of my shows, you can listen to replays of Live Your Music by clicking here.
I hope you'll listen to the inspiring interview with Swati Nigam about happiness and forward this message to your family and friends. Let's all do what we can to be happy and spread love and happiness all over this beautiful planet!
Aloha Love,
Margaux

Chris Austria works for the Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary in Uganda. This haven is home to 48 orphaned chimpanzees that have been rescued from the illegal wildlife trade. They live on 95 acres of forest habitat. The sanctuary was founded in 1998 by Dr. Jane Goodall and a group of founding trustees.
Originally from San Francisco, California, Chris has worked with tigers, lions, leopards, birds of prey, and a variety of animals for many years at Marine World Africa U.S.A., Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo, California and the San Francisco Zoo.
Chris with a tiger at Marin World Africa U.S.A

In addition to his work with animals, Chris was the director of music licensing for Independent Distribution Collective in San Francisco and managed the music licensing catalogue and placed music in TV, Film, and video games.
Chris has been a tiger analyst for the ABC TV Network and worked with the World Wildlife Fund’s Bay Area Regional Office in prospect research and fundraising events.

Following are two of the links we talked about during the show:
