I always get a little bit excited at this time of the year with summer approaching, and I always write about it. There’s just something engaging about seeing the world wake up to a new growing season and the promise of being outdoors in great spaces. It also means a lot more work with yards and property, but somehow the enthusiasm that the earth puts forth sweeps me up and carries me to new heights of energy and awareness. It’s intoxicating! Of course the pandemic is still an issue in many parts of the world and to an extent here. We have to take the good with the bad, and there’s nothing wrong with having a reminder to be vigilant and cautious and caring for others and ourselves. But it’s summer! Let yourself feel the rhythms of the earth, and let yourself rejoice in the new growth and new life. That will be the spirit for my Thursday online show this week.

What have I been up to?
I had 11 senior facilities last week, and I enjoyed every one! It’s so good to finally be fully back at these places although we are still taking great precautions.
My Thursday online show was doing songs that shaped my audience again, and there were some great tunes. I created a new way for people to make requests independent of the comment thread, and this has really helped people to be able to make requests and for me to not lose them in the comments.
My Sunday online show of favorites and requests went really well too even though I was busy for most of the weekend opening cabins and cleaning up downed branches around our property here after the huge wet snowstorm that blew through and dumped so much snow. Next week I’ll hopefully have more time to learn new requests.

What am I up to this week?
I have 10 senior facilities this week, and I’m actually getting new facilities calling me so I’m busier than ever.
My Thursday online show 7-8:30 mountain time will be a summer kickoff of fun songs to capture the enthusiasm I wrote about above. Music has always been a big part of this season for me - especially listening while driving to great destinations - sometimes to hear music played! I hope you’ll tune in if you’re free.
My Sunday online show 7-8:30 mountain time will be favorites and requests as always. We have such a wonderful group of folks who attend and support each other and the music. We’ve been having a Zoom conversation 6:30 to 7:00 ahead of the show too which has been a lot of fun. Here’s the link if you’d like to join the Zoom - https://us04web.zoom.us/j/7759127796?pwd=MZ55WfXnEkOSi3_ztfvmMlbe2oCpoN.1

That’s it for this week. I hope you’re just as excited about the summer.
Best always,
Tom
