-- Quote of the Day --  Re: song writing process: “Whenever I am in a studio and we discuss a new song, I like to search out songs that talk about real life experiences – that people can find some deeper meaning to the song.

My mom used to make her own teas from her herbal farm, and I retain special memories of time spent with her over a cup of fragrant tea with colorful flower petals floating on the surface. So when I had the opportunity to review some of Buddha Herbs tea products I jumped on it. We originally started discussion about this project back in late October 2013 and I received a delivery at my doorstep on December 2 nd .

It concerns of being self-aware that aspects of human psychology that makes us vulnerable to advertising and the media. …Albert Einstein once said that human beings are part of a whole called the universe– he who experiences himself …as something separate of the rest is a kind of delusion, a kind of prison, that restricts us to our personal desires and our task is to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. …I’ve been really involved in environmental issues and have been hopeful that I could raise awareness. …When you continually try to have an effect on society, and do things that you believe are for the good for everyone and you don’t see any effect it can be depressing or frustrating.
