This upbeat and fun show highlights Kim "Skipper" Corbin who started skipping for fun and fitness over 10 years ago.  It turned into much more than that for her.  It became a way to help shift the world to a more positive place, and also build the muscle of self confidence without worrying about what other people think.  Kim advises that a good way to start skipping is to try it in your own home first…start out with 10 skips and just see how you feel.  Chances are your childlike spirit will emerge and you can't help but smile.  Kim has an inspiring story you won't want to miss.

I was honored and excited to be a guest host for Dr. Pat’s radio show out of Seattle and on the internet on December 22nd. I invited one of my favorite people in the whole world, Annie Spiegelman, the Dirt Diva, to be my special guest. Below you can listen to the whole show. Annie is such an inspiration, and transformed her life when she left New York City where she worked in the movie business and moved to California and became a passionate environmentalist. She is now a Master Gardener, and author of three gardening books. Her latest book, “Talking Dirt,” makes it simple and easy for anyone…Annie always says if she can do it, anyone can.

She shares why we should reconsider having a lawn, especially in dry climates like California. Check out SafeLawns.org, LawnReform.org, and Composters.Com to find out how to fertilize without using pesticides. If you want to start a school garden, like Annie did, contact your local Master Gardeners or the American Horticulture Society, AHS.org. Annie and her books are chocked full of fabulous information about how we can take care of ourselves, our families, our communities, and our precious soil. Check her out at DirtDiva.com.

Annie also writes a popular organic gardening column entitled Dirt Diva in the Bay Area’s Pacific Sun newspaper and blogs on The Huffingon Post while also working in film production as a First Assistant Director. She claims she spends her days dodging bullets from the cutthroat publishing business, the maniacal movie industry and her teenage son. And rarely uses medication.

This show was inspirational for me. I had the pleasure of talking to musicians in France about their perspectives and stories with the healing power of music. Fa7 (Fabrice Mareau) and Ti Harmon had encouraging thoughts about how we can make this world a better place to live through music.

Fa7 is a musician and artist in France and travels extensively visiting Europe then Africa, making friends in passage with people of all social and geographical origins. His guitar and his song writing are his expression and vision for how to assist healing the world which encircles it.

His unique music is composed in nature, and varies depending on the landscapes. Tune into his CD “La Brise” to hear the sounds of the water in Guadeloupe, and the sounds of the stones in France. See if you can feel into where he composed it.

Always nomadic mind…learn more about Fa7, his music, and his world projects on MySpace/Fa7Music.

Ti (pronounced tai) Harmon is originally from Philadelphia. She began singing at the age of five, when she was the first to eagerly volunteer for the solo in her kindergarten Christmas concert. She has since honed her skills performing in New York, Madrid, and Paris. After completing her theatre studies at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts, she founded Rize Theatre and Dance Company. She then moved to Madrid where she decided to focus on music.

She now calls upon the total of her experiences to find her unique musical universe: a sweet Jazz mixed with Soul, Folk, and Blues.

The band consists of Ti Harmon (Voice/Songwriter), Germain Guyot (Paino/Songwriter), Thomas Hugenel (Bass/Songwriter), Stephane Berti (Guitar), and Martin Wangermée (Drums). The group has been working together for over a year and combines styles and creative ideas to arrive at their distinct sound. The group debuted its project at the Fronteny Jazz Festival in August 2009.
