I can always count on my friends to nudge me towards this millennium in terms of music. I’m always looking for new tunes – music is my ULTIMATE moodbooster – along with coffee, rest, and flowers. It is what nudges this reluctant exerciser to actually sweat. It is what reminds me to breathe. Music is [...]

Who Knew | Music Monday

Twitter is kind of a funny thing – we connect with various folks whose paths we would have otherwise never crossed. The cross pollination of music and exercise connected me to [...]
