wake up sleepy head {Mixtape!}

Oh, good morning, sleepy head. Time to emerge from underneath your covers. I've made you a cup of tea, poured in the honey and cream. Wake up, darling bud. Time to stretch through the cold shiver. The sun has melted the snow, and the weather calls for a chance of rain. Time to wake, dear. Time to blossom and bloom after your winter's nap. You've rested. You've shed off layers. You're leaving the dark shadow lands for the beautiful light of day. It's time. It's time, my darling.

Wake up, sleepy head. A new day awaits you.

"Pure Sunshine" Guest DJ Mixtape !!!

Pure Sunshine by Brian Bacchus on Mixcloud

DJ Brian Bacchus has once again created a fantastic mix of music, this time ringing in the sunshine and warmer weather of Spring. In his words:

"This mix is nothing but house music that makes me think of fun in the sun. It's not meant for the club, it's meant for the terrace, poolside, the BBQ, or just driving on a sunny day with your windows down. I hope you all enjoy as much as I did making it!"

I share his sentiments in his dedication - wishing our beautiful friend Miss Diamond a speedy full recovery, and thank him profusely for his kind words to me. I am humbled and touched by his sentiment. Perhaps send him kind words yourself (one fellow dreamer/creative to another), listen to his other mixes on SoundCloud, and Mixcloud, or visit his FB page-? That would earn good Karma points, for sure.

A Mixtape for Creative Days

A mixtape: For creative days. For days when misty morning fog gently awakens you. For when you are burning scented candles, and dreaming, or writing in your sketchbook.

August Guest DJ Music Mix {Summit Heat}

DJ Brian Meisner is one of Jason and my very dearest friends. We met him some time ago in Las Vegas, and realized in an instant that we were "friends before we met".  He is one of the most talented people I know. His understanding and love for music is simply magical. He has worked with and studied under some of the top DJs in the world.

He created this awesome Mix for Believe.Hope.Dream and will mix us music every month from here til eternity ;) At least, that's what I'm rooting for. 

Later this week, I'll post a Q&A we had recently.  As you know, I'm a big time supporter of folks following their passions and dreams, and Brian's passion for music is inspiring indeed.  Sometimes the hardest aspect to following our bliss, is knowing how... hearing from those who took the leap of faith gives us courage.

Without further ado... enjoy August's Mix.

Summer Days {July's Mixtape}

Summer days are for ...

Taking naps on hammocks. Lemonade stands. Coastal drives. Campfires. Lightning bugs. Watching retro 80's movies. Grilling outdoors. Picnics at the seashore. Running through sprinklers. Slip and Slides. Setting up an aquarium. Sitting on the porch swing at twilight. Road trips. And pie. Always, always.. pie :)

This mixtape is the sound of those lazy days. The songs playing on the radio while you take an adventure, or sit by the water, soaking up the sun.

What are summer days for you? I would love to hear the traditions, songs, and things you love most about summer!

Hugs on the journey,

T
