October '08 Newsletter

October 7, 2008 by Nathen Aswell

Hi Everyone –

Warm greetings and blessings to you all!

May you be filled with lovingkindness.

May you be safe and protected from all inner and outer dangers.

May you be well in body and mind.

May you be at ease and happy.

Here we are in October, days away from my favourite holiday: (Canadian) Thanksgiving. In 1992, I chose Thanksgiving Day as the day to begin my new life in Vancouver, knowing that I would then have one more reason to celebrate the day every year; and now, 16 years later, I have MANY more reasons to celebrate it. I am truly grateful for everything that is unfolding in my life, and I’m excited about stepping ever more deeply into the fullness of who I am. AMEN!

What fills YOU with gratitude? Drop me a line at nathenaswell@shaw.ca and let me know; I’d love to hear from you.

REPORT

For me, THE highlight of September was my week in Kansas City, where I performed at a House Concert and then (FULLY) participated in New Thought Music Week. (Have a look at the new pictures on the “Photos” page.) It was remarkable to see and feel how much has changed for me since last year’s conference; it is my GREAT good fortune to now have many of the talented artists who gather annually for this event as dear friends. BIG thanks to Teri Wilder for opening up her home for a terrific House Concert, to Richard Mekdeci and Sue K Riley for all of the work that they put into organizing NTMW every year, and to ALL who attended this year’s event. (I must also give special thanks to Freebo, Lori Sandstrom and Robert Anderson for their open hearts, wisdom and encouragement.)

I am very grateful for ALL of the music making in my life. May every note that I sing and play help to heal the world and help us remember who and what we truly are: spiritual beings having a human experience. AMEN!

NEW WEB SITE CONTENT

As well as updating the calendar on my web site, I’ve:

– added pictures of my week in Kansas City to my “Photos” page. (Click on the thumbnail images to see the full pictures.)

– updated my “Music Store / Book a Concert / Links” page. Under “Music Store”, I’ve added images of my CD (“Little By Little”) and my DVDs (“CD Release Party” and “House Concert”), and a link to where you can purchase copies of all three online (http://bruha.com/Music_Store/music_store.html). And under “Book A Concert” is a link to a great 2-minute video on why YOUR living room is the perfect place for a House Concert (http://concertsinyourhome.com/beahostintro.html).

On my myspace page (www.myspace.com/nathenaswell), my updated calendar is under “Upcoming Shows”, and my new photos are under “About Nathen Aswell”.

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving, everyone. Go with love!

With love and gratitude,

– Nathen
