Warm greetings, dear Friend!
I’ve missed connecting with you, and I hope that you’re well and happy.
Please forgive me for not being in touch since my last newsletter in January (!) – a LOT has happened in the last 4 months. If I were to sum it up in one sentence, I’d say that I’ve been living my INTENTION (my word for 2023) – living my FULLEST EXPRESSION – and I’ve never been happier.
For 10 weeks (5 in London, ON, and 5 here in Vancouver), I was blessed to be a part of my dear friend Andrea Menard’s theatre production, Rubaboo, and share a strong heart connection with my fellow performers (Andrea Menard, creator and singer; Robert Walsh, co-writer of the music, guitarist and singer; Karen Shepherd, violinist, percussionist and singer; and me, Chapman Stickist and singer).
In the middle of this month, I became a full member of a local Vancouver band that does several tribute shows: Arrival (ABBA), Dreams (Fleetwood Mac), Gaslighter (The [Dixie] Chicks), and The Memphis Flash (Elvis). (This is in addition to being a member of several other local groups: The Hits [70s rock], The R&B Allstars [R&B], Undercover [Pop and R&B], and The Wilds [original folk/pop]).
AND, on top of all this, I continue to create my Morning Musings (137 and counting!), serve spiritual centers in both Canada and the U.S. (both in person and online), and perform at many retirement and long term care homes.
WHEW!
The impact of all this can be seen and heard in this series of 4 recent Morning Musings.
I hope that you enjoy them, and that they serve you well:
Fullest Expression
Appreciation
Accepting
Be Easy
How about YOU, dear Friend? What’s been happening in YOUR experience these past 4 months? WHEREVER you are on your journey, I’d love to hear from you, and I welcome any and all suggestions for future Morning Musings or whatever else you’d like to share. Please e-mail me; we’re all in this together, and we have much to learn from each other.
(THANKS for being a part of my journey, and SPECIAL THANKS to all of the kind souls who respond to my newsletters; reading your comments is always a highlight of my month. And a very warm WELCOME to three new loving souls on my mailing list: Pauline Duncan-Thrasher [London, ON], Gemma Serenity Gorokhoff [Louisville, CO] and Christine Hugle [Maple Shade, NJ]!)
And, as always…

I’ve now created 137 chants (!) for my weekly “Morning Musings” broadcast (which you can enjoy via my YouTube channel); I continue to serve many churches in both Canada and the U.S. (live, online via streaming, and with pre-recorded videos), as well as many local retirement homes; and I also perform in several local musical groups as a vocalist, bassist, and/or Chapman Stickist.

As a very dear and wise friend in Montreal once said to me, “All I can offer you is my experience”.
My sincere desire, in every one of my newsletters, is to encourage us all to live our Big Lives one Small Step at a time.
Much love to you, dear Friend!
May you live YOUR Fullest Expression with Ease and Grace and JOY.
Go with Love,
– Nathen
