Day 4: 22 cans of @zevia , 2 gallons of water and 1,280 miles later, I made it from San Diego CA to Missoula MT 😎 I plan on busking 430-730pm tonight, if you happen to be around 🎶 . . Note: all trash in this video will be properly recycled as I always do, even when I’m on the road 💪🏼 (at Caras Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDR3my5j47f/?igshid=wvf8wyw82rmi

It’s important for people to see me smiling at them when I’m busking, so I’m using a plastic face shield now instead of a bandana. Zoom in and check it. . . Smiling is powerful in maintaining peace & unity amongst us all. I hope face shields are as effective as masks, so I can continue wearing mine, especially when performing 🤞😬🎶 . . photo by @dr.angela_klein (at San Diego, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CC1oco5jI5C/?igshid=g1hwecdz5wmn

Episode 15: Who Knows What’s Going On?! (rhetorical question, please don’t respond) . . Everyone has their opinion on what's happening in the world, but sometimes I wonder if ANYONE knows? I mean, no one really knows anything about anything during non-pandemic times, so why would anyone know anything now? A few things I find to be certain: boost your immune system, grow a garden, wear a mask, social distance, and have peaceful discussions with your friends, family and neighbors. . . Songs: 1 Everybody Knows by Leonard Cohen 2 It's Upon Us Now by Fast Heart Mart . . Full episode on YouTube, iTunes, Spotify etc..

I don’t often let the #valentinesdayblues get to me, but when I do I drink Old Milwaukee N.A. because I do my best to stay alcohol free this time of year 😆 🍻 . . . Beware friends, even in San Diego the short daylight hours can give me the #wintertimeblues If you’re extra sad today or this time of year, remember you are not alone. Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a real thing. I think a lot of people get it and don’t even realize it. I’ve been dealing with SAD my whole life and I didn’t realize it until I was 35 years old (7 years ago). As a teenager growing up in Virginia I would get suicidal in the winter months, especially January & February. About 3 years ago I really learned some ways to combat SAD, including reducing alcohol consumption, dietary supplements, plenty of rest, exercise and a few other things. If you are feeling down please reach out to someone who can help you. There is hope & you can overcome💙 . . . Also, when it comes to love, remember the words of Leonard Cohen “every heart to love will come, but like a refugee”. Oscar Wilde says “to love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance” . Louise L Hay “No one can love you more than you love yourself” Be gentle and true to yourself and perhaps one day true love will find you 💘 . . . You can also come hear me play some music, including some Valentine’s Day songs, tonight at the @obpeoplesorganicfoodmarket . . . If you can’t make the show, you can find my songs “Hippie Valentine”, “Crappy Holiday” and a few others on Spotify, YouTube and all your favorite sites 🎶 . . . Does anyone else think it’s interesting that “Seasonal Affective Disorder” and “Singles Awareness Day” have the same SAD acronym? 😆 . . . #seasonalaffectivedisorder #singlesawarenessday #SAD #depression #selflove #selfcare (at San Diego, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8jdr0ZnY43/?igshid=uwrpjat0yk72
