Fall 2020 Everyday Resonance


A NOTE FROM THE PUBLISHER - FALL 2020
Resonance is the natural frequency at which something vibrates. You, me, the coffee cup in your hand, the sidewalk, the car, the thought in your mind, the emotion in your heart, all have a resonant frequency. When two frequencies come into alignment, a transfer of energy occurs. This can be as radical as a soprano shattering a glass with her voice or as subtle as the warming of your heart when another being ‘resonates’ with you. I believe the physical distancing of 2020 ha


WRITING A NEW WORLD RHAPSODY WITH MAESTRO DINO ZONIC
“How you are perpetuating yourself in life will come back to you sooner or later” - Dino Zonic As he led his squadron of 35 men through the war-torn streets of Bosnia in the early 1990s, after years of fighting, but nothing changing, Dino Zonic knew it was time to put down his rifle and pick up his conducting baton. Already an educated musician and conductor, Dino fled to Croatia where he began to heal from the invisible wounds of war. It was his own healing journey that set


ACROSS THE CANAL
What it was that first caught my eye that day remains a mystery. What I do know is, that despite being one story above them, minding my own business behind the wall of glass, no sound was exchanged between them across the canal that day. It’s not that the breeze carried it out to the lake or that it made its way, like the early morning clouds clinging to the treetops, from the valley up to the top of the hill. It’s not that the thick glass between us buffered the sound, there


I AM NOT ALONE
My voice reminds me that I am not alone. And as I write and coach and sing, it reminds my readers, my clients, and my audience that they are not alone either. I believe there is such power in the voice and often it is underestimated. How many times have you heard someone say that they are unsure if anyone is ever listening, if what they have to say is important or worth someone else’s time? I happen to hear these things quite often as a coach who works with writers. (And, oh,


ALIGNING WITH EARTH'S HEARTBEAT; AN INTRO TO THE SCHUMANN RESONANCE
My interest in Schumann Resonance began over 20 years ago listening to the works of HeartMath Institute and Gregg Braden . Back then, Earth’s heartbeat was around 7.8 Hz. The level of consciousness and interconnectedness we had back then is somewhat limited compared to the level of mass awakening we are currently experiencing on the planet in 2020. Every day, I am meeting new people who say they have just woken up and are seeing reality for the first time. This is a very exc


3 KEYS TO HEALTHY SELF-EVOLUTION: Authentically Evolving In The Age of Spiritual Narcissism
We all have that friend who went to one therapy session, was cured, and promptly began to analyze the rest of our circle, amIright? Lesser common are those on the other end of the spectrum who think they have to have alllllll the personal growth before they have anything of value to share with others. I fell into this category for most of my life, believing my lessons were just that, my lessons. It never occurred to me that sharing my experience along the way might be benefi


THE RELEASE
To see it from a different vantage point, it could have been one of thousands of other birds who have traveled en route from one roost to the next on the updrafts above the crest of this hill. Seeing its climb, its aim toward the tree tops at the edge of the forest (or the edge of the field, depending upon the perspective of the beholder), could have been catching sight of the flight of any bird on any given day under a sunlit blue sky. Its flight gave no indication of recent
