Hummingbirds are starting to head north. ✨

Hummingbird fans rejoice! The ruby-throated hummingbirds are on their way back to the eastern US after spending the winter in Mexico and South America.

Sue Foley’s book is *done*. Her PhD in Musicology from York University, is complete too.

A huge congratulations is to be offered up, on this amazing work, which took very many years to accomplish. 🙂

Musical side note:

It’s official.
My long-anticipated book, Guitar Women: Conversations and Life Lessons with Six String Heroines, is now available for pre-order.

Seeing it live on Amazon, cover and all, is surreal. This book has lived in my head, my notebooks, and my hard drive for years. Holding it in public for the first time is 🤯

Here’s what it’s about:

Every generation carries myths about the guitar. Who gets to hold it. Who gets to define it. What it means to play it. Guitar Women moves past those myths through intimate conversations with women who shaped the instrument’s sound and story.

Part oral history, part memoir, part cultural reckoning, the book spans generations and genres, featuring artists like Bonnie Raitt, Nancy Wilson, Charo, Suzi Quatro, Joan Armatrading, and Sharon Isbin.

Writing from the inside, as a touring guitarist, I approach these conversations as lived experience. What emerges is a lineage built on persistence, artistry, and devotion to the instrument, told in the artists’ own words.

Official release date: May 12
Published by Sutherland House (Toronto)

This is just the beginning. More soon.

If you have been looking for a therapist who can easily spend an hour of detailed, regional, small-space work in the posterior & anterior neck, traps, etc. …then you have come to the right place.

Work in both the head & neck region, for issues such as migraine headaches, TMJ pain and pulsatile tinnitus (aka “whooshers”), constitutes a good portion of my practice.

Please call if you have any questions. I will take time to answer them, so you can make an informed decision as to if I might be a fit for your needs. 😌

We’ve been selling my late father’s collection for the better part of a year now… and two pages worth of items are now gone.

While it’s not easy, progress is being made.

We sell via PayPal Goods & Services, and have sold as far away as France.

I also keep a few of our sold items up on the Hold/Sold page, so those who don’t know us can feel more comfortable about reaching out (𝘱𝘩𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘴 𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦).

With your help, I hope to have them all gone by Dec. 2026. 😌

As always, thanks so much for your support.

Years ago a wonderful client gave me this link, attached it into my new iPhone at the time, and it has always served me well.

I always think of her generosity during moments like this. ❤️

It’s so funny how looking at my fake plants, sitting outside during a winter storm, is so good for my soul. 🪴

The brain knows they are fake… and yet, I feel so amazingly accomplished! ❤️

And, yes, that is a fake grass carpet out there too! 🤣

Enjoy. 😊

This is useful, if you end up on a beach. 👍

I added in the first one, because we’ve been watching Bondi Rescue, and I learned about these red & yellow flags (I’m not sure they are particular to the “gulf coast”, but I feel like they are important to know about, in general).

I like this, because you can see that it is similar to traffic lights. 🙂

Want your massage session to have something other than the normal type of relaxation music? You are *always* welcome to bring in what helps you rest, chillax, or even get pepped back up from the day going awry.

That’s why I have the CD player in the office. 🙂

For me, I can easily chill and receive bodywork to this:
