Reggae on the River 2014

When we arrived at Reggae on the River it was 105 degrees and sweltering. The concert bowl was dusty as we moseyed through to the other side looking for a swimming hole to dip in and cool off. Worried there wouldn’t be enough water in the Eel River, we were delighted to find plenty enough to swim in and feel refreshed.

Once the sun began to go down, the crowd started coming out of their shade hideouts to rebel in Reggae and dance the night away.

All the music was fantastic. There was never a dull moment. One of my favorite new acts of the weekend was Meta and the Cornerstones.

Thanks Reggae on the River and Sol Solutions for a great weekend!

Post OCF & Wanderlust!

After 10 days on the road in my Eurovan, I’m glad to be back home, doing laundry and catching up with email and friends. Oregon was beautiful and green. Tahoe was stormy and dramatic!

I felt blessed to stop for at least 2 swims a day in the many clean and clear rivers along the way.

In Tahoe, I agreed to bless and drop a crystal into my nearest waterway on September 21st, as part of a massive global water healing event. You can learn more about this event at: http://www.aqualuz.org

On the music front, DPS (Dysphunctional Species) and Ancient Mystic will be getting you on your feet at Hopmonk Tavern in Novato on Friday, July 25th at 9pm. Buy tickets here: http://www.hopmonk.com/novato/music-and-events/
