PHOTOSCHMOOZER: Camden Adventure Aquarium and US: Perfect Together!!

BE STILL...and SEE Photography

Reflecting on who I am...what is important to me...and the gifts I offer the world, I have reorganized this PhotoSchmoozer blog into separate pages for your viewing. I am about so much...people - relationships - drums and rhythms and especially photography...and I realize that although separate, they are all so INTEGRATED into the Whole of who I am!! It's a very peaceful thought and I am thankful for the intuitive gift to see the connections and the relationships. Enjoy the journey through the blog...and WELCOME.
Contemplative photography is about being totally present and seeing exactly what is before you, without filters or judgment. It is about seeing with your heart.Doesn't everyone see what is before them? Not really. You may see a candle on a table. Do you also see the shadows it creates? Or the reflections that the light casts on it? Or it's underlying shape and form?

Camden Adventure Aquarium and US: Perfect Together!!

Ever have one of those days that, at the end, you can sit back and say, "This was pretty close to as perfect as it can be?" Well, I can put October 6, 2010 in that category. This was to be a 'family be together day' and that it was! We started out at Sam Asch, just checking out all of the instruments. I bought one DVD from Drums of Passion to enjoy and drum with. Then lunch at the Silver Diner - they have a new menu that they introduced today - Farm to Table, emphasizing the local farmers and how fresh and healthy the food is that they serve. Quite good and there might be a post on Jon's blog next week about it all. Then we headed to Camden to go to the Adventure Aquarium - in all of the years that it has been open, we have never gone, so today was our one time! After that, home to cook dinner together, drink some good wine and watch a mighty mediocre movie. The lesson from it all: Have no expectations and you will be rewarded!!

Now hope you take the time to see the videos I took of the sea creatures. They are totally beautiful and so peaceful/relaxing. Enjoy.

What fun to make Homemade Drums!

In September, 2010, I attended the Remo drum company's HealthRHYTHMS training. It was a fantastic 2 1/2 day event - learning about hand drumming and drum circles and the variety of ways that these activities are beneficial to people. Dr. Barry Bittman shared some of the exciting research that he has done that provides evidence of the benefits to participants - team building, stress reduction, FUN, spirit, communication and... Christine Stevens was our co-facilitator - an open free spirit who guided us in drum circle facilitation and then Alyssa Janney shared all of the ins and outs of the business/marketing piece for Certified HealthRHYHTMS facilitators. That I am after the training and fun...and meaningful it is. Call me to talk about scheduling a training event or a series for your friends, co-workers or community: 856-256-8380.
At the training, I talked with Roy and he shared how he had made drums (so had Julie...and a few others) They sent us info about sonotubes and how to make drums. The rest has been persistent exploration from my curious husband (with my helping hands) and then my sense of fun in decorating them!! People are beginning to ask to buy them. Why not?!?
