Hurricanes and earthquakes on the east coast. Wildfires and droughts in Texas. Ongoing political debates and stalemates in Washington. Worries about the economy and concerns about future direction of the country.

I don’t know about you – but I feel pretty overwhelmed every time I turn on the news or read the paper. Everywhere I turn there seems to be more bad news and something else to stress about.

So often – I’m ready to say ENOUGH!!!!! What I’d really like instead of the chaos and stress would be a sense of calm and peace in my life. Some of the best ways I’ve found to reconnect with the serenity I love to experience are to head out and photograph or to meditate. I’ll often meditate to a soundtrack of a running creek in the woods with birds in the trees or to the music of my favorite Celtic Harpist Pamela Bruner

I would love to help bring a few minutes of calm and peace to your day if your days are as stressful as mine can be. I’ve created a series of videos featuring my photographs and Pamela Bruner’s incredible harp music. I released my newest video – Lotuses and Water Lilies – earlier this month.

I would love to hear what you think of my videos – and especially if they do help bring a few minutes of calm into your day
