Today, April 11th is the 48th anniversary of the passing of my brother Marc. I like to do positive things on this day now as it was a traumatizing and painful experience for me, my family, and our friends and neighbors.

I have a short story I want to tell you that took place between Marc and me in the back seat of my mom's car while driving out to Long Island to visit our grandparents. It wasn't funny at the time. But has become a fun memory for me and something I now do to drive my family nuts, LOL!

Ah, the feelings of young first love! Having lived for multiple decades, I appreciate my youthful experiences of falling in love. Well, "in like" is more like it at that age. 1974, as I approached my 12th birthday. A new classmate entered Horizon School. Her name was Peri Belleman.

I think every hormone in every part of my body came alive! Every move she made, I watched, every word she spoke, I listened. But in those days. I was shy when it came to talking to girls. Somehow, I found a way to talk with Peri, and a friendship started. And that rolled into her and me, becoming boyfriend and girlfriend.

What I could have never known was our hormones were about to be put on blast!

Music is healing. It's a powerful healer. It's an essential part of my healing practice. Along with music, there are six essentials that I use every day.
I created three of them and will share with you, and three have been recognized by doctors, gurus, healers, herbalists and coaches from all walks of life.

They are the BedRock of my life and what I know, and have come to believe to be the cornerstones of mental, emotional, and physical health.
