Happy New Day, New Path, New Legend…

Exactly a year ago, I wrote a bard’s blog called Happy New Day (click to read), a post that focused on making the most of every day you have.  I started today seeing off a great musician friend of mine from Vancouver who came to do some shows with me in Kelowna – Jen Miller  (Check out her stuff…she’s..dare I say..beyond radical in every way awesome!) – and followed that up with a reflective walk down the boardwalk near the Grand Hotel.

A great deal has happened this passed year, and I have loved every minute of the adventure, and everyone I have shared it with.  One of the major highlights was my experience in Nepal with Climb For Change.  Every day of that expedition was about discovery, exploring new paths, and sharing among our team new legends in the form of our shared story.

It was in the sacred Nar Phu Valley that I developed my now current philosophy – “New Day, New Path, New Legend,” and I thought it a fitting title for the 5 song album I wrote inspired by the journey.  From environmental commentary on responsibility, to questioning the usage of our words, “New Day, New Path, New Legend,” shines an inquisitive light on global cultural interactions and habits uncommonly spoken of, opening dialogue in search of truth, peace of mind, strength, and confidence in the growth of our society.  Two songs from the album – “Nepali Song,” and “Nishta,” were used in the documentary made from the expedition – Beyond The Gates of Phu, a film featured in the fall series of the Vancouver International Mountain Film Festival.

Every day is an opportunity to walk a new path – to create a new legend.  I challenge you to do just that in 2013.  So, without further ado, I give you my newest compilation (Click the cover):

Happy New Day, New Path, and all the best on your New Legend!
