Dear Community,


As we all know, water is the life blood of our planet. We need clean water not only to survive, but to thrive in the presence of it's wonder and beauty!

That is why for one week I will be donating 40% of my prayers for the water CD sales to our beloved water protectors at Standing Rock. You have until noon on Dec. 6th to place your orders from my website. Both digital and hard copies are available. If you place orders on Amazon or iTunes or CDbaby, I will not be able to track immediate proceeds, just FYI. 

If you do not know of this album already, you can find out more here:

And as always, 10% of proceeds will go to our local Santa Cruz non-profit
Save Our Shores.
I've had the absolute honor of donating hundreds of dollars this year to SOS, supporting them in their stewardship and education programs, river and beach clean-ups, and clean boating and plastic pollution initiatives.    

Water is life for all of us, not just some of us. We are all in this together and I'm feeling deeply grateful for those who are leading the way in the movement to protect and honor our precious resource.
