As someone who has given Ukulele lessons in the past (I don’t have anyone currently), I really enjoyed Andrea Miller’s interview with Judy Naillon on starting a Ukulele program. I wish I had this podcast when I first started!

Avocado Time (Seth Godin)
“Face-to-face is like a perfect avocado. The cost of in-sync time, real-time interaction time, that’s time that we don’t get again.”
[Peanut Butter Sandwiches and] The Order of Operations (Seth Godin)
“Like so many things, the order is not optional.”

A free digital download of a really fun and unique song written by Canadian composer Lynette Sawatsky called “Covid Blessing”.
From the composer:
I wrote the piece based on a C°VID motif (the letter C, a diminished chord (°), the dominant chord (V), the tonic chord (I), and the letter D). A little nerdy, but musicians understand. 🙂
I think we are all getting a little weary, and this music helped me process a bit of what I am experiencing. This short piece is my musical blessing for those who are alone and isolated. It’s a prayer as we wait for better days ahead.
How beautiful and clever is that?!

I think we can all use a little reminder from time to time of healthy ways of using social media. 🙂

New podcast discovery this month: Sounds of Encouragement with Melissa Slocum.
If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen me post a story that said her voice reminded me of the old radio show host, Deliah, from the ’90s! She’s so soothing to listen to! LOL
