SWEETWATER AND THE SATISFACTION
"SMOKE SIGNALS"

Smoke Signals
from Sweetwater & The Satisfaction by Sweetwater and the Satisfaction

https://sweetwaterandthesatisfaction.bandcamp.com/track/smoke-signals

Years ago, singer-songwriter Alana Sweetwater was featured in the Popdose.com feature on "Overnight America With Jon Grayson." Since then, it has been astonishing that her career has not taken off more than it has. She has done well in her adopted hometown, Los Angeles, California; but it would have been easy to imagine her doing even better. She writes strong songs and performs well, both with a band and as a solo act. Sounds like a complete package to me. Lately, Sweetwater has been characterized as an authenticity coach, maybe something like a specialized self-help promoter. Here is a possibly tear-bringing video that she posted quite recently.

It is well worth watching for those trying to be true to themselves. Half a century ago, Society of Friends (Quaker) Back Benchers, along a similar line, spoke of being present where you are.

Boston and London singer-songwriter Eileen Rose, who has had pop-rock success, especially with Fledgling and later with the album "Shine Like It Does," has had good success as the author of self-help books.

Hello #Quaker #Friends

My Meeting's monthly 'Worship with Attention to Business mtg' is next Sunday - in theory, they'll read my membership request letter aloud & set up my #ClearnessCommittee

I've journaled a lot about things I feel may be relevant (religious background, personal beliefs, thought on the SPICES, etc ..) & I think I'm prepped.

Any suggestions on Queries to meditate about before that? Other thoughts? Thanks!

#MiddleClassProblems

I'm mildly frustrated with an issue that will probably be resolved after one of my coworkers gets back from vacation in 2 weeks.

I want to start attending a #FriendsMeeting this #Sunday , but the co-worker who was going to cover every-other-Sunday for me got a weekly gig at a different #church

I ain't mad about it - I'm glad he has this opportunity. I just wish the timing was better for me.

Rediscovering a ford on the River Leven: last captured in 1998

The other day, out of nowhere, I was jolted back to the year 1998 when a long-forgotten photograph emerged out of cyberspace. It shows the ford on the River Leven, nestled gracefully into the grounds of the Friends' School at Great Ayton. Astonishingly, I have no recollection of ever capturing this moment, and the realisation that 26 yea ...
