“…and it seems like yesterday, I was a child.” My Second Music Video, Time on Fire with Debra Hadraba
December 18th, 2009Working with Debra Hadraba is an effortless “task” thanks to her innate capacity to spontaneously animate her songs. She calls it “working from the heart.” There has been much written about the heart-mind connection. Lots of it covers all of the negative emotions and their effect on health and well being. But there is another school of thinking that delves into “heart-smartness.”
Doc Lew Childre and Howard Martin, authors of The HeartMath Solution: The Institute of HeartMath’s Revolutionary Program for Engaging the Power of the Heart’s Intelligence have a lot to say on the subject. One Amazon reviewer explains, “The “intelligence” that they focus on refers to both the heart’s “brain,” or the 40,000 neurons found in the heart (the same number in the brain itself), and the intuitive signals the heart sends, including feelings of love, happiness, care, and appreciation.”
This seems to be the same wavelength Debra operates on…
Together we are learning to create a whole new spectrum of “enhanced CDs” – ones that not only include regular music that plays in any standard electronic device, but also an additional collection of multi-media content accessible through a computer. The “Time on Fire” CD will include video e-books, our music videos, lyric sheets and more.
You can find out more about her work, order a copy of “Time on Fire” – and if you act before midnight on December 21, 2009 your name can be listed on the CD jacket as a Sustaining Patron. Details are at her Website: HonorYourTruth.com.
Special thanks to my neighbor, Kevin Nordahl for building and igniting the enormous bonfire featured in the above…


Many recent films display an ASL of under five seconds per shot: “The Departed” (3.2 seconds), “Dreamgirls” (2.5 seconds), “Casino Royale” (3.4 seconds), “Sweeney Todd” (4 seconds). On the other hand, some films have notably longer ASLs: “The Darjeeling Limited” (8.2 seconds), “There Will Be Blood” (13.5 seconds), “Paranoid Park” (16.5 seconds).
