Don't Die With your Music Still in You

If you need a little dose of inspiration, this week's pocast did it for me and will undoubtedly do it for you as well: http://conniebowman.com/happyhealthyyou/2014/08/dont-die-with-your-music-still-in-you/
If you have been a fan of Wayne Dyer as have I, you will be happy to hear that his daughter Serena is following in her Dad's footsteps as author and teacher. In her late twenties, Serena is passionate about human rights and so many other things. She's got her head screwed on straight and does she ever love her family! Her book, which she co-authored with her famous Dad, "Don't Die With Your Music Still In You" is full of stories about what it was like to grow up in the Dyer household. She is candid about her parent's separation and other challenging family issues. But the love she has for her family is strong and the inspiration she has taken from both her Mom and her Dad is apparent. Take a listen to the podcast here:  http://conniebowman.com/happyhealthyyou/2014/08/dont-die-with-your-music-still-in-you/

  And please give us a little like on the facebook page or a comment!  XO, Connie

What I have learned from "BE"ing a Podcast Producer

To be is to do - Socrates To do is to be- Sartre Do Be Do Be Do - Sinatra As I near the end of my year-long podcast experiment, I am struck by the interesting juxtaposition of podcast guests and subjects. It is fascinating really – the almost miraculous balance of both DOing and BEing right here on this beautiful happy, healthy landing page! When the idea came in to create this podcast I really did not have a clue where we were going. I just went with it. And from the very first podcast with my beautiful daughter Caroline (Doer) to the awesome interviews with authors Todd Henry, Max Strom and David Mercier (BEers) I have learned so much about living a happy healthy life and I am so grateful. Maybe we have hit on something here. Perhaps it’s that balance of the feminine aspect of sitting with ourselves and just “BEING” and the more masculine “DOING” that creates the life that really works. Just noticing here. More on this later, I am sure. But as we wind up this wonderful year of exploration and contemplation, I ask you to think about how you balance the DOing with the BEing in your life. It’s a good question, yes?
