I love this piece……”Silencio” by the great Beethoven. It’s melody is calming and just right for a Sunday morning with a hot, steaming cup of coffee! Relax, sit back and enjoy as you listen and plan your day! Wishing all of my readers the very best Sunday!

Samuel Barber’s Adagio for Strings has to be one of the most beautiful classical works ever composed. The crescendo of the violins as the piece builds is so inspiring to me. I like to use Sunday’s to plan the coming week. It is a time to rest, relax, attend services and be with family. Beginning Sunday with music such as this feeds my soul in a way nothing else can. I hope you’ll love this piece as much as I do. I turn it up full blast so that the house almost vibrates with the energy of the strings as they glisten with their song. I find it to be healing, calming and centering. Listen and please enjoy!

I love the movie “Meet Joe Black”. The character Anthony Hopkins plays is so perfect for him as he realizes his life is coming to an end. All of his millions of dollars cannot stop his transition from this life. Brad Pitt’s role of “Death” in the guise of Joe Black is played with such sensitivity. The music I’m featuring today is by Thomas Newman, “That Next Place”, which is part of the soundtrack to this wonderful film. If you’ve never seen “Meet Joe Black” or it’s been some time since you have I’d recommend it highly. I hope you’ll enjoy this beautiful peace as you begin this Sunday! Savor every moment of each day as the gift that it is!

I love the music of Vaughn Williams, especial the Tallis Fantasy. What a beautiful way to begin Sunday! This is the perfect accompaniment to morning meditation, quietly sorting through what you want the day to be. I’m back to planning family dinners, special time together and savoring each moment as it comes on this new day. Enjoy this soulful composition. It always lifts my spirits and I hope it will yours!
Simple Sundays
Living in the now, letting go of the past and experiencing life moment by moment! It’s a never ending challenge to be able to do this. As humans we’re so used to rushing here and there….busy, busy, busy! Today, take a moment to observe nature and how it simply IS. If you have a pet they will show you what it means to live in the moment. We are the only group of beings who have to plan, scheme, stress and worry. I look Murphy and see how he’s satisfied with waking up each morning, his furry little tail twitching with excitement as I let him out in the yard each morning. He is a creature of habit and loves his routine…change is not his friend. If we could get into the practice of simply being….how nice it would be.
On that note, I’m sharing a song by Joshua Radin that speaks to this subject. “It’s A Brand New Day” is a sweet piece that I hope you’ll enjoy and pass along today! Have a wonderfully simply Sunday!

On this lovely Sunday morning take a moment to click in and listen to this wonderful recording of two cellos performing the piece, “Benedictus”. It’s so beautifully play, it brings tears to my eyes. I have to thank one of dearest friends, Carolyn Troupin, for sending this to me as an option for a Sunday post. I think you’ll love it…..feel inspired and moved to do something today you have been dreaming of and just haven’t made the time for! Wishing you a blessed Sunday full of love and miracles!

I’ve been enjoying the new Starz series “Outlander” based on the books by Diana Galbadon. The concept of time travel has always fascinated me as well as anything to do with Scotland, Ireland and Celtic lore. I also love good Celtic music. Loreen McKennitt, with her haunting voice and melodies is always a favorite. Enjoy listening to her recording, “The Two Trees” this morning as you ease into your day! It’s Sunday…..do whatever brings you joy!

Enjoy the lovely sound of Lindsey Stirling as she plays “River Flows In You”. This is the last weekend of a long, hot summer. One I feel like I sat on the sidelines of as healing continues. I cannot believe tomorrow is already Labor Day. I’ll be taking a rest from blogging, but there will be something special on the site for you to enjoy! Wishing you all a wonderful Sunday where all of your dreams can come true.

Enjoy the beautiful music of Marcus Viana on this quiet Sunday morning. Sit, relax and renew. What will you do to make this day special. How will you nurture yourself? Make it a special day, spent with special people…..seize the day!

“Art of Noise” is one of my favorites musical groups. Their recording of “Island” is so relaxing….and the video…absolutely beautiful! I hope you’ll enjoy this offering for your Sunday morning listening. It’s not a long piece, but viewed full screen I think you’ll love it! Wishing you a wonderfully relaxing day…..wherever you may be!
