That Old EP
If I ever get "famous", anyone who owns a copy of the of my 2005 EP "CUT AND COLOR" will own a piece of history -because it will never be printed again and the last copy of it just sold on Nov 1st. It will always be available digitally on MP3, though, at: http://www.cdbbay.com/moorea2 There were very, very few copies ever made (75!) If I signed it for you, I guess that makes you one of the very few, very cool.

Living With Uncertainty and Detachment.
The funny thing about "not knowing" the outcome of a situation is that we can hold so much potential, and so much hope in that moment! If you choose to be positive, you get to live in the beautiful daydream of your best case scenario. Yes, I'm talking about the election which is slowly unfolding as I write this, but I'm also talking about everything else.
It seems quite ironic to me that as I'm finally mastering the art creating my own happiness- that all of a sudden life would just get ten times easier. I'm so glad to have turned a year older in October. I do notice that for many people, responsibility becomes more and more natural as we age and I am convinced that happiness is all about responsibility. But taking responsibility can only make you happy if you can get detached from your own controlling egoic desires. It's sort of like that famous prayer:
"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference."
I found the person I'm going to marry (first I had to let go of the idea of ever marrying)- but then I've got the stress of a wedding- which I can take responsibility for but I can't control whether the more clinically insane family members do anything weird. I also can't control the weather or whether the caterer is having a good day.
I made the album of my dreams which was all about control- but then I have to promote it and make a tour for it which depends on music biz people and promoters deeming me worthy- which I have no control over.
My favorite life coaching clients might have to leave in financial hard times and I have to let them go - But then they often come back and with a new enthusiasm!
Oh its no bed of roses being self-employed- and its financially chaotic. But somehow I've learned how to navigate the completely terrifying uncertainty of my unusual life choices. I also know that I'm completely unhappy when I'm not putting my all into the two things I love, music and life coaching.
And through my painful, unstable, broke and confused path, I've found some pretty impressive tools for speeding up learning responsibility, non-attachment, letting go, and stellar intuition--and it's really fun to teach them to my coaching clients!
I had this beautiful group of people in my living room this Sunday and we meditated for Obama and visualized the healing of our nation and world (we tried to do it without attachment to the outcome or being aversive toward the other candidate) and it occurred to me that living in the midst of uncertainty can be incredibly peaceful.

Reminder: I'll be touring east coast, Midwest and Toronto in March and west coast in the April. If you want me to come to your town or a particular venue, please email me and I'll tell you how to help me make it happen. You can also house a house concert, it's pretty easy to do. Email mooreamalatt@hotmail.com
So much love to everyone!! I have to go practice living in uncertainty now as I watch the election updates.
