Hey There Friends!
I'm here in my office today doing my best to not let this weather get to me. It's another rainy, cold day. I'm afraid we have not had many of those classic bright, sunny, blue sky, fall days here in Ohio this year. The reason that matters to me is because I'm someone who deals with SAD. It's not an incapacitating thing for me as it is for some. But still a very real challenge for me this time of year heading into winter. I've been down the road of medications etc but have opted to deal with it in a more natural way. One of the things I've discovered to be the best therapy for me is to focus on bringing as much virtual sunshine through music, laughter and fun to as many kids and families as possible. This happens in churches, schools, libraries and even house concerts.
I suspect that here in NE Ohio there are plenty of folks who might deal with a bit of the blues this time of year. I'm amazed at how powerfully we are able to combat those heavy feelings by simply coming together as family and friends to celebrate light, love and laughter with our children. You see I believe we all carry a little bit of light within ourselves and as we come together and I let my little bit of light shine with your little bit of light and so on and so forth well... amazing things can happen!
You can help me chase the blues away by requesting information about scheduling a Family Concert this fall/winter. I can work with just about any size venue from a theater to a children's bookstore. Drop me a line or click on the link here and let's make plans for a Brilliant Family Event!

Good luck, Chip, from a fellow Lakesider and SAD sufferer. If only every day could be like a July day at Lakeside! They probably wouldn't seem so special if that were the case, though. I give you credit for opening up like this...it's a tough subject and I wish you the best.
