I am happy to report that I love being back in Santa Barbara.  Things are going well in many areas of my life.  Living downtown is amazing because I can ride my bike anywhere I need to go, especially the beach!  Flute wise I have been slowly getting back into shape as my arms have been improving everyday.  It really feels like there is a connection to my internal happiness with the pain in my arms.  While I know that there are many physical ways to help this pain subside,  if I am emotionally clear or happy the outcome and pressure I put on myself to heal is not so important.  I know I will be able to play and things seem to be working out.

I have also spent a lot of energy with my friend Erin McKibben on creating a professional flute duo.  We continue to brainstorm and everyday make new plans and ideas of how we can share our music.  It is fulfilling to both of us I believe because we get to play music together and possibly make some money doing what we love.  Our newest idea for a flute name is Silver Wind, which we both like and would be happy to hear anyones opinion.   Sending my love.
