    Tickling the ivories for a season

    Paperskinalbumartwork_sm Tonight was the official CD release party for singer-songwriter Kendall Payne's new CD Paper Skin. Payne is an artist who has experienced firsthand the highs and lows of the music industry, so it's good to see that she has persevered and endured through it all as she hit the stage tonight in Los Angeles to share her new music.

Regardless of your spiritual beliefs, I strongly believe in the message of the Secret in that there are unseen forces (positive-negative, yin-yang, God-Satan, or whatever you want to call it) in and around us and you can use it to work for you or against you. I chose it use it to work for me.

    So when I was pitched to review Deepak Chopra's The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success DVD, I happily agreed because Deepak is someone who I enjoy and greatly respect. Sadly, I have had the DVD sitting on my desk as a constant reminder to review it for nearly two months now, and my guilt level for not getting to it increased with each passing week, so this week, I finally took the time to watch and review it.
