Why the song isn’t about sadness and life isn’t either. I just saw the movie Song Sung Blue, and when it ended, the song stayed with me.

From its humble inception in the late 20th century, the World Wide Web has grown into something monumental and expansive.
Recently, I have been reading, writing, and talking a great deal about the energy people generate and how it affects us, our health, our lives, and those around us. I know from everything I’ve studied that everyone generates energy, and the quality of that energy impacts how we feel, how we heal, and how we experience life.

This is a time to embrace the possibilities and to harness the optimism that fuels my ambitions.
