Leela Music Newsletter, December 2009Michael Stribling Here's an overview of what you'll find in this issue:
During the second month of the international radio promotion for The Promise, the new CD reached the #2 spot on the Zone Music Reporter Top 100 List in November, for the second month in a row! On the horizon is the Zone Music Reporter Lifestyle Music Awards qualifying process, which begins in January. Here's hoping The Promise does well. Nominations are posted in February, I think, with the winners being announced in March. IKYP (I'll keep you posted).
As 2009 comes to an end, I'm taking a look back at the past year and looking forward to 2010. As I did a year ago, I reviewed this last year's newsletters, to take another look at what I had written. Here's a summary of the topics: January: We become what we think about and what we do, so choose well. February: Bring a little light into the world and help dispel the darkness. March: To get from Point A to Point B, you have to leave Point A. April: It's an inside job. May: Do all things out of love and gratitude. June: The only constant is change. Embrace it. July: Find out where the button is, and don't push it. August: Let things happen. All in good time. September: Reconnect with nature; reconnect with yourself. October: Ready. Set. Grow. November: Tend the bonfires. And enlighten the world. December: a reflection on the past year, and a look to the future. It has been another wonderful year. Here's looking forward to 2010 being even better. I wish you all the best for a Happy New Year.
