‘So long and so young and so beautiful', CAMÉLIA JORDANA and Arman bond over their love of Maria Callas in celebration of #ValentinoRendezVous. Between whispering harmonies of Calla's The Barber of Seville and Nina Simone's I Get Along Without You Very Well, Jordana explains her admiration for the women who came before her and their strength in communicating their powerful truths for the world, no matter how intense and sincere. Naming the “magic combo,” Jordana empathizes with the 'sadness, love and tenderness' throughout Nina Simone's repertoire.Growing up in an Algerian and Berber Kabyle family, Jordana describes music as a way of living, and rhythm a gift from her roots. Accompanying her mother to her singing classes at the tender age of two, she describes learning to sing at the same time as learning to speak deep inside her musical identity. The shared space between singing and speaking are felt not only as she shares the soundtrack to her life, but sings it too. Crediting Doris Day's Que Sera Sera as a steady source of inspiration to trust in the future, and trust in herself, Camélia says goodbye - taking a piece of all of our hearts with her.
If you'd been around in 1932 and had your ears on, you might have thought that songwriter Hoagy Carmichael had already peaked. Oh, sure, he'd been writing for only for about eight years, but, shoot, by then he'd already published … let's see… “Stardust” and “Georgia on My Mind,” “Rockin' Chair” and “Riverboat Shuffle” and “Up a Lazy River.” Those songs right there were enough to warrant a legacy chapter in the Great American Songbook. So, you'd've been forgiven in 1932 for not realizing our man Hoagy had another half century of great originals to bring us. Ahead lay … oh, “Lazybones” and “The Nearness of You,” “Heart and Soul” and “Memphis in June,” “Hong Kong Blues,” “I Get Along Without You Very Well,” “Ole Buttermilk Sky,” “In the Still of the Night,” “Skylark.” Heck, we could do Hoagy tunes all night long — and, well, sometimes we do. Here, from last night's Floodifying, is our first run at one of Carmichael's 1932 compositions, a sweet, sexy little tune simply called, “New Orleans.”

It's an ideal opportunity to delve deep and discover your true purpose and passion.Will the real you please stand up?

How can you practice more kindness, patience, love, and tolerance? Where can you be most helpful? When do you truly feel fruitful? What would your highest self say or do? Guest CallerJoanne from Glendale finds living with three family members during the Corona pandemic quite challenging. DrDebzz offers helpful tools on setting boundaries, e.g. scheduling anger by appointment only; speaking slowly, softly, sweetly, succinctly; and focusing on your own behavior rather than trying to change theirs, i.e. "Bless them, Change me."Weekly WOW (Words of Wisdom)“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
