Leddy Hammock Inspired by lyrics from “Peace, Return to Me” by Sue Riley, Richard Mekdeci, & Patricia Bahia: When I'm feelin' far from home, peace return to me. In the chaos of the storm, peace return to me. When I feel I'm all alone, peace return to me. When it seems I can't go on, peace return to me. When I feel I'm not enough, peace return to me. When I'm ruled by fear and not by love, peace return to me. When forgiveness can't be found, Peace return to me. When I'm standing here on shaky ground, peace return to me. Peace be still, Peace be still, in the heart of everything. Peace be still, peace be still, peace return to me.

When this singer/songwriter moved from Nashville to Unity Village just outside of Kansas City, he was just getting started.  As the president and co-founder of Empower Music and Arts and the Empower Music Festival, he created a communal experience in support of Posi musicians that is fast approaching its third decade.  Still a troubadour at heart, now Reverend Richard Mekdeci is both a fine musician and, undeniably, a pivotal figure in New Thought.Richard Mekdeci - emPowerMAMekdeci, Rev.

Leddy Hammock Inspired by lyrics of the song There Are Moments, by Sue Riley, Richard Mekdeci, and Harold Payne The first breath of the morning whispers in my ear: ‘You've got it all inside you.' I open my heart and it appears! Even in an ordinary day in an ordinary life, there's beauty all around me when I look up to see it. I don't want to miss the rainbows! There are moments, there are moments, where magic happens unexpectedly. There are moments, precious moments, where the wonder of the world is all I see.

Carol Record Inspired by lyrics to “Still Yourself” by Richard Mekdeci and Mario Friedel “Your path is true. There's a guiding light that shines inside of you.” “Still yourself. Still yourself. In the silence you will find your way.” “Still yourself. Still yourself. Still yourself and heal yourself. The strength you seek is just a breath away.” “Strength flows from stillness like a fountain, Like a mountain against the sky.” I am still and I am strong.

Leddy Hammock Lyrics to “Centered in the Storm” by Richard Mekdeci, Karen Taylor-Good & Richard Patier” “I close my eyes and calm my soul, I feel the Truth within me and I let It take control.   …  I'm centered in the storm and I know I'm not alone, The thunder is the voice of God leading me home.     When I'm centered in the storm where it's always safe and warm, I see a beacon in the night keeping me

Leddy Hammock Lyrics to “Do What I Can Do” by Sue Riley, Richard Mekdeci, and Gary Lynn Floyd: “Look around, what do I see? Good or bad, it's up to me. My world reflects what I believe. Here's what I believe. I know there's good in everyone. I know the best is yet to come. Look out world, ‘cause I'm not done, I've only just begun…. I'll choose compassion over fear, release my love into the atmosphere. Like a single wave in an endless sea, any change begins with me. And, when I feel I'm all alone, I'll remember, one drop of water smooths a stone. Gonna, love like crazy, shine like gold, be courageous, break the mold. Can't do it all, but this much is true. I can do what I can do.”

Leddy Hammock Inspired by lyrics to “God Is” by Richard Mekdeci, based on the “Prayer for Protection” by James Dillet Freeman: “In the morning when I rise and before I close my eyes, Anytime I'm in despair, I just speak this little prayer — When the cold winds start to blow and they beat upon your door, Every night will have its dawn, hold this thought as you hold on — We all hear the Spirit call. It's a small world after all. Bound together in and through this one common, simple Truth: God's light surrounds us, God's love enfolds us; God's power protects us; The presence of God watches over us; Wherever we are, GOD IS!”

Leddy Hammock Inspired by lyrics to “Centered in the Storm” by Richard Mekdeci, Karen Taylor-Good & Richard Patier” “I close my eyes and calm my soul, I feel the Truth within me and I let It take control.  I'm centered in the storm and I know I'm not alone, The thunder is the voice of God leading me home. When I'm centered in the storm where it's always safe and warm, I see a beacon in the night keeping me centered in the storm …. Fed by the love that exists in all creation and I will never drift off course. Faith is my anchor and God is my Source…. and set adrift upon this changing sea, I'm right where I'm supposed to be ….”

Leddy Hammock Lyrics to “I Know Who You Really Are” — Words and Music by Richard Mekdeci, Sue Riley, Sage Riley “I know who you really are, I see it in your eyes. Oh, you are a shining star, I know who you really are. I know who you’re here to be, I see it in your eyes. A light for the world to see, I know who you’re here to be. You’re here to be the one, you’re here to make it fun. You’ve really got my head spinning. You brighten every room, you always leave too soon And, this is just the beginning. I know who you really are, I see it in your eyes. Oh, you are a shining star, I know who you really are. You are incredible, so unforgettable — The one that everyone’s eyeing. You are an awesome friend, and so magnificent, And, there is just no denying. I know who you really are, I see it in your eyes. Oh, you are a shining star, I know who you really are.”

Leddy Hammock Inspired by “Show Up” by Richard Mekdeci, Glen Roethel, and Claudia Carawan: I want to show up as love, hold the door open for everyone, fill the room below to above. I want to show up as love.”I want to show up as peace, see no brother as the least, listen more than I speak. I want to show up as love. I want to show up as peace. I’m here to make the best of it – to give a lot and take only a bit. I want to show up as Truth. What you get is a hundred proof. In all I say and all I do, I want to show up as Truth. I want to show up as joy, like a child with a brand new toy. I’ll spread it, share it, fill the void. I want to show up as joy. Show up!

Leddy Hammock Inspired by lyrics by Richard Mekdeci to”Just a Little Faith” “Everywhere I look, I see endless possibilities, and I know all I need is just a little faith.” I center myself in the multiplying power of faith. I give thanks, even for the little I have, and I share it, for all I have to add is just a little faith. I don’t give doubt a chance, when the storms of life are blowing. Just a little faith will get me where I’m going. I ask and know that I’ll receive. I act as if I do believe. Just a little faith is all I’ll ever need.

Leddy Hammock from lyrics to “The Part of Me that Is You” by Richard Mekdeci and Sue Riley – “When the world tells me I’m less than whole, I hear these words, spoken from my soul: ‘A child of Mine does not inherit disease,’ and I remember what my heart already knows.” “The part of me that is You knows only health and wholeness, the part of me that is You, knows only love and joy. The part of me that is You, is divine and ageless like a compass pointing to a north that’s true.” “You are the Source of who I am. I am a child of Light.” “I bless the part of me that is You.”

Leddy Hammock Inspired by lyrics by Richard Mekdeci and Mario Friedel: When I still myself . . . . . . my path is true, for God’s guiding light shines inside of me. . . . I find my balance as I hear God’s voice calling from deep inside. . . . the strength I seek is just a breath away. . . . in the Silence, I find my way, as I am calm and still.
