Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

Beautiful, smooth music surrounds passionate, call to action vocals & lyrics in  “Free Mama Earth.”  All music, lead and background vocals have been recorded, but we need help to pay for editing, mixing, (production) mastering., etc. so we can release “Free Mama Earth,” rally people who care, and raise funds for Environmental Defense Fund and Nuclear Age…

We are in the 4th quarter of our “Free Mama Earth” charitable campaign to help save the environment for our children and future generations.  This morning as I reviewed the contributions ($1,650 raised of our $5,000 goal), it occurred to me “Free Mama Earth” is a metaphor for humanity’s  lackluster response to climate change &…

My favorite male vocalist of all time, visionary Marvin Gaye released “Mercy, Mercy, Me (The Ecology)” 44 years ago, but instead of getting better, global warming, radiation, extinction of species, worsened. “Free Mama Earth” passionately expresses my desire & determination to help save our ecology before it’s too late.

Nuclear Age Peace Foundation, one of the “Free Mama Earth”…

This morning I had a rough 6 miles run on the beach.  3 baby sea lions lay lifeless on the sand. From the stench, I guessed they had been there for a couple of days.  This cut me deep.  Instead of my usual meditative running clearing my head, all I could think about was climate…

My dear deceased mother used to say: “You got to GIVE to GET.” When I was a little girl, I did not understand why she gave money to the Missionary fund and Benevolent fund, but when new school year started, she could only afford to buy us 1 skirt and blouse (girls) 1 pants and…

I love making music; starting from an idea, a small seed, then hearing the beautiful, finished song. But there’s a whole lot of work that happens in between. Some think that once an artist goes into the studio and sings or plays his instrument into the microphone, that’s it.  Since I announced all of the…

Saving the environment through music is more than a slogan to me, it’s my passion. When you’re passionate about something, you want it just as much as you want breath. “Free Mama Earth” lets me simultaneously pursue my passion for music and saving the environment. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/free-mama-earth/x/10024608 The gritty video of me on the beach by…
