Wanted to post something with some happy, peaceful music — and of course to say something about the AIDS Walk. But mostly I wanted to post a meta-free place where people can take a deep breath & listen to some happy, peaceful tunes.
It is September, though, and the Walk is only 6 weeks away, so if you can, please donate, even $5, to my AIDS Walk Austin page
So yesterday, this song popped into my head. I haven’t heard it in years, but I took it as a sign
AIDS Walk Austin is about getting together to help people. Research is great – I saw a story last week about another possible breakthrough. But what AIDS Walk Austin does is raise money to help people who are sick, right now. Food bank, discounted meds, specialized dental services – these are all things that people affected by HIV & AIDS need & what the organizations benefitting from the Walk do.
There has been a lot of yelling & fighting lately. I just want the answer to one question:
One place where there is love is at the Wright House, one of the beneficiaries. They provide wellness services, holistic medicine, transportation services and other ways of helping people with HIV& AIDS. You can help them so this by donating: my AIDS Walk Austin page
and this song is perhaps even more relevant today than when it was released:
People affected by HIV & AIDS need specialized dental services. ASA’s Jack Sansing Dental Clinic provides routine and emergency dental care for people living with HIV and AIDS. When you donate, you make this possible.
And here’s a song about the really important things in life ( I picked a “lyrics” version instead of a performance version because I like the words, but they are great performers, you should check them out) One of the things he sings about is a chance to give back:
and here’s me a couple of years ago, talking about why I’ve done this walk every year:
And because no diary of mine would be complete without hearing from my boys, here’s the last word – Love & Peace:
Post your favorite peace & love themed music. And once again, please donate at my AIDS Walk Austin page
