Most people know me from my public life as a symphonic conductor, host/broadcaster, and key-note speaker. Many have commented through the years on my energy, enthusiasm, and zest for life. I would like to share with you something of my private life - the source of my passion, focus, and energy.

 

MY MANTRA

Embrace gratitude; love unconditionally; encourage enthusiastically; listen patiently; serve truthfully; celebrate fabulously; live fully!

Spirituality

Yoga is my daily practice. It opens my heart; calms my mind; fires my spirit. Yoga brings me home to myself to a place from which I connect intimately with those people I serve. Learn more

Health:

My daily commitment is to maintain a balance of spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical health. I nourish myself with intention; eat organic and low glycemic; grow and share my own vegetables; choose foods that charge me to thrive.

Motion is key to my physical health. Yoga, gardening, cycling, swimming (preferably outside), walking, and weight training keep me fit and vibrant.

Nutrition is paramount to me. I enhance my food with the best supplements in the world and it is my honor and pleasure to share them with my friends and family and anyone who want optimal health.

Nature:

My garden is a delight. I share it with all who wish to enter. Nature is all its wondrous form inspires me every day. Learn more

 

REFLECTION:

Meditation is the key to maintaining my center. From that place and in that space I find intimate connection both to myself and to those I serve. Reading informs my awareness, broadens my perspective, and opens my mind to continuous learning.

MUSIC:

I continue to conduct. In May 2013 I returned to China for the fourth time for a concert with the Shenzhen Symphony. Every evening I conclude the day with playing at the piano. The melodies are simple chorales or music of J.S. Bach. The effect is a blessing on my home and a prayer for peace in my heart.
