Heralding from the mountains of Ashland, Oregon, Wilderland features singer-songwriters Scott Blum and Kat Sanchez. A veteran from the music industry, Blum (multimedia producer for Peter Gabriel, Soundgarden and many others) balances the exquisite vocal stylings of Sanchez who had been a member of a wide range of local bands most of her life.

After writing several original songs, the musicians began collaborating with renowned underground DJ and multi-instrumentalist Rara Avis (Desert Dwellers, Shaman’s Dream) to realize their musical vision. It was during these studio sessions that the Gulf Oil Spill tragedy happened which deeply affected all involved in the project. Ironically, the song “Fragile Day” was being worked on at that very moment, and when explaining the song’s lyrics to Avis, Blum realized that a powerful synchronicity was afoot. The song included the lyric “Fish are dimming while they’re swimming / Blackened ocean of foam” which, although written nearly two years prior, was about fish dying because of an oil spill. Credit is given to Blum’s wife Madisyn Taylor who suggested that “Fragile Day” be released immediately with all proceeds benefiting the habitat affected by the oil spill.

Also touched by the environmental tragedy, music industry superstars Toby Wright (Grammy award winning producer of Alice in Chains, Korn, 3 Doors Down, etc.) and Stephen Marcussen (mastering engineer for the Rolling Stones, Stevie Wonder, Seal, Cher, Paul McCartney, etc.) both contributed their expertise to this worthwhile project.

You can download two versions of “Fragile Day” by Wilderland with 100% of the proceeds donated to three important charities helping the habitat affected by the Gulf Oil Spill Tragedy. These organizations include The Gulf Restoration Network, EarthShare and the WILD Foundation.

I am a strong believer in the value of creating a community. When we feel isolated and disconnected to those around us, our problems seem to appear bigger than they actually are. But when we reach out and share our challenges and fears with others, it not only makes us feel normal, but also belonged and accepted.

Creating a community with like-minded people allows us to have a deeper level of self-acceptance for ourselves and others. Self-acceptance then leads to self-love.

When creating a community for yourself, it is important to look for people who share your values and beliefs. People who understand where you have been, what are your deepest fears as well as your dreams.

Usually these soulful community members have been through similar experiences as yourself, therefore, they can relate to your challenges. There is no judgment in the presence of these people.  You feel heard and accepted in their presence which allows you to shine your light brightly.

I create soulful communities for women business owners who want to express their brilliance and authenticity through their life work. We meet over the phone two times a month and share our dreams and desires. In these group calls, women come together to create the business of their dreams while being open and authentic about their fears and challenges.

I have a new topic for each class. Every topic is designed to help women dig deep into their soul which in turn brings personal and business growth. Not only women get a lot of support from these meetings, but they also build long lasting friendships and connections.

Last week, as we wrapped up my group coaching program, we celebrated the completion of the program by having a social get together at my house. Vanessa and Sherrie who were both a part of my group, and live locally were at the meeting.

Here is a photo of Vanessa and Sherrie with me at my house.

I would encourage you to create a community for  yourself so that you too can shine your light brightly. If you would like to be a part of our community, stay tuned for a group coaching program opening up soon.
