Today on a brand new episode of Let There Be Talk by guest is the incredible Byron Katie. Byron was 43 with three children and unhappily married to her second husband. She suffered from depression, agoraphobia, overeating and addiction to codeine and alcohol. She called her insurance company for help, and was referred to Hope House in Los Angeles a women's counseling center. After two weeks at the house, she reportedly experienced an epiphany in her thinking which created a way for her to challenge and lessen the harmful effects of long-held beliefs. She credited the epiphany, which became known as "The Work" for a subsequent weight loss and other reductions in bad habits. Byron has helped so many people in this world and maybe she can help you.  I hope you guys enjoy this episode I know it's a little different from what you are used to but I feel it's important to constantly keep the show growing in all directions.

In 1995 I stepped into the Fillmore in San Francisco and witnessed one of the greatest live performances I've ever seen by a man named Terence Trent D'Arby. Shortly after that concert that man disappeared from the music business or so I thought. Around 8 years ago I did a Google search and found out that he had changed his name and had been making music for years under his new name Sananda Maitreya. I can't even tell you how excited I was to find all this music I hadn't heard. Sananda released a new double album last Friday, March 19th 2021  called Pandora's Playhouse and it great. Sanand was an absolute dream guest and I know you guys are going to dig this Honest conversation on all things Art. Candles Lit DDR
