Playing On The Helipad! What a view! I imagine this is what it must feel like to play on top of the world. This photo was taken at the very top of the Marriot hotel in Marina del Rey, where the helicopters come in for landing! On this day, the spot was used for a beautiful wedding ceremony that couldn't have asked for better weather or a more breathtaking backdrop. I highly recommend this unique spot for anyone searching for an extraordinary venue!  Isabelle Perrin in LA...  Mark your calendars! On September 25th & 26th, Isabelle Perrin will be in Los Angeles. She will be giving a master class on September 25th, at the beginning of which she will be giving a special talk about Bernard Andres, a French composer with whom she has a special connection. Her concert will be on September 26th at 5pm, in the chapel of the Pasadena First Baptist Church (not the sanctuary). Also, Isabelle will be available for private lessons over the weekend. If you have any questions or didn't receive the flyer, please don't hesitate to let us know. Don't miss this amazing weekend! ISABELLE'S CONCERT PROGRAM: JS BACH Suite BWV996 (Prelude – Presto – Allemande - Courante-Sarabande – Bourrée - Gigue) originale version by I.Perrin E. PARISH ALVARS Serenade A. ROUSSEL Impromptu C. DEBUSSY 1stArabesque M. TOURNIER Féérie B. ANDRES Elégie pour la mort d’un berger G. FAURE Impromptu  CAN BEING HAPPY BRING YOU SUCCESS?  Is money the main point? A more interesting question might be “what is it that money brings us?” For many people it brings security and a feeling of abundance and richness, psychological as well as physical. But rather than focusing on money, try thinking in terms of “richness” and “abundance”…both internal and external. Internal richness is related to how you think about yourself. Many people think with what one of my teachers called a “poverty mentality”, which is a huge trap and a life pattern for many people. But if you live and think in terms of abundance and appreciation – what you can offer to others, the wonderful and joyful things in your life – that is what you attract. You can feel the real thing when someone is genuinely interested in the people and world around them; when someone asks penetrating questions and is genuinely curious about the answers, and who appreciates and supports others. That is likely to be a person who understands how to live a rich life. External richness is related to our environment and the way we work with it. Take a look at your home office, the physical environment of your house. What does it reflect? Even a very modest apartment can feel clean, bright, and rich with the right colour paint, and a few well placed objects. How about the environment of the people you hang out with? Surround yourself with people who manifest abundance and appreciation and you will find you are positively affected. Developing an attitude of external richness doesn’t mean you ignore financial planning and business planning. Far from it! Appreciation for your business involves maintaining it properly; appreciation for your life involves enjoying what your family, home and community have to offer, appreciation of your body involves eating good food and exercising! Business relationships are sustained by people who like to work together, appreciate each other, and who enjoy each other’s company. So taking an attitude of richness, abundance, and appreciation is good for you – and good for your business. Take that attitude, and the money will follow!

From the Pistachio Macaroons of the last newsletter, we're switching to a lighter dish for the end of summer. This is a very refreshing change from the tomatoes that we have been eating all season, and the tang of the savory salt and cheese is beautifully complimented by the sweetness of the fresh peach (or nectarine)!  End of Summer Refreshing Delight! Sliced peaches or nectarines Mozzarella cheese (in the brine is best) Fresh basil leaves Olive oil Balsamic vinegar Salt and pepper Lay out the peach slices on a platter, then cover each slice with a slice of mozzarella. Put some cut up basil leaves on top, then sprinkle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Add a little salt and pepper. Chill and then serve with a nice white wine! @ Copyright Pacific Harps |
