I have decided to begin what I am calling my "journey log".  I'd like to share with you some of the thoughts and insights I am having as I delve into new areas of exploration with regards to my healing and well being.  I refuse to let this disease I am dealing with define my life, my well being and quite simply, me.  As I journey on, I discover deeper and deeper layers of potential healing and wisdom. 

Lately, I have returned to my joy of writing in a journal after stopping for many years.  Growing up, I always had a journal going and I loved the release of thoughts and feelings as I let them just pour out of me onto the page.  It was healing, and as I am uncovering the multitude of healing tools and methods out there, I've been drawn back into journaling.  At the same time, I am reading, researching, meditating and building new thoughts and visions about life and the journey of my path.   I see how my own experience folds out into layers of healing and well being regarding the world we all live in.  I believe that what I contribute to this life, as what we all contribute, affects and changes the world as we know it.  I strive and long to give what will make a postive impact. 

You, my community; my family, my friends, my music supporters, my teachers, my students, all make this world a beautiful place for me to journey.  I acknowledge you for that and for enriching my life with both joy and depth. 

Peace to you,

Hydeus

Hello all,

Our great friends Kelly and Waeil Majid, who have known Hydeus since childhood, along with Karina Denike are organizing a great event in Berkeley at their fabulous restaurant Zatar! This festive event will be to help Hydeus and her family pay for her very high bills.

Hydeus is Karina's old roomate from college and a very close friend. They sang and performed together in groups and have supported each others accomplishments over the years.

Please pass the word around to anyone you think might be interested in a guaranteed great food and a wonderful music listening experience all in support of a beautiful singer, person and our great friend Hydeus Kiatta.

The Bluebelles is one of Karina's new fun musical groups, that does 20's,30's and 40's songs in their own special little way... .They will be doing a rare dinner performance especially for this evening at Zatar Restaurant in Berkeley. So, if you have yet to see them and don’t like staying up late or driving to San Francisco, this is really your best chance!!

We can personally vouch for the amazing ALL organic Morrocan and Middle Eastern food that Zatar makes. Many of the vegetables are grown in their huge gorgeous garden, and the restaurant is in an adorable setting in Berkeley. Check out their beautiful website at www.zatarrestaurant.com
