I took interest in Pinterest
Then the pinning began
I became a big fan of pinning anything
Pinning everything I can
It’s been the best; it’s Pinterest
A social networking craze
I could go on for days just pinning everything
Pinning anything I can
Just moments into taking my first look
People pinning images and videos; it’s off da hook
It’s pretty intuitive once you dive right in
But first you need to be invited in, so
Take interest in Pinterest
But do heed my warning
From evening ’til morning
Remember what I’ve said
You’ll be Pinterested
February is Women’s Heart Health Month, and Go Red for Women is an initiative started by the American Heart Association for awareness of women and heart disease.
Dave Jay of Insightful Entertainment, in coordination with Charles Nolan Boutique and Ghylian Bell of The Urban Yoga Foundation and the Foundation House proudly present the results of their “Get Your Red Dresses On!” event/video shoot to help raise awareness of women’s heart health issues, held on Thursday, February 9th, from 6-9PM at Charles Nolan Boutique, 30 Gansevoort Street (at Hudson), NYC.
New York songwriter/performer Dave Jay was inspired to contribute to the cause in recognition of the heart attack which befell his grandmother, and wrote a song called “Red Dresses” to help spread the word that women’s symptoms show differently than in men, and just what those symptoms are.
Women of all ages were encouraged to express themselves by donning their red dresses to appear in a video for the song, which was shot at the event, (gifted by Evan Seplow of Image Factory). For those red-dressless, there were some red dresses at Charles Nolan Boutique for you to try on. Women all over the country were invited to participate by taking pictures/videos modeling their own red dresses, and were encouraged to send the footage in for inclusion in the video. Most notably, Nathalie Malpica of Life Reel Productions in Boca Raton, FL contributed footage from her event and Karen Mazowiecki and her colleagues at Fourteenth Avenue School in NJ created their own special lesson plans to share with us.
In addition to the video shoot, Ghylian Bell spoke from a platform of prevention with special attention to young people, Dr. Ira Blaufarb, Dr. Donna Ingram and Nurse Dawn Howard of Park East Cardiolvascular, NYC, provided valuable and insightful information, and refreshments were served, courtesy of Bill “Tish” Tisherman of wineforall.com.
While this is an independent venture, The American Heart Association, has graciously offered to share the new video via Twitter and their Facebook page, and Dr. Suzanne Steinbaum, attending Cardiologist and Director of Women & Heart Disease at Lenox Hill Hospital has served as a chief source of inspiration for the song and project.
I have been working on a new collection of music (um, album...uh, record...CD...?
Whatever ya wanna call my newly recorded 13 songs), and psyched that it's nearly
complete...a few finishing touches, some mixing and mastering, and voila!
Here's one of the new ones...it's a called "A Place In My Heart For You"...enjoy!
Santa Forever; never say never
Your dreams can come true
From out of the blue
I long for love; he’ll see it through
There’s a time and place each year
When Santa makes real love appear
In just one night his gift of glee
In the form of just one boy for me
Santa Forever; never say never
He’ll fly ‘cross the sky
To bring me my guy
Bags full of timeless love
As he flies through wintery skies above
That’s some “Ho-Ho-Hope” you hear
Flown first class by eight reindeer
Santa Forever; never say never
Your dreams can come true
From out of the blue
I long for love; he’ll see it through
Santa Claus look down your list
And bring my heart one special gift
To meet a boy to say “I do”
Dear Santa you make dreams come true
I believe in you and I will forever
Santa’s Forever… (SOLO)
Santa Forever; never say never
Your dreams can come true
From out of the blue
Santa Forever; never say never
Can happen for you
And those you love too
Always believe he will come through
