One of the goals of this blog is to help women connect with their Inspiration, Turn On, Passion and Desire! One of the themes I hear over and over from the many Experts I interview, is that woman must have things in their life that they are passionate about. Not only that, we must nurture and give attention to our passions lest we become bored, lifeless and BITCHY - oh my!
Too many times we let our careers, our lovers, our families and friends take the majority of our precious energy, while we lose touch with what ignites OUR fires. Well, let me tell you, see that adorable guy dressed in all black with the spiky hair and cool black shades….THAT is JACKIE GREENE, someone I for one, am deeply Passionate about!
I first heard of JACKIE GREENE when he was opening for Susan Tedeschi at the Fillmore Theater in San Francisco a few years back. There he was thin, awkward and barely able to face the crowd, but when that young man opened his mouth to let out a boom that shook the room while railing on the guitar (and then switched to blast the harmonica), the crowd took notice. I never stopped following him.

My passion for Jackie’s musical talent and deep sensitive nature drew me to get somewhat close to him, a few times giving him bodywork before shows, so happy to learn a little bit more about this young prodigy from the outskirts of Sacramento. That was before he went on tour with PHIL LESH and was featured on the Conan OBrian late show!

My friends still laugh about how crazy I went over Jackie Greene when I first heard his music and felt his vibe. But that is what PASSION is all about - that totally wild, inexplicable draw toward someone or something that lights you up brighter than ever knew you could glow!

SO who or what are YOU passionate about? When was the last time you took some time to listen to your favorite music, learned a new dance technique, cooked a completely foreign meal for yourself?
