Recorded a cute cover of More, More, More - the 1976 tune by Andrea True Connection -
with Seena’s Peace & Love Band earlier this year.
Music and video coming next week, so stay tuned <3

Did you know that the original idea and demo for this song might not have happened if it wasn't for a problem?
The singer, Andrea True, found herself in Jamaica in 1975,
where she was hired and paid for a commercial job.
The problem was that, at the exact same point in time, due to political reasons, the Jamaican government made it illegal to conduct wealth transfers to America.
So, since she couldn’t take it with her,
Andrea True needed to find a way to spend the money she had made (wisely)
before returning back to the US.
She chose to invest in herself and decided to spend the cash
on recording the demo of More, More, More, in Jamaica.
This song eventually ended up becoming wildly popular and her biggest success ever.

I hope this little story can serve as a reminder that, sometimes, problems in our path invite us to lift our gaze and become even MORE than what we might have thought ourselves capable of.
In addition to acknowledging the problem, we could also ask ourselves;
What other opportunities for positive growth are presented to me at this moment?
What new synchronicities, peoples, perspectives and time-spaces are available to me to build and share MORE love?
The answers you find might not take away the original problem or hurt,
but they can help lay the foundation for something new, exciting and wonderful.
Something MORE.
It ain’t over ‘till it’s over - so if you’re still breathing;
it’s not too late.
People start new businesses in their 40s (Vera Wang, Giorgio Armani)
and new families/kids at 60, 79 or 83 (Tony Robbins, Robert DeNiro, Al Pacino).
So whatever problem you are facing right now,
in addition to dealing with that challenge,
I hope you somehow can open your eyes to new horizons
and discover that life has likely also brought you something that has the potential to bring you
MORE, MORE, MORE of all the good stuff.
