            <description><![CDATA[<p>I entered the New Year with goals in my left pocket, and a new mission&nbsp;in my right.&nbsp; One I had never formally put down on paper.&nbsp;&nbsp;Being a singer/songwriter, teaching yoga-- they are very similar.&nbsp; Each expression, whether singing a solo/acoustic song, rockin' out with the band, or guiding students on their yoga journey, well, <em>fills me up</em>;&nbsp;returns joy to my heart, peace to my mind, and strength to&nbsp;my soul.&nbsp; And after 20 years&nbsp;of doing this music thing, I also&nbsp;witness the positive effect it has on those in the audience, from children to retirees.&nbsp; It&nbsp;binds, and it&nbsp;connects.&nbsp;&nbsp;In many ways, the music/performances are much&nbsp;like a yoga class, without the deep stetching! :)</p><br /><p>I entered 2010 with direction, to perform&nbsp;one community service&nbsp;show or one free community yoga class per month.&nbsp; To give back-- to <em>share</em>-- the power of music, and the healing components of yoga.&nbsp; I wrote this idea in my journal at the end of December, and by New Year's Eve the first opportunity came my way.&nbsp; And in January, the second opportunity of service came my way through one of my yoga students.&nbsp;</p><br /><p>I serve other musicians, too-- perhaps sharing gigs with other like-minded&nbsp;artists, and even opening space at a show for a budding star on the rise.&nbsp; Of course, I am only one person,&nbsp;so I&nbsp;am mindful about&nbsp;my choices,&nbsp;what I can do to support without losing focus of my mission, the actual work, gigs, yoga classes, etc.&nbsp; It's an intuitive process, always has been, and I am happy to report that, so far,&nbsp;is working!</p><br /><p>Take a moment to read the <a href="http://www.jannaaudey.com/news.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ffff00;">Jailhouse Rock</span></a> blog entry from March, and then <strong>SAVE THE DATE</strong>, as we are getting ready to support <a href="http://www.shelterbox.org" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ffff00;">Shelterbox.org</span></a> on May 22 at the <a href="http://www.cgrill.com" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ffff00;">Clarendon Grill</span></a>.&nbsp;</p><br /><p>I hope to see you at a show soon.&nbsp; And if you have a cause that you believe my services would enhance, drop me a line.&nbsp; Until then...</p><br /><p>~Janna</p>]]></description>
