Wow, I am still trying to come to grips with the loss of my friend Macarldie Nibbs. He's gone.

He was the most Incredible Talented Bright Shining Soul.

He was really beautiful. A beautiful soul that I will really miss. 

Even though we hadn't actually spoke in years, we'd communicated in emails and I'd created his website. How I wish I had Skyped you Macarldie. 

Life is like that we get so busy and then something happens. BAM!  Just like that life slaps you in the face and says "Wake up!"

I didn't even know anything, just noticed the website was down and then emailed and it came back and then I went to the Facebook page and found out that my dear friend Macarldie was gravely ill. Shocked I muddled about wondering what could have happened. Today  I learned of his passing and how and I'll just say he passed away in peace. He was deeply loved. I will miss you! I will post more wonderful things about you later.

You can see Macarldie performing in these video on his Youtube Channel http://www.youtube.com/user/macarldie

Hey Brother, can you spare a loonie or a toonie..., that's what we call dollars here in Canada. 

My friend Mysti is an incredibly talented woman and you can help by making a pledge. Her music is so inspiring, uplifting, and empowering. 

She really has an AMAZING VOICE!! I first came across her music last year while trying to find music for my videos. Wow!! I was really impressed and her music really touched my soul. So if you can help that would be so kind.
