Project Is Complete

Profound thanks to all who contributed their energy and their financial resources to help Ilene and Conrad with Ilene's medical expenses. This project is now complete. The account is closed as of August 1.

A Beautiful Journey of Love and Compassion

From February 2nd when the energy opened for a CD to be created by the musician friends of Ilene, until now, we have had a magical and wondrous journey with the Love Streams music. The total amount raised by sales of this album, and by your donations was $5300 contributed to Ilene for her medical expenses to date.

As the person who co-ordinated this project, I have to say that the stories of love and caring by Ilene and by Conrad that I heard were inspiring and uplifting.

This site will stay up yet for a while, and the Love Streams bank account will stay open until August 1. Bills still remain from Ilene's surgeries, doctor visits, drugs, and various special equipment that she needed. You can still donate through Love Streams by sending a check, or ordering Love Streams CDs through my website through August 1. Please see the side panel of this blog for ordering information. Much love and many blessings to all of you. Beverly.

A New Life!

Ilene left this world for her new home yesterday, May 16th at 2:00PM EST. She passed into the next world easily and gently and in peace. Conrad, her sister Darlene, and Marlon were with her....and the forces of the world of spirit and unconditional love carried her over in their loving arms.

Profound love to all who have supported her and Conrad during this last year in so many ways. You have sent love streaming, lit candles, prayed and meditated, and you have sent them a total of $5000 through the Love Streams project as of today, May 17. So many of you also sent donations directly to Ilene and Elizabeth for Ilene, and raised money in your own special projects. Deepest gratitude from Conrad and Ilene.

Connectivity and the larger picture of Love Streams

Hi to everyone.

The Love Streams project was initiated in February by the Heart of Love. As it has streamed out over the last months, LOVE is pouring into the life of Ilene as she journeys through this transformative time of her life. The purpose of Love Streams is to support through love in all ways. There is no particular goal for Ilene in this outpouring of love....but rather the deeper connective power that love brings in the support of the unseen spiritual world, the depth of support in the loving arms of Mother Earth, and the love that people bring through connecting one to another in non-judgemental ways and compassionate and kind ways.

Michael Mettler is holding an art sale of his work at Old Crown Coffee Roasters to benefit Ilene during the month of May. Come and visit, and also enjoy their wonderful coffee and food. I will be posting the ongoing results of his sale also. To contact Michael directly, e-mail him at michaelphoto@frontier.com.

Much love to all of you. Beverly.

$4000 profit to Ilene!

We sent another $500 to Ilene and Conrad for her medical expenses this morning, May 6th. This brings the financial support that has come from all of you supporting the Love Streams project to $4000. Thank you!!

Michael Mettler, here in Fort Wayne, has an art benefit started also for Ilene. Here is his e-mail regarding his art benefit, and I would mention that, if you are not in the Fort Wayne area, you can participate in his art benefit also online.....just e-mail him at michaelphoto@frontier.com .... so from Michael:

Hello Friends !

Sunday May 4th I opened a new show of my photographs at the Old Crown Coffee Roasters at 3417 N. Anthony Blvd. Over the last month I realized I had an opportunity to support Ilene and I received the sense to dedicate sales from this new show to Ilene. I am doing that.

All of us have been touched and blessed by the creative fire and Courage of this Artist, mentor, teacher and friend. My life would not hold my sense of purpose and creative juice if it had not been graced by Ilene's commitment to her purpose. And by her reminders on occasion !!

I want to make a suggestion that you consider taking a friend or family member to the Old Crown. It might be for lunch or coffee or a glass of wine. Being there may offer a story opportunity to let them know this is a benefit sale and share what ever back ground from your experiences with Ilene might fit the moment. That my work, like lots of yours, is what emerged from the love this woman has showered on all of us. And what words of wisdom she has always and constantly brought to us.

You may also just mention this benefit sale and that may interest people you know as well. My last suggestion is---that knowing this is a energy of creative relationship among us that you may feel your own response and a way to loving action for Ilene. You may find your own inspiring choice rising from your own experience with this courageous loving woman.

That is it. If I can assist you in a visit by being there for that lunch or glass of wine I am available. This sale will be here through May and up till June 14. My home number is 426-2470. Please call if you have questions. I do not have everyones email so please feel free to pass the word . Old Crown is open seven days a week. Serves dinner Thursday , Friday and Saturday nights from 5 to 9 PM and publishes their menu on facebook --you can reach them at 422-5282. Sandwiches, salad and soup

always available and their premium coffee !! Love you all, Michael

ALSO REMEMBER: Love Streams CD is available in Fort Wayne at Old Crown Coffee Roasters, at Sophia's Portico, at Elderberry Tree House Shoppe,and through Melissa Van Cleave at Full Circle. Love Streams is available in California at the offices of Conrad Satala and Barbara Marsdon. And....of course it is available by clicking the CD cover icon to the right of this blog and ordering online.

In love and gratitude!

WOW! It is May 1rst

The Love Streams project began on February 2nd. We are now three months later. As the person who physically shipped all of the CDs that were ordered, I heard so many stories over the last 3 months about Ilene and Conrad's positive affect on people's lives. These two people have brought wisdom and love to SO MANY lives over the last many years of their professional practice.

I have a request for you. We are $200 away from sending them another $500 and bringing the total for this Love Streams project up to $4000 profit sent to them. Can we raise this last $200? Ilene is not well yet, and still is undergoing tests and expensive prescriptions. They could really use this last $500. Orders and donations have completely stopped. Can you help? I have closed the PO Box (all PO Box orders will be forwarded to me for processing), so please send your orders or donations to 4622 Morning Wind Place, Fort Wayne, IN 46804, or order online.

What a wonderful project this has been. For me personally, it has been transformative as I experience the love being poured out by all of you to Conrad and Ilene, and as I worked together with the other musicians on the Love Streams album.

My family is Celtic in it's origins and in the Celt world May 1 has a long history. This fire festival is celebrated on May 1 with bonfires, Maypoles, and dancing. The Celts honored the planet's newness of life in the Spring with gifts and offerings. We may not celebrate the ancient celtic gods, but this is a very creative time of year. New life is emerging in the planet's plant and animal life....and creativity is abundant. I ask this creativity and new life to infuse the Love Streams project with new life, love and wisdom so that we can reach our goal of $4000 total to Ilene and Conrad.

Blessings and gratitude. Beverly Rieger

Gratitude

The month of May is the month of gratitude for all of you who have been a part of this Love Streams journey.

Thank you profoundly. This next month let's open to gratitude and receiving from the love that has been given. The Love Streams project began on February 2nd and now, April 24 has raised almost $4000 in profit for Ilene's medical expenses. That is a powerful expression of love from the people who are a part of this project.

The unseen world brought this project forward.....you said "yes". Thank you profoundly.

We expect to continue to bring in money to grow Love Streams financial aid to Ilene and Conrad during the month of May.

Blessings and gratitude to all of you.

Love Streaming In This Magical Journey

We are moving toward the completion of the Love Streams project. This has been a most wonderful process of love. However, Love Streams is not yet finished it's work. Please continue to actively focus your love and your light onto the sales of Love Streams. There are so many people out there who would love to have this music, but don't know that it even exists. Let's get the word out to them.

Love Streams carries the ability to bridge cultures and musical tastes. It features awesome classical musicians (Carol Tingle and Laura Scott), and in the same CD we experience the powerful drumming, throat singing, and Yidaki music of David Will, David Fyfe and Raymond Moon-Gabet. Jennifer Patterson and David Fyfe have created original music in a vocal expression of the warmth of love and caring. Beverly Rieger writes her own music of love: the Love Streams title piece and Heart Love from the Healing Music CD.

Spring Solstice, and Easter, and in the Mayan lands "The Greatest of All Weeks" are here. Love Streams expresses the essence of all of these celebrations: love!

Here is a quote from Michael in Fort Wayne to all of you who assisted and continue to assist with the Love Streams project through music, purchasing, meditation:

"Just a note to thank you for your loving and outstanding caring for the benefit for Ilene and Conrad. This was a colossal inspiration and you stayed with the energy and nurtured the energy with dedication. You demonstrate the wisdom energy of the possible."

Ilene in the Mayan lands...before this transformational year.

love and gratitude.

One Year Check In

Today Ilene goes to Los Angeles, doing her one year neurological work-up, exploring mobility and Ilene's brain. It is amazing that it has been one year since the beginning of Ilene's journey of spinal surgery and cancer treatment. That is a very long time to be in such a powerful transition and healing space. Your love and support has greatly assisted Ilene over this year. We have sent a total of $3500 to help with medical expenses. She is deeply grateful!

The Love Streams project will continue to be active for a couple of months yet.....so, send your energy streaming to this project and continue to include Love Streams in your daily meditations.

Sending you joy and light in this Springtime of new emergence!

Generous Donations Have Made a Difference

We were able to send Conrad and Ilene $500 today, April 9th, to continue our financial support. We sold 6 CDs over the last 10 days, so this $500 is due to the very generous donations from a couple of people this week to Love Streams for Ilene. Our profound thank you!!

Here in the Midwest we are finally (!) experiencing the winter thaw, and the emergence of Spring. How wonderful!

It looks very much like Ilene is moving also toward her new Springtime of life, as her health continues to improve. Keep pouring the streams of love to her.

Profound Gratitude!

When this Love Streams project first emerged in early February, we really had no idea what would happen. The process of creating the CD was fun and easy, and an experience of love and joy. The journey since has been magical. The money raised to support Ilene in her journey of transformation and healing was very important (actually a critical need) but also the streaming of love from all of you to Conrad and Ilene has been powerful and wonderful.

We continue to send money to them from the Love Streams project and sent another $500 yesterday (Monday). Thank you especially to Melissa Van Cleave, Jennifer Patterson, Diane Shafer-King, Beverly Rieger, and Ann Beeching who are selling CDs through their own businesses. And....the silent auction held here in Fort Wayne for Ilene's medical expenses was a success thanks to the very hard work of Elizabeth and Raymond Moon-Gabet.

Ilene is back out of the hospital, home, and doing very well. However....they just incurred another week of hospital expenses.

From Beverly, here is a statement to date for you of the Love Streams CD project:

We have $50 left in the Love Streams account. We have sold 153 CDs to date, replaced a defective CD, and given 2 to businesses for marketing purposes. We have 174 still in stock or on consignment with various people and with CD Baby. This equals our initial stock of 330. We have also received donations of $163.50 over and above sales.

When we sell the remaining 174, we will have given Ilene and Conrad an additional $3500. Can we do this? If you are receiving this blog, you probably have already purchased one or many CDs of Love Streams, and have also probably donated to Ilene and Conrad in many other ways. However, maybe you can still help.

Here are some ideas:

This is healing music. Would your massage therapist, reiki practitioner, etc. like a copy or would they place them on display for their clients?

This is beautiful music with many different types of music included, recorded by excellent musicians. I sent a letter to all of my relatives (I have a LOT of relatives!) because they would enjoy the music even if they don't know Conrad and Ilene. They are also willing to support me in my efforts to help a friend in need.

I sent a notice to my customers who love my music, and my music is on this CD.

If you are on Facebook or Twitter, keep posting about this project. People have very short memories and need to be reminded. The professional business consensus is that you need to remind people 7 times before they will actually purchase an item. So.....keep reminding!

To find information on ordering: go to the column at the right side of this blog.

Happy April 1rst! Emergence is all around us with the joy of new life. Love to all.

Another Place to Purchase Love Streams

Good morning to everyone! Love Streams is now up on the CDBaby website for your purchase. Here is the link: http://cdbaby.com/cd/lovestreams

You may know that Ilene is back in the hospital. All test results are clear, but she needs to be stabilized for constant nausea, vomiting, and other other digestive tract issues. When these are no longer dominating her life, the quality of life for her and for Conrad will be greatly improved. However, this hospital stay has created yet more medical bills....so if you are just waiting to order Love Streams, wait no longer! Click on the CD cover to the right of this blog writing and place your order.

Love Streams will be available for your download on i-tunes, rhapsody and many other download sites soon. It is in process, but it just takes a while to get through the system and out to you.

Love to all.

Another $500 sent to Ilene. Thank you!

We did it! Made the $500 to Ilene and Conrad by this Friday. Many thanks to all of you. We sold 11 CDs this week.

Ann Beeching is taking Love Streams CDs to a workshop she is presenting this weekend, and Diane Shafer-King is taking Love Streams CDs to an art show that she is participating in this weekend. Please hold both Ann and Diane in your light and love for success in their business presentations/shows and also for sales of the CDs that they are carrying with them.

I'll give you another update next Friday.

Have a beautiful week! Love to all.

Didn't quite make it

Happy St. Patricks Day to all!

We were not able to sell four more CDs since the Friday blog. So.....let's look toward this week. The total number of CDs sold in the last week was 4 and I would love to bring the number of CDs sold in this week to 20 or more. Can we do it?? I'll let you know next Saturday.

Love Streams is a beautiful album. Where else can you find an album with love streaming to you through classical flute and voice by Carol and Laura; instrumental music by Beverly; guitar and keyboard by Robin; folk song by David; love song by Jennifer; percussion...throat singing..yidaki by David, David and Raymond...all in one album!!

Love to all. Will next update you on Saturday.

Almost to the next $500

After the first infusion of $1000 through your generosity, now we are moving in $500 increments. Well...we are very close to the next $500. Can we get over that amount so we can send money again? To do that, we need to sell 4 more CDs. I'll let you know if we meet that goal! This morning I was taking inventory of the Love Streams CD, and as I was reconciling all the income and outgo, I had a chance to go through all of the orders shipped. There is so power in that group of orders shipped that it almost glows. Thank you!! love to all.

Another week is almost complete!

We are on the magical and wondrous journey of the Love Streams album. This journey started on February 2, and now we are already to March 13th. How fast the time is going! Conrad and Ilene have expressed many times that they feel your love and your support through the streaming energies of this album. I hope that you are also feeling these things. This Love Streams album is transformative for them, but also for you and for me.

Profound gratitude to all of you who have contributed your musical gifts, artistic gifts, have donated money, or purchased CDs....your love is felt and deeply appreciated.

We have 200 more of these beautiful healing CDs. If you have not had an opportunity to purchase one yet, I have to say YOU WILL LOVE THIS CD. It's not too late to make a real difference in the life of Conrad and Ilene, and also in your life. Also, please take a moment to reflect on others who would benefit from the Love Streams CD. Who are they? Purchase a CD also for them. Are you on Facebook or Twitter? If so, take a moment to post the Love Streams blog link on your Facebook page or on Twitter. The link is http://lovestreamstoilee.blogspot.com Is there a college radio station in your area, or local NPR station? Take a moment and e-mail them to see if they will mention this project and maybe play a bit of the CD. Any other ideas? I have contacts with many distributors because of my Mayan Dream Productions business, but I would rather sell Love Streams at the retail price right now.....more income for the project. Distributors and wholesales will carry the Love Streams CD, but they will also take a 50% cut. Plus, we have to pay the shipping to get the CDs to the distributor. SO....let's first try to get the words out in any way that we can, sell the CDs at $21.50 each plus shipping, and bring this magical and wondrous project to completion.

Fort Wayne on March 12 with a winter storm and 8 inches of new snow. Beautiful!! Love to all. Beverly.

The weather here is teaching about change!

Here in the Midwest we have had sunny and 52 for two days. Tomorrow, a winter storm is rolling in and giving us 6-10 inches of snow with a low temp of 1 degree. Then on Friday, back to temps in the 40s, following by more snow and teens for temps on Sunday.

This is a such a perfect metaphor for the life of all creative projects. Everything is always changing and growing....the essential nature of creativity. Of course this creative project of Love Streams is also going to be changing and growing. The latest is the placement of Love Streams on CdBaby which sells music as CDs all over the world, and also sends the music to the various popular digital download sites such as i-tunes, rhapsody, amazon mp3, etc. The process is started, but it will take a week for the CD to be in physical form on the CdBaby site, and then a few weeks for people to be able to download Love Streams. This is an important and BIG jump in availability in the world.

Love Streams has emerged as an album of love into the world, and a healing album (love heals!). It will continue to profit Ilene and Conrad, but it is meant for all of the strangers that want and need this new music for their lives.

The unseen world brought this project forward and continues to grow it. I invite you to continue to connect with these forces and help with the spread through the world of Love Streams.

Just a reminder: link to order online: www.mayandream.com/orderformregular.html . To order with a check or cash: Make your check out to Love Streams and send to Love Streams, P.O. Box 9129, Fort Wayne, IN 46899-9129

Love to all.

Just a Saturday update!

Hi again to everyone. UPDATE: We have given Ilene and Conrad $2000 to date and paid all initial expenses. Taxes are reserved. Donations to date over and above sales have been $112.50. How wonderful is this!! Thank you to all who purchased CDs, and to those who have donated over and above CD purchases.

From Beverly: The Love Streams title music, which is track one of the CD, is one of only three pieces that I actually heard before I played them out in a recording studio. One of the three was The Beloved, one was the last track called Joy from The Journey of Joy, and the third was Love Streams. It took me a total of 30 minutes to record this entire piece because I felt that I had known it my whole life. I laid down the piano track, and then the flute track. Done. This music was a gift from the unseen to me in a very special way. My life has not been the same since recording this new music. The Love Streams music is grounded in our Mother Earth, GAIA. It expresses the essence of all of us.....LOVE.

From a friend of mine in Minnesota: "I've been so touched by the response of the people to Ilene. I hope she is getting stronger and is experiencing the love being poured out for her. That experience seems to have strengthened the bond of love with so many people. What a tremendous gift!"

Love and profound gratitude.

March means Out Into The World!

Hi Everyone! We will be sending another $500 to Ilene and Conrad this weekend.

The music on the CD Love Streams is healing music. It transforms. Here is a quote from Ann Beeching: "I keep thinking that people need to know that the album is also healing for them and those they love. It was created in love and healing not just for Ilene and Conrad but love is unconditional and sees no boundaries. The more that are sold for Ilene or another friend just increases the energy of love and healing for everyone. Thank you for initiating this love." So, we are not selling this music just for Conrad and Ilene, but as healing music for the world.

Susan Stamm was the graphic design artist for the Love Streams CD. She donated her time and artistic gift to make the cover and disc label beautiful and powerful. It just jumps out at you!! Thank you Susan.

Here is an example of Susan's jewelry.

As we move into March, you can feel the "out into the world" energy of our projects. Love Streams is ready to make a leap.....you can feel it!!

Profound love from Conrad and Ilene.

Good morning to all on this beautiful Sunday morning. We have now sold over 100 CDs of Love Streams. Thank you! Thank you!

We have a new Facebook site for the Love Streams project. Here it is: www.facebook.com/lovestreams.14 .You can now see the links to this facebook page, and also to the You Tube video at the top of this page.

Julia Meek at WBOI 89.1 - Northeast Indiana Public Radio - is talking about the Love Streams album on her shows. Julia is host for Meet the Music and co-producer and host for FolkTales. Her Facebook page is www.facebook.com/meetthemusic . Many thanks, Julia, for helping to bring the music of Love Streams out into the world.

A thanks to all from Conrad Satala: "We are profoundly affected by this flow of Love Streams! Blessings and love, Conrad."

The love from all of you is a circle. It flows outward into the world and to Ilene and Conrad, and then flows back to us. We are transformed by this love. What a gift that Conrad and Ilene are giving to us by allowing this project to be with us.

David Will is one of those who drummed the Jaguar Dance (Track six) on the Love Streams album. Like so many of you, David wears many hats very well. He is a chief engineer at Navistar, a drummer, a parent, and an artist. Thank you, David, for sharing your music in this Love Streams album.

David's art....see it to the right.

Love to all.

Love Streams

One of the blessings of this Love Streams project is the love that is pouring out toward Ilene and Conrad from so many parts of the world. It is igniting love also for all of us toward one another. What a beautiful gift!

We sent another $500 to Ilene and Conrad today. Thank you to all!

Thank you to these people who are helping in a powerful way with this Love Streams project.

It's a magical journey!

Looking back a little bit, the idea for this CD came to Beverly on February 2nd, and now it's February 26....only 24 days later. Musicians from the Midwest and California came together and a CD was created....graphic design, recording, website updates...all were donated and everything moved smoothly and with joy. We have a CD that is shipped to all who ordered, and we have profits that allowed us to give Conrad and Ilene $1000 last weekend. Now, we are very close to being able to give them another $1000. This is magical and totally supported by the unseen world.

David Fyfe wrote the last piece on the CD, and he sang it and played the piano. The words are very powerful for this journey of Love Streams. Here is a little bit of the text of his song, coming from the unseen world forces through David:

"All can be the love that We did share Reaching out, teaching all to care. Loving all, touching every heart. You ALL can do it NOW.

Teach your neighbor by the way you share, bind up wounds by the way you care, Love will heal and make whole again. We showed you the way."

Love Streams is beautiful music, grounded in Mother Earth, and in the LOVE that heals and transforms all things. As you listen to Love Streams, you are sending out the vibration of love and it's healing powers into the world. In the words of David's song, you are "reaching out, teaching all to care, loving all, touching every heart".

The potential of this CD, Love Streams, to change the world, and also to support Conrad and Ilene financially is profound. However, it takes a village to do this. No one person knows enough people to accomplish the potential of this CD. But....if everyone uses their contact possibilities (Facebook, Twitter, etc) to spread the word about this CD, it's potential can be realized.

Profound gratitude to all who have purchased one or many of this CD. If you are holding off purchasing Love Streams because you don't think you will listen to it, or like it.... maybe you know someone who will be deeply supported and inspired by this music. The music wants to go out into the world. If you have been touched by the love of Conrad and Ilene, but just haven't gotten around to purchasing a CD (or many CDs) yet: in the words of David's song "You ALL can do it NOW." Ordering information is on the right panel of this blog.

From Ilene: "Thanks to one and all of you who through this music support me at this critical time. I am humbled by the beauty and creativity of your loving energy that flows my way."

Out into the World

The music of Love Streams is going out into the world today as CDs are shipped to all who ordered them. Profound gratitude to all who are supporting this project that is a benefit for Ilene. We were able to send $1000 in profits to Conrad and Ilene this weekend.

We ordered 300 CDs and National Media gave us an extra 30 for free. If we sold all 330, we can send $4500 for support of Ilene's medical care. Wouldn't that be awesome!

Love and light.

Love Streaming from Tom Tempel

Tom Tempel is a dear friend of Ilene and Conrad. Tom has given of this time and pretty phenomenal ability to connect with Spirit to record and master Beverly's Love Streams music and the Heart Love music (tracks one and seven) on the Love Streams album. He also recorded the music of "Here Is Love Found", "Jaguar Dance" and "Yuti: The Dreamed World". He mastered the Love Streams CD, and created the You Tube Love Streams video from bits of each track of the Love Streams music and from photographs of Beverly and Conrad. Tom has had a major part in the creation of the beauty and heart-centered healing of the music of the Love Streams album. Profound thanks, Tom!! (Tempel Recording)

Now that the CDs are actually in physical form, can you feel the love and beauty that is present in each CD? It is amazing and all of you who have sent love to this project, purchased, been a part of it's creation...you are the reason why this CD carries such powerful love.

Spread the word! Let's bring this project to it's potential. If everyone buys one CD, and then also spreads the word through social media or in person, we will have a big impact on the financial world of Ilene.

CDs have shipped from Virginia...will be here by Friday!

The CDs will probably be here by Friday afternoon, so they won't actually hit the postoffice until Monday, but we will be packaging and labeling for shipment the completed CDs all weekend! I guess we'll have a CD mailing party!!

We have sold...you have purchased....54 CDs in 38

orders. We received the first mailed orders to the P.O. Box yesterday and today, and also received the first order from Canada this week. We received the first donation toward the duplicating costs today also. (Keep those donations coming!) The Love Streams benefit project is now at $1300 total money taken in. Profound gratitude!

From this money will be taken the taxes, 7% sales tax for Indiana buyers, any duplicating costs, and shipping. Let's see what happens!

SOME TRIVIA: Raymond Moon-Gabet is doing throat-singing on track 6: Jaguar Dance. What is throat singing? When Raymond is throat singing, you feel the turning of the energy that is the love center of the Universe. The same thing happens when Raymond plays the Yidaki. Both require the breath of the singer/player to be centered in the breath of the unseen world of Spirit. Thank you to Raymond for allowing us to experience this breathing of love. You can hear a bit of it if you go the YouTube video of Love Streams. Click here. Throat singing is too complicated to explain easily. The singer changes the shape of the resonant cavities of mouth and throat to produce more than one sound at a time, while always keeping a low continuous tone. When you hear a particular note of music in a song, it always contains something called overtones and those overtones add to the sound of the note of music. Throat singing uses the concept of overtones to produce more than one sound at time. Told you it was complicated? It's pretty cool though!! Love to all!

YouTube Video of Love Streams

A very large thank you to Tom Tempel at Tempel Recording for creating this video which features the music from Love Streams, and also photographs by Beverly Rieger and Conrad Satala. Beautiful music and lovely work, Tom, putting together and mastering this YouTube video!! Here is the link: Love Streams You Tube video love to all.

Financial Support Given In Love is a Healing Energy

The CD Love Streams has been created from the love of many people for Ilene and Conrad. And....some of the people who donated their time do not even know Ilene. All are responding to financial need with love.

It happens that this love has created a healing CD. Here is a note from Mary Lazoff-Fyfe: "Beverly had asked some of us to work with Track One from the album to help build an energy for Ilene and Conrad and the album as it was being created. At the time, I was experiencing a great deal of pain in my feet. I got an inspiration to just play the 4 min. piece (Love Streams, Track One) on my ipod with a continuous repeat. I went in to a deep space for two hours and when I came back, my feet felt a lot of relief. My intention was to help the sales of the album; the blessed "side effect" was a deep healing energy."

Your financial support of Ilene....through purchasing CDs of Love Streams...is an act of love. This love is the core of the Love Streams CD, and will come back to you as a deep healing energy. As we know, love is the core of healing. This CD is also very beautiful. On Facebook, Carolyn Conger says the following: "These are top-notch musicians with big hearts! They make great music, and it's a wonderful cause."

We are now up to $800 in the Love Streams account. The beginning expenses of duplication are now covered by sales...taxes are taken off the "top"....and we are now into profits. This is exciting and magical. Our goal at this first part of the Love Streams project is to sell 1000 CDs. This effort will take a village! 1000 Love Streams CDs circulating in the world will be a lot of love and healing pouring into Mother Earth.

If you can donate toward the duplication costs of the first 300 CDs, that would help with profits. National Media Services has given us a special price of $1.59 per CD duplication, and an additional free 30 CDs, and the UPC code free. Thank you to them!! But, the duplication costs are going to be $477 plus shipping. Can you make a donation for duplication? Any amount will help with this beginning expense. To donate, send a check(Make it out to Love Streams) to Love Streams, P.O. Box 9129, Fort Wayne, IN 46899-9129 and mark it clearly as donation for duplication.

The CDs will be "in house" sometime between February 23 and 28 and will be immediately shipped to you who have ordered them. Together, you have ordered 37 CDs to date. We received our first international order from Australia also! This is in less than a week, with CDs completed and at the duplicators, but still not available for shipment. That is pretty wonderful. Thank you!!

Here in Fort Wayne, the Love Streams CD will be available at Sophia's Portico, Old Crown Coffee Roasters, Elderberry Tree House Shoppe, and for those of you who have their hair styled by Melissa Van Cleave...she will have CDs at Full Circle. In California, CDs will be available at the offices of Barbara Marsden and Conrad Satala. In Hawaii, Gina is ready to be the contact person. CDs WILL BE AT STORES AFTER FEBRUARY 28. Profound thank you to all!

Much love to you from all who are participating in this project....creators of the CD, and those who have purchased.

Continuing The Journey

The physical CD will be available soon. The music master was completed and shipped to National Media Services on Wednesday. Susan uploaded all of the graphic design artwork also on Wednesday. National Media Services is in Virginia and they were not allowed out of their homes on Thursday because of the ice storm. So, the e-proof was approved on Friday. Mark says that probably the CDs will be here sometime between February 22 and February 28. As soon as we receive them, they will be shipped to all who have already ordered and paid.

Here is a message from Carol Tingle. She sang the Schubert Ave Maria that is track four of the Love Streams CD. Isn't it amazing that she was able to record in California, and we have the music in Fort Wayne via technology of the internet? This is a most beautiful singing and playing and recording of the Ave Maria. You can feel the profound love in this music. Enjoy! So...from Carol:

"From the moment I received the warm invitation to participate in the creation of a recording produced by those of us who love Ilene and Conrad dearly, the music took on it's own life. What a wonderful opportunity to create and participate in something beautiful and meaningful to show our love and gratefulness to two people who have been such a profound influence in our lives - for me, almost three decades. My first call was to a gifted recording engineer, singer/songwriter, actor and voice-over artist, and fortunately my student and friend, Michael Chandler. The second was to my dear friend, incredible flutist, and my high school student 40 years ago -- Laura Limon Scott. The third was to wonderful pianist and organist, Greg Schreiner. To say that we were all excited about the possibility of working together to support Ilene and Conrad is putting it mildly. We had a relatively short but truly magical time together -- making music knowing full well the depth of our purpose. If I have one regret, it is that Anna Romero couldn't join us -- I will only say -- Next time, Anna!!!

I truly look forward to the CD and feeling the wholeness and connectedness of all of us who have opened to the wonderful "possibility" of the amazing energy of the project."

From Fort Wayne, we echo Carol's words. This is a magical time and a magical project with a wonderful connectedness not only between the musicians and all who worked on this CD, but also a connectedness with all of you who are streaming energy to the project, and publicizing it, and purchasing CDs. Thank you!

NOW: A bit of trivia. What is a yidaki (played on track 9)? yidaki - from the website: The didgeridoo is a wind instrument developed by Indigenous Australians of northern Australia around 1,500 years ago and still in widespread use today both in Australia and around the world. It is sometimes described as a natural wooden trumpet or "drone pipe". So now you know. And....my apologies to all yidaki players everywhere: somehow a typo got past us, and it's spelled wrong on the CD cover. Yikes! So, really it is a yidaki. Love to all.

Thank you for this outpouring of love!

WE ARE NOW AT $500 sales. Thank you to all who have ordered the Love Streams CD in this last 36 hours!

We are reminded of the words to the song that Jennifer sings in Track 2 of the Love Streams CD:

Here is love felt for all and forever. Love lies within us: Always, always here.

Now we are aware for all and forever. there's a choice for love: to always, always be here.

Strong, our love is, for our hearts are open. Always. Here.

We now have a complete album called Love Streams

This is the second blog writing of this project. To find out why and what....scroll down to the first blog writing.

When a person is creating an album there are several phases to the process. The first phase is realizing that a CD could exist and opening up to it's potential. The second phase is actually performing the music and recording the CD. During this second phase, you also have the artwork for the CD created and the graphic design work that places the art within the context of all of the information that the listener wants.

In this particular project called Love Streams: A Benefit album for Ilene Satala, many friends of Ilene from the Midwest and California have come together to create the album. As a result, there is a power to this music that can only come from love manifesting through all the people involved.

WHO?

Profound thank you to the following:

WHAT WILL YOU HEAR?

The classical music of Carol Tingle singing the Schubert Ave Maria, and Laura Limon Scott, flautist for The Swan (Le Cygne) from Carnival of the Animals by Camille Saint-Saens, and Bach-Gounod Ave Maria. What can I say about how beautiful this music is? When I opened up the files that they sent me from California and listened, my heart expanded and I just felt joy in the beauty that they had created with voice and with flute. Love!

*****The title piece of this CD is original instrumental music composed and performed by me, Beverly Rieger, as Love Streams. This new music flowed effortlessly and quickly through me to you. Love manifesting! I also included Heart Love from my Healing Music for the 21st Century album.

*****Raymond Moon-Gabet plays percussion, and throat singing, along with David Will and David Fyfe on percussion and together they create the original composition called Jaguar Dance.

*****Raymond also plays the Yidaki and creates the original piece called Yuti: The Dreamed World. This original music is a world music creation....bringing to you an indigenous, vibrant meditation. You will be transported into a deep and profound part of yourself, and may find yourself wanting to dance! This is very physical music.

*****David Fyfe sings and plays piano for his own original ballad called Do It Now. David's music is a "teaching" on love manifested through our lives. He opened to the world of spirit, the world of love, and it spoke to him in these words.

*****Jennifer Patterson sings her original piece "Here Is Love Found". From her soul to yours....Jennifer's warmth surrounds you, the listener, in love. Her voice is a lovely, gentle, strong, song.

*****Robin Sharp plays his original instrumental music called "Always and Forever". Robin weaves with keyboard and guitar a joyful weaving of beauty and wisdom that has a lot of vitality. Love is always and forever. It creates us into our life purpose and supports us as we manifest love through our gifted spirits.

This fire comes from a ritual performed in the Mayan lands as a healing ritual for Ilene. Thought you would enjoy seeing what the fire is creating....the power of love to heal.

love to all.

Paying It Forward. Love Streaming

Life is a flowing and fluid pouring of love from one person to another person. Love is the essence of the Universe, the weaving of all life on Planet Earth, and the core of human beings.

People come into our lives who have been powerful givers of unconditional love. Ilene and Conrad Satala are such people. Now, they need our love and care. Many of you reading this have contributed so much already to help them, and now here is another way.

A new CD has been created by musicians in the Midwest and in California called Love Streams. The musicians, recording studio, artist for graphic design, project manager, website design manager....all are donating their time and expertise in love. Paying it forward. You, the person who buys the CD, promotes the CD to friends, co-workers, family, listens to the new CD, meditates and sends light and love energy into this project for success.....you are paying it forward.

We have felt nothing but joy in organizing this benefit project called "Love Streams". We are connected to the unseen world of spirit that has inspired this project, and that world is supporting it. The excitement of all of you is tangible.

Here is Ilene's story.

Ilene Satala is an artist and teacher. She has inspired and supported artists of all kinds over the last many, many years through her teaching and her presence. Ilene's artwork is on the cover of The Beloved CD, The Journey of Joy CD, and Mayan Dream/Dancers of the Flame CD. She has painted, in many media, soul paintings for lots of people to support their life purpose, and has brought beauty to many parts of the world through her art. Her Facebook page is https://www.facebook.com/ilene.satala if you would like to see some of her artwork.

In April of 2013 while Ilene was visiting California, she entered the hospital with extreme pain. Within 3 days she had spine surgery because of fractures in her spine that would have caused paralysis. She was also diagnosed with a recurrence of her breast cancer. This began a journey of hospital stays, chemo, radiation, more complications resulting in more hospital stays and the bills have grown to very large figures. Meanwhile, Conrad (a self-employed transformational counselor and Ilene's husband) was unable to work a regular schedule because of his caring for Ilene. You can imagine adding the loss of income by both Conrad and Ilene to the major medical bills they are facing.

Paying it forward.....let's do it!! With love, joy, kindness, caring, peaceful hearts let's help Conrad and Ilene through this most powerful time of transformation and healing.

Profound gratitude to all who have donated their time and expertise to this project.
