    I am asking for your support in having my 3 day Under the Piano event (May 11, 12 & 13) be a tremendous success. The event is an opportunity to celebrate and honour all the mothers in our lives with an ultimate, unique and beautiful experience - an Under the Piano session of course. Lucky participants get the added bonus of a beautiful flower(s) when the complete the session.
    To fulfill on my request I am asking that you simply tweet, facebook, google plus and/or email 2 links to your communities.
    The first link is for my blog post "Mother's Day - What is the Perfect Gift?" It's about the proven and better value of experiences compared to material things. It is not a promotion about my event, but it speaks to the value of my event. The link for this is:
    http://bit.ly/ItJZHc

    The second link is for the event itself. I've set it up on facebook. Please share the link with your facebook friends and tweet about it to. Here is the link:
    http://on.fb.me/UtPMothersDayGift

    Any sharing is much appreciated.

    If you have experienced Under the Piano, you can also comment on the blog post and recommend Under the Piano as a great experience. The post asks readers to share what they think is a great Mother's Day idea.

The game continues until noon this Friday, May 11. I'll be keeping you posted on additional and simple opportunities to share about Under the Piano this week. I'm curious to see what can be created simply by having as many people as possible share. So you know, the current results since I started promoting last Friday are 1 booking and 2 serious leads (one through a Facebook share).

    • Craig Addy Hi Julie,

      Thanks for checking out my website. I got your message and have sent a reply. Let me know if you have any other questions. Are you considering this for Mother's Day or just in general?

    The 2nd link is for the actual Mother's Day event. It is important to share this one as well, because the blog post is not a promotion for the event and has no call to action to attend the event. Here is the link for the facebook event I created: Under the Piano - The Ultimate Mother's Day Gift

    I'm truly grateful for any and all sharing help you can give.

    PS: If you have experienced Under the Piano, please fell free to comment on my blog post which ends with a request for your ideas about a great Mother's Day Experience (hint, hint, hint)

If any of you are stressed out at work or with your life, I thought you might enjoy taking 10 minutes to breathe deeply and have a beautiful sonic break. "Meditation in a Storm" has an interesting and darkly coincidental genesis, so I have blogged about it and embedded the music for you to listen to if you like.

    Today at HOBN, I shared about the remarkable response I got to my request for "Recommendations" on LinkedIn. When Carlos of Art of Headshots asked me for a recommendation, I happily gave it because he does excellent work. Then I thought, "I should ask for some recommendations too". I looked through my LinkedIn connections and identified 36 people who had Under the Piano sessions with me. I am amazed by the results. 17 people replied with wonderful, thoughtful testimonials - that's a 47% return on an email! This attests to how great an Under the PIano experience is.

    So, who do you know that would like to have such wonderful experience for themselves? Do you know any people in your life who are stressed and overwhelmed by life right now. If they are also piano and classical music lovers this is a sound massage they will definitely want to experience.

    Have them call me at 604-662-3053 or visit my website at http://www.UnderThePiano.ca. To get a sense of what an Under the Piano session can provide for you, see the recent 30 minute episode of The Big Picture featuring Under the Piano at http://www.thebigpicturesite.com/episode-7/

    Thanks Craig
