Let’s Get Ready with Cedar Valley Publishing

Encourage your friends to be a part of the World Wide Sound Wave on the 11 October 2008!!! Make it a FUN or FUND  raiser to get music and art back into the schools and back into the homes!

We are doing for Music and humanity what Earth Day is doing for the Earth and humanity. Please help spread the word!

Hope for the 21st Century — Join us where ever you are for the 2nd global celebration of Universal Music Day.

In today’s complex world, we seek a universal language that speaks through our hearts to remind us of simpler times. Wouldn’t it be comforting to know there already is such a language? Well there is, and Music IS that universal language.

Music is man’s oldest language, humanity’s universal speech. It, alone, can harmonize and unify nations, peoples. Music has the unique ability to move us to tears with soulful ballads, restore hope though upbeat rhythms, and recall happier times through sensuous tropical drumbeats. Music can remind us of the wonders of nature, the kindness of strangers, and the overall goodness of humanity.

So mark your calendars, plan your events and celebrate the Second Annual Universal Music Day on the 11 October 2008. Wherever you are, set aside some time to make music from your heart, preferably with a group of friends. Help us create a World-Wide Sound Wave on the Second Saturday of October each year.

Music is Sound, Silence and Vibrations. We invite you to form an intention to create a world of Peace, Love, Justice and Joy. And we can do it – we can cut through the cacophony of modern life – through the magic, through the power of music!

Join old friends and make new ones around the world as we work together to make every day a MUSIC DAY for our health and well-being! Plan to attend one of our local or international events with your family, your friends, or simply by yourself. And please visit www.UniversalMusicDay.org for more information. We’d like you to email us about your event so we can post it on our Events Calendar in hopes of having others join you on Universal Music Day on October 11, 2008!

Let’s make the magic of music echo ‘round the world on October 11. Don’t miss it!

I would like to take this moment to thank all the parents…

• Who smile and say, “been there” when it’s my child having a meltdown in the store.
• Who open the door when they see me struggling to carry multiple kids and an umbrella.
• Who offer to take a picture so the entire family to be in the shot.

It really does take a village to raise a child.  Have we forgotten something?  What would you like to thank other parents for contributing?
