ROBBIE MCDONALD

Robbie cut his teeth in indie rock bands on the Sunset Strip but his time spent in Ireland defined him as a songwriter. With nods to Damien Rice, Hedwig and Sondheim, Robbie pens torchy pop gems on piano, guitar, banjo and ukulele. His most recent release, Say Yes! is a love letter to the betrothed, be he hunky bear (Say Yes) or little blue pill (Sunny Afternoon). It’s about relationships and addictions of every stripe.

Latest news: Robbie to host Afternoon Delight on the Songwriting School channel. Based on ’70s talk shows such as Merv Griffin, Dinah Shore and Mike Douglas, this chatstravaganza will feature up-and-coming talent from the songwriting school and beyond. Stay tuned.

About American Nuremburg: The U.S. Officials Who Should Stand Trial for Post-9/11 War Crimes by Rebecca Gordon...

No subject is more hotly debated than the extreme measures that our government has taken after 9/11 in the name of national security. Torture, extraordinary rendition, drone assassinations, secret detention centers (or “black sites”), massive surveillance of citizens. But while the press occasionally exposes the dark side of the war on terror and congressional investigators sometimes raise alarms about the abuses committed by U.S. intelligence agencies and armed forces, no high U.S. official has been prosecuted for these violations – which many legal observers around the world consider war crimes.

The United States helped establish the international principles guiding the prosecution of war crimes – starting with the Nuremberg tribunal following World War II, when Nazi officials were held accountable for their crimes against humanity. But the American government and legal system have consistently refused to apply these same principles to our own officials. Now Rebecca Gordon takes on the explosive task of “indicting” the officials who – in a just society – should be put on trial for war crimes. Some might dismiss this as a symbolic exercise. But what is at stake here is the very soul of the nation.

My name is Bill O’Connell. I live in a small mountain town in Colorado called Guffey. I am a Reiki Master/Teacher and an Equine Massage Therapist. I became a massage therapist in January 2013 through the Rocky Mountain School of Animal Acupressure and Massage. I initially learned Reiki levels 1 & 2 to add to my massage practice in March 2014. Little did I know then how Reiki would change my life. I thought I was just going to learn how to do energy work with horses and better my massage practice and hopefully increase my business. But Reiki had different plans for me. It changed my life! One month after being attuned to levels one & two I found myself in my first yoga class, and on that same day became a vegetarian! My path to my own healing and self-transformation had begun. From that first day of being attuned to Reiki in March 2014, it became my way of life. I loved it immediately. I have used Reiki for myself and others, including animals, every day since that first day. Reiki has also become my spiritual path. It has guided me and lifted me to new spiritual heights. I knew I had found the road I was meant to be on, the Road of Reiki!

In April 2015, I became a Reiki Master/Teacher and became an affiliate member of the Reiki Membership Association. This association is through the International Center for Reiki Training. I love teaching and sharing Reiki with others. I feel very blessed to be able to do this. I teach classes at a few different locations in Colorado, as well as do Reiki sessions for people and animals. I have also taught in Alaska and soon to teach in North Carolina. I will also travel anywhere in Colorado where we can put a class together. Please feel free to contact me if you are interested in coming to a scheduled class, or having me come to your location to teach a class or classes, or if you have any questions about Reiki. I teach all levels of Reiki: Levels 1 & 2 and Advanced Reiki Training & Reiki Master Training. These classes are all Usui/Holy Fire Reiki.
