Kaleidoscope Ride continues in Ontario...

Hi Everyone,

Sara and I traveled to Burlington, Ontario this past weekend for another Kaleidoscope Performance!  Both Brian and Rog from our tour crew as well as Roger's daughter Caley (on bass) accompanied us.  I hope to have a few pictures from that show later this week. 

It was another terrific performance and wowed our audience with it's energy, music and Sara's talent! 

Many people have commented to me throughout the tour about the quality of the performance and power of the music presentation.  We have received many e-mails and comments on the performances, one from someone with a recent diagnosis of Autism - that really show the impact of the message and music.  We wanted to encourage, share and inspire others (both within and outside of the realm of ASD) to build on "possibilities", talents and gifts.  We also wanted to provide an opportunity for families and individuals to celebrate their many gifts and abilities. 

Thank you to those who have shared those experiences and stories with us!  We'd love to hear more stories and impressions from those that have attended our performances or listened to our music and project message.  We learn from your journey as well.  It never fails to amaze me how families and individuals find ways to focus on the positives and build on them.

I'll keep you updated as the next leg of our journey to Eastern Canada develops as well as when our newer cd is available.  There are other materials including my new book "Possibilities" that will be available through our website and at our tour stops.

Sara has been enjoying some relaxation time and unwinding from the tour schedule.  We will be appearing at an upcoming Blue Jays game at the Rogers Center in Toronto on Wednesday, August 20th (vs the Yankees) to sing the National Anthems.  This is a Blue Jays event - Autism Day - so if you're in the region please come out and support this awareness event!  This will be the 5th year that Sara and I have performed at the Blue Jays Autism Day game.

We hope that everyone is enjoying the rest of the summer!  It is going too quickly!

hugs,

Kim

Hey Barb!

Yes Caley is Rog's older daughter and actually has been playing bass with us for quite some time. This trip was Talia's first time playing with KiSara (although she is a great vocalist and guitar player as well). Talia, Caley and Ryan have already had their own band (before Caley went off to college) called the Demon Toads 80) Ryan sings as well (and plays drums and guitar).. they're all very talented!

I wanted to connect with Jonathon as well - but timing didn't cooperate - it's an amazing journey he's on as well!

Glad to hear all of the exciting updates - and looking forward to reading more of Patrick's writing (I have his Believe piece here). He inspired Sara as well - we're looking forward to seeing you on the 24th!

I'll bring up the books - no problem (and will be reordering more as I'm finding there's a lot of interest and they're selling quickly!).

See you soon... hugs

Kim
