Homecoming with Jessica

Dear Friends, Imagine..at a designated moment, EVERYONE in the world thinks one good thought. We'll feel connected. We'll realize, as the Apollo astronaut Edgar Mitchell said--his life transformed by seeing the Earth from space--"We Are One." Faster than light, these good thoughts will infuse the Universe, rippling into the vast celestial realms. And then, finally, we'll become welcomed ambassador...

This video/podcast features my encounters with some extraordinary people. And it's inspired by a question that the great Albert Einstein posed to us all: “I think the most important question facing humanity is, ‘Is the universe a friendly place?’ This is the first and most basic question all people must answer for themselves." As you'll see, I believe that the affirmative answer to this question--...

I've played "Amazing Grace" for years. It's my 'go-to' song. Whatever my circumstance, my hopes, challenges, whatever time of day or place--the melody and lyrics conjure the sense of eternity and redemption, born of the transfigured conscience of John Newton, a former slave ship captain in England in the late 1700's. One afternoon, more than two hundred years after Newton composed this hymn, here...

In this time of AI, we're being challenged to recognize what IS authentic, and to ask ourselves who are we, REALLY? In that light, I'm sharing this little story. It's an encounter with a little boy and his mom in a shop here in my village. The conversation with this boy was precious and innocent. It has stayed with me. I believe that a key to our human future is in these moments of truth, goodness...

Amidst the challenges we face, I hope these messages provide a feeling of hope and peace. Inspired by the timeless words of the great English poet, William Blake, I share my experiences in nature. As I've realized, finding quiet time for contemplation helps us to "cleanse our perception," so we can see the world anew. With love, Jessica ❤ Music: "In the Garden," from my CD, "Light Born of Light."...

Once upon a time, there was a very special person--a woman who stood barely five feet tall, but whose love illuminated everything she encountered. When I was a little girl, she came to be with me as my nanny. As time went on, her care would nurture my life and my soul. Years later, we were walking together in New York City. That experience is what I share with you here--her admiration for a tiny f...

This podcast episode, with original piano music, describes the source of the electromagnetic radiation that impacted me and changed my life. In the direct line of a new 15gHz parabolic radio receiver installed nearby, it became difficult to function, with many physical and cognitive effects. As a result, I sought refuge at the ocean amidst the ancient rocks and calming atmosphere of the sea. (See...

This music-and-story episode titled, "Rock On," is the next instalment, describing this life-changing period in my life. As I play blues and gospel, I reflect on a life guided by signs from sources seen and unseen. In that light, I focus on the power of music in these times of great challenge. Music enlivens the soul, AND it's a way for the Universe-God-Creation to communicate with, and support us...

What if the Earth herself is the source of all healing—mind, body and soul? That’s the theme of this "Homecoming with Jessica" podcast episode. It follows from the previous one, "A Night That Changed Everything,” where I describe being awakened by the intense feeling of electromagnetic radiation. Alarmed and confused, I’d no idea where it was coming from... In desperation, I sought refuge at the o...

#emfs #hope #AmazingGrace #cosmos #consciousness Like many, I believe that the evidence suggests: we're not alone in the Cosmos. Indeed, there are realms of life invested in, and here to assist in our succeeding in this grand challenge called, "Human Life." Amidst it all, our ability to affect change--and our roles here on Earth--are more potent and important than ever! In this light, I share the...

This video, enhanced by piano music, is inspired by the UFO (UAP) sightings that are igniting global interest at an unprecedented level. I see this phenomena as incredibly positive because of my own recent situation... Several months ago, a life-changing circumstance meant that I could not be in my home safely. I was forced to spend hours in the nurturing presence of the ocean, a place where I rec...

Mr. Garth Webber, my fabulous guitar-master-colleague joins me for this podcast--an intermingling of guitar, vocal narrative, piano and song, that gives rise to story and message. This one is inspired by Neil Young's prescient encouragement, "Don't Let It Bring You Down." In the midst of everything we're grappling with, individually and as a human species, 50 years ago Neil Young gave us marvellou...

A story told through two songs: In "Like a Rolling Stone," Bob Dylan really got what it's like to be uprooted. As I've played this timeless classic, the great Island song, "Red, Red Wine" kept coming to me. So this is a dialogue between a person who provides cautionary insight, and the friend who's become the ''rolling stone." In rhythm, chord progressions, and deep meaning, these two songs go tog...

With world-class guitarist, Garth Webber, we pay tribute to the enduring message and music of Reggae king, Bob Marley. Through my spoken reflections, piano melodies and Garth's fabulous guitar music and studio production, we highlight Bob Marley's vision of the future--a world where we live together in peace. And how do we get there? Through music, through our stepping forward together, and throug...

After decades of estrangement and difficulty, my mother's love, now, is something I'd longed for--but could hardly have imagined. In a moment, all the pain and hurt dissolve into a beautiful sea of warmth and...healing. And it happened, literally, in a nanosecond. And I think, what an incredible and significant phenomenon, as I contemplate how: All the divisions of life, cultures, humanity, our pe...

For this podcast episode, I am honored and delighted to present a new musical collaboration--with world-class guitarist, Garth Webber. Garth has played alongside the finest rock, blues and jazz musicians of our time--among them, Gregg Allman, John Lee Hooker, Dr. John, Robben Ford, Bill Champlin, Bob Weir and--Miles Davis--widely considered the most influential musician in the history of jazz. The...

As piano melodies flow through me, I offer insights into our lives, our world, and our souls. I'm inspired both by the beloved song, "Amazing Grace," born of a man's transfigured consciousness; and by an interview with Gregg Braden, renowned visionary and cutting-edge researcher/thinker. In a spontaneous flow, I share thoughts on who we are and where we're going, poised at this pivotal point in hu...

In this podcast, as I sit on an ancient sea-side lava field, I reflect on the intrinsic connection between us all - no matter where we are. I describe two stories - of my dear friend, Ren, who likewise found herself amidst ancient lava fields in Hawaii; and my Canadian friend and 'fellow' poet and writer, Brenda Peddigrew who, like many in the Northeast, has been struggling with the effects of wid...

A chance encounter on a seaside path, led to insights into history and one of my favorite songs, "Amazing Grace." It also gave me pause to consider--what is 'grace, really? And what does it means for our consciousness to shift, so a new life on this planet can come into being. I cite, also, a conversation with Apollo astronaut, Edgar Mitchell, as he glimpsed our world, for the first time, from spa...

My grandmother made history as one of the USA's greatest theatrical costumers. Her business, "Mme Berthe Costumes," outfitted many of the stars and nightclub shows, including Lena Horne, Duke Ellington, Liza Minelli, The Cotton Club, Radio City Rockettes, and countless others, during the early to mid 20 century. As I was growing up, though, she was just my beloved "Tima," who'd swing me on the swi...

On Father's Day, I remember my beloved Dad and the gifts he's given me - humanity, song and a glorious vision of the world. This episode includes an excerpt from one of our conversations - the first that I've published. Happy Father's Day Dad! I love you always With gratitude to my sponsors: Roland Corporation Australia Haworths Shellharbour, New South Wales, Australia My dear Patreon patrons, and...

This podcast celebrates the simple acts of love and faith - in one's self, in another, in life itself. It's inspired by the great John Hiatt's beautiful ballad, "Have A Little Faith in Me." With love to all, Jessica Here is my YouTube video of this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7-b8Y241nw With gratitude to my sponsors: Roland Corporation Australia Haworths Shellharbour, New South Wales, A...

This podcast celebrates the sun in all its glory, within us and shining down. As we let our inner essence shine, we transform ourselves and each other, creating a new world. I sing "Here Comes the Sun," The Beatles' great anthem to light. With love to all, Jessica Here is my YouTube video of this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alXtfcwKACc With gratitude to my sponsors: Roland Corporation Au...

I'm restarting my podcast with heartfelt appreciation to all my listeners, new and established. This podcast celebrates the light in all its glory. As we embrace it, our hopes and dreams come to life, creating a new world. I sing "I Shall Be Released," Dylan's great anthem to freedom. With love to all, Jessica Here is the interview with Archbishop Desmond Tutu: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHsz...

Dear Friends, This concert is inspired by stories of faith - of people overcoming enormous odds and devastating circumstances to embrace the possibility of healing, hope and love. As I share these stories, I accompany the words with the music I've been requested to play in prayer and upliftment, including gospel, blues, hymns, popular melodies, and original compositions. Listen to my Livestream co...
