Working along

Today I have been working on editing my website at www.davidduir.com and some other things for shameless self promotion. I also had a great interview with James Dempsey today for the Awen's Path Podcast which will release this Sunday. It has been a ton of fun but taken quite a bit of time and work, and of course I still keep plugging along at the day job and the writing.

So fun, so tiring, but so rewarding. I am grateful for it all. For a bit of a preview of Sunday's Podcast check out http://thegratitudemall.com which is James' website. Until next time.

The bad and the good

Well yesterday I was expecting a package which never arrived and the lovely tracking information says it was delivered. I am hoping it will all come out well Monday. I have phoned the post office yesterday but was informed they would not be able to speak to the driver again until Monday. I am hoping either he scanned it and forgot to put it off his truck or that it was delivered to the wrong person who will see they are the wrong person and either bring it to me or return it to the carrier on Monday and he will bring it to me. Needless to say I will be phoning the post office again Monday morning to see if I can get this all fixed up.

Now the good news. I've just put up Awen's Path Episode 18 Featuring Jamie Woodhead author of The Reaper which is available on Kindle, Nook and at www.oaklightpublishing.com feel free to check it out. I've also updated my webpage at www.davidduir.com and cleaned up one of my cafepress shops a bit so I am at least able to keep myself busy.

Lots of work and loving it

Well I'm currently working on many projects plus my day job. This of course is keeping me quite busy but I am loving every moment of it. As you can see in previous posts I've also been trying to spread the word about the Dreams Awake Movie and of course all the stuff from Oaklight Publishing.

Today I updated my official webpage at www.davidduir.com which is also the home of the Awen's Path Podcast and fixed the feed for the podcast because it wasn't showing up on iTunes because there was an error, all fixed now. Who knew one out of place w would screw up an rss feed? I guess I do now. But all in all things are going well and I am happy to be doing it all.

I've added a page to my website which tells about the fact that I am seeking contributors for an anthology about music. Musicians, Music Therapists and such are being sought to contribute, contact info can be found on the page.

I am striving to keep updating the blog a couple of times a week with what is going on and what is important to me, I hope all you readers enjoy.

Until Next time. Be well.

Awen's Path Podcast Ep 17 Featuring Jerry Alden Deal

This week on the Awen's Path Podcast (http://www.davidduir.com/Podcast/Podcast.html) I interview the Writer/Producer/Director of the movie Dreams Awake Jerry Alden Deal. It is a great interview and touches on quite a bit. It discusses the movie, the cast and spirituality at large. Feel free to check it out. I have posted a few times about this movie because it really has struck a chord with me. It has not only been entertaining and enlightening to watch it but it has inspired me for a couple projects of my own in the works.







About my own projects I am currently seeking musicians, music therapists and anyone who uses music and sound for their work who might be interested in contributing to an anthology I want to put together to please contact me at Oaklightquery@cox.net. Please feel free to contact me if you are interested or just want more info.

Also anyone out there who might want to be a guest on my podcast or knows someone who wants to be a guest please feel free to e-mail Awenspath@cox.net. You can also e-mail to tell me what you think of the podcast and your points of view on it all.

Also to all my followers and future followers I am planning on blogging more frequently about a variety of topics, many to do with spirituality but others as well. I may even rant from time to time as life often makes us want to. So please keep reading and let me know what you think. I will also be starting to review some select books and movies on my blog not because I have been asked to but because they have touched me in some way.

I hope the future content will get better as we go along, for that is what I am striving for. So remember to check back frequently, tell your friends and also check out the Awen's Path podcast at davidduir.com and on iTunes.

A busy but fun time

With the Holiday Season in full swing and the Solstice fast approaching things have been quite busy though I am having a great time. Lots of work and lots of fun this time of year and the important bit is to find the balance in it. Everything is good in Moderation and I really wish all of you a happy and healthy holiday season.

This week on the Awen's Path Podcast our guest is Selena Fox and we discuss Celebrating the Winter Solstice and how its has been celebrated in times past. It was great to talk with Selena and fun to boot. You can find more info about Selena at http://www.selenafox.com and http://www.circlesanctuary.org.

Hope you all enjoy. Have a great Holiday Season!

This week and Beyond

Been a great though busy week as stated in my previous post. This week I've had the chance to interview Raven Digitalis for this Sunday's (12-5-2010) Podcast and that went absolutely awesome with some great conversation. Working today on other guests as well as ideas for the show etc.

Along with the work on the Podcast I've been working on some writing as well as with some other stuff on the publishing and marketing sides of our other books. Today Trinity of Wisdom by Mark Knight went live on iBooks and is now available for iBooks in the US, UK, Canada, Germany, France and Austrailia. Its just great knowing that all this is happening these days with my publisher, Mark's Book is great and I am still so excited that Rosa's book Taking 1960 got picked to be shelved at Barnes and Noble. If you don't see it at your local store but want it please feel free to request it, I know they plan on starting with a store or stores local to Rosa.

My day job goes on as it does and I keep enjoying the time with my friends and family. Its going to be a great holiday season I can see that now. With luck I'll have some more writing out there in one form or another sooner or later. Lots of work with Kindle, Nook and iBooks. It should be a wonderful time as the year ticks on. I am so enjoying life these days with the Podcast and writing and my wonderful three year old. I am so looking forward to all the great guests we're going to have coming on the show even if I am not sure who are going to be yet. So far its been a great learning experience and I am hopeful that others find it this way while listening. If this contest goes as well as it seems I will most likely be holding more perhaps future ones with other prizes from guests or sponsors of the contests but who knows.

Spirituality and life keep me going and I enjoy it all the time. The wheel of the year keeps turning round and I can't wait to see what it will bring with its turning. Learning from other's views on spirituality has been quite nice indeed and I really am finding it to be a great source of inspiration in my life. Hoping to get some feedback on the podcast some time.


Well until next time....

Been a busy week

Its been a busy week with Thanksgiving and all. Yesterday I posted the new episode of the Awen's Path podcast featuring 2 wonderful UK artists and friends, Seawitch artist (www.seawitchartist.com) and Lusete (lusete.deviantart.com). They were great guests and I interviewed them both early last week thankfully as Wednesday I came down with a bad cold. The bad cold has turned into an infection which luckily now I have medicine for and hopefully will recover quickly as I have to interview next weeks guest (which should be a good one) tomorrow night. I especially hope my voice recovers or I may come across a bit rough in the next one.

With the holiday and all and some time off work it was pretty good other than the being ill bit. Hoping this week will be a really good one.

Continuing on Awen's Path

Well the podcast is now officially in its third week and seems to be gaining strength and hopefully listeners. Haven't had a ton of feedback yet but it is just starting after all. This week for my third episode I was honored to have Damh the Bard aka David Smith a brilliant pagan folk musician on the show. It was wonderful talking to him and went a little over my usual one hour time limit but what the hell it was fun. The show is exciting and upbeat I really loved doing it and it seems to get more fun with each podcast. I did on iTunes mark this podcast as explicit due to the single use of the word shit. I know it doesn't seem excessive but I did want to make sure it passed all their parental guidelines for sure. Well I am extremely excited because there are tons of wonderful guests coming up through the coming months. It should be a real hoot and a great learning experience.

And everyone go check out Damh the Bard's website at http://www.paganmusic.co.uk its a great site and showcases all of his work and where to get it.
