Blueberries

It started out as a monthly event that I did back in high school where I'd bring in my guitar and play music for people in the cafeterias.  I would normally keep it upbeat and inspirational to help lighten the load of the stresses of classes and life.  It later evolved into a little web series in freshman year of college where I wanted it to be a platform for music and motivation.  I have featured a number of artists from my college community on it for my “Concert Series” specials, and have included community and charity highlights to help shed light on important topics and causes.  Then, during the earlier months of the pandemic, I did weekly live stream concerts for friends and family.  I would assess the vibe of the week, along with taking recommendations, and would create various themes.  

After taking a break, I want to return to more narrative/interview based episodes, along with turning it into a podcast. In this new podcast format, this will be a part of what I will be calling “Walsh Wednesday: The Reflective Series." I want to sit down and talk with people in various job fields about how Covid has affected business, but also highlight the creativity and process people have been making, especially speaking with colleagues in the music and film industries, along with continuing to highlight charity organizations.  Besides that, I really want to focus on the topic of mindfulness throughout.  During this pandemic, I got to a point where I felt very lost and outside myself.  It was a bit of an identity crisis of sorts, and I’ve been looking for positive outlets in order to learn, grow, and rebuild.  As I'm finding my way back, I want to highlight and dedicate other episodes to topics that are important to me, such as loss/grieving, alcohol abuse, therapy, benefits of meditation, various aspects of the healthcare system, mindfulness, and much more.  “Walsh Wednesday” is supposed to be a dialogue, not a monologue, so I am very excited to "Shine" some light on some great conversations!  So, say "Yes" to tuning into this Walsh Wednesday Podcast, and I look forward to "Spending Some Time."
