St Theresa's Prayer

This was sent to me by my dear friends Connie & Bill with a beautiful photo of multi colored flowers...love the prayer, goes along with Francis deSales saying "great occassions for serving God come seldom, but little ones suround us daily"...thanks Connie & Bill!
Saint Theresa's Prayer
May today there be peace within.
May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.
May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.
May you be confident knowing you are a child of God.

I'm off to St Stephen's in Chesapeake, VA tonight to celebrate prayer through music!

Kim & her friends

When I was a kid we lived in an area of northern New Jersey that was still farm country. When we drove pass the dairy farms with all the dairy cows out in the pasture, my Dad would always say jokingly: "there's Kim & all her friends" ...I think it was because I liked animals or playing in the mud, not sure which...so when we were visiting our friend, Janet in Asheville, NC a few weeks ago at her 200 acre farm (yes I did manage to get a few days in of R&R) I couldn't resist having my photo taken with, you guessed it, The Cows...if nothing else for my Dad...and NO I did not have my boots on but I will remember for next time! some deep sh...oveling! Thanks Janet! You can visit her website at www.heavenlyhideawaycabin.com to see the estate and book a nice romantic cabin with great views and plenty to do. This photo is of me with Valentine, the newest addition to the family.
Happy Easter!

Spring has sprung!

Just a month ago I was sitting at my desk bored...careful what you wish...now I can't see my desk!! It's Holy week so needless to say I'll be busy with masses at Holy Redeemer and Holy Trinity. It is beautiful at the beach and the dolpins say Hi!
Florida in February was wonderful! The Women's Conference for the Diocese of Orlando had a turnout of about 200 woman...met some terrific woman, all on the same page spiritually...it was very energizing...thank you Winkie and Susie and staff!! I felt very much at home at the Continental Christian Church on Sunday as that was a return visit...great vibe..thank you Chuck and church family! Monday at the Church on the Square in the Villages (a city unto itself) I visited with family and lots of friends...we packed the place! Great venue...if you get to FL, go visit!! I even ran into folks from the old neighborhood in Ironia NJ, the Ameos...nice to see them and catch up...been a while!!
The end of this month into May I will be traveling to Northern Virginia to a variety of venues: churches, restaurants, a festival and living room concert! Check out the calendar on my web site for specific info. I have room for a few other bookings in that week so if you have something in mind, contact me asap (kim@kimkalman.com)
May 21 will be a fundraiser concert at Holy Redeemer for our Oblates schools...put that on your calendar if you're in the area...I'll have a few local musicians joining me ...should be an exciting night...more info to come...
People have been asking about new projects but nothing in the hopper for this season...I actually have a few on the list I'd like to do in the future but haven't set any studio dates yet...you'll be the first to know!
thank you as always for your support...good to hear from everyone...see ya on the road!
