I met Richard Mekdeci, the heart and soul of Itoi Music, at the recent (August 2007) IONS (Institute of Noetic Sciences) Conference. In addition to Richard’s significant endowments as an inspirational singer-songwriter and musician, Richard is a co-founder of I to i Ministries,, a non-profit consecrated to bringing positive spiritual music to people of all faith traditions. Part of what I to i Ministries and Richard have formulated is an chance to vote on your bestloved songs, which may be accomplished online. Their latest compilation CD, Imagination to Inspiration, is a genuinely wonder-filled chalice of heart-opening songs. Focused on the Global New Thought community, which includes Religious Science, Unity and affiliated churches, Imagination to Inspiration showcases 19 tracks by 18 dissimilar musicians. Every song features inspiring lyrics that invite us to co-create a world where everyone, everyplace feels safe, loved and celebrated. Having listened to this extremely pleasing collection perchance a dozen times, I may say that I have yet to get all the way through it without, sooner or later, tears of joy and thanksgiving streaming down my face. Just a couple of my bestloved songs on Imagination to Inspiration include the piano-based, county-tinged “Real Men Cry,” by Karen Taylor Good. Giving men permission to feel their sensations is a passion of mine, and I love what Karen did with this track. “Do All You Can,” by Devotion, is a delightfully intoxicating call to “be the modify you wish to see.” Richard and I to i are performing miracles with genuinely inspired (in-spirited) music each day. Listening to this unbelievable collection is sure to put a smile on your face and a song in your heart. Kudos to Richard and his aweinspiring team for Being the Change! |
