"Tesla's Christmas" a chance to give back.




It's been a tough year. My wife and I are very thankful to still have a roof over our heads and food on the table. Many are not as blessed. You see them on the streets, their homes have been foreclosed on. They barely have enough to get by... and some don't. Then, there are also the "other" family members, dogs, cats, etc. Some are abandoned on a highway, others killed at the end of their stay at the local animal shelter. Why?... because people don't have money to take care of them, let alone themselves.

About a month ago, I decided to use my music to give back. An eclectic project, "Tesla's Christmas", was born. The songs are comprised of Christmas Carols... some familiar and others not. Combining electronica with ancient sounding instruments, "these carols will remind you of something you've never heard before".
My wife and I will give all the profits we receive to a couple of charities that are close to our hearts:
The Rescue Mission of Salt Lake City and No More Homeless Pets in Utah
This is the very least we can do to help... Christmas should last 365 days a year.
Blessings, Richard & Cyndi Souther

There but for the Grace of God go I...



As we move into this winter season coming up to Christmas, there will probably be more people living on the streets that could rival the Great Depression of 1929. People who lost their homes, jobs, no food or money. Good people who are willing to do almost anything to survive. It sounds like a Dickens novel, but it's all too real.
There are a lot of us who are close to that place. There but for the Grace of God go I.

Maybe you don't have a lot of money at this time to give to charities but one act of kindness can go along way. Buying a stranger a meal, filling someone's gas tank, adopting an animal, even giving someone a smile as corny as that may sound.
America in many ways is sheltered from "certain realities" that are in her own back yard. "Man's inhumanity to man" is more than just an old quote by
Robert Burns.

Your helping hand is what is needed this season. Don't depend on our government to do something that you can do in a moment. No matter what your beliefs or your faith, do something outside yourself and make a difference in someone else's life. It's just way too easy to walk on by.
