The Word From Mitch |
"Summertime... and the Livin' is..."
Well, maybe not 'easy' exactly, but there's certainly something magical in the air. It's been a full and fulfilling summer so far. Sorry to be out of touch for so long, as I've been busy with projects over the last few months, including some major landscaping and gardening around home, as well as a PR campaign to promote my book and my speaking programs.
Among other things, I've done several radio interviews that've been both fun and somewhat illuminating. One thing I've learned is that my grasp of the essentials of peak performance, creativity, and personal transformation extends significantly beyond just being able to present prepared talks on the subjects. In interview situations where I'm often faced with unexpected questions demanding a bit more depth, I frequently find myself responding with insights that I didn't even realize I had. Answers seem to spring forth that are often valuable, clear, and practical beyond anything I've stated previously, and I find that I'm learning more myself in the process. I just love the experience of inspiration (and I love sharing it!) If you'd like to check out some of my interviews, I've included a few links to some of them in the "News" section below.
I hope you're having a spectacularly magical and inspiring summer. Please keep in touch and share your inspiring magical moments when you can.
"The appearance of things change according to the emotions, and thus we see magic and beauty in them, while the magic and beauty are really in ourselves."
--Kahlil Gibran

Cherry Street Restaurant and Bar |
Continuing on most Saturday evenings, you can enjoy my tableside close up magic at Cherry Street in Galesburg. I've said it before, but this is definitely one of the funnest places I've worked. The regulars there will tell you that there's something truly special about the atmosphere that owners Lou and Stan Devlin set. Feel free to call me or Cherry Street for my schedule updates, and I'll see you there soon!
(Please note: I won't be at Cherry Street the next two Saturdays, August 31, for Labor Day weekend, and September 7, as I have a private engagement that evening.)

Upcoming Events |
Just a heads up to watch for some special events that will be coming up in the not too distant future. I have some possible new restaurant appearances in the works, and will send out information as soon as I have it. Plans are also in the works for my third annual ART of Magic show at Cherry Street in Galesburg. We don't have the date set yet, but it should be sometime in late January, and I'll let you know as soon as I do. I'm also really excited to be doing a special performance of as a special guest performing artist at the Many Lights Theatre here in Canton. My show will be running there next February 21--23, and I'll be sharing more details as it gets a little closer.

Hope to see you there.

Recipe of the Month: Spicy Garlic Veggie Stir Fry |
One thing I love about summer is all the wonderful fresh veggies and herbs from the garden. Here's a recipe I improvised a while back on the spur of the moment, and just LOVED it!
1 - 2 cups Fresh green beans
1 - 2 cups Fresh zucchini, thinly sliced
1 cup Fresh cherry tomatoes, halved |
1 Small eggplant, cut in ½" cubes
2 -3 Small serrano chiles (or 1 small cayenne)
2 Large cloves garlic, finely chopped |
Approx. ½ - 1 cup Fresh basil leaves
Olive oil
White cooking wine |
Heat some olive oil in a large wok over medium high heat. Add the green beans and toss to cover in the oil; immediately add the garlic and toss again. Cook for 2 - 3 minutes then add a large splash of cooking wine. Add the zucchini, eggplant, and chiles; toss, cover, and cook for several minutes, allowing the wine to steam the veggies. Add the basil leaves and cherry tomatoes, toss, cover and cook for a few more minutes until the veggies are just becoming soft but still fairly crisp. Serve and Enjoy!
