A Big Beautiful Creation
I’m in the middle of a 30-day challenge to show up LIVE on Facebook every day – and to my delight, people email me their takeaways from those sessions. Thank you so much to the anonymous emailer who emailed me this one! It started when Clarice wrote in the...![Hand-to-Hand: Passing on “Baroque Flamenco”](https://www.hipharp.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/dhc-hrpbrk-blevin059-400p.jpg)

WHRO Norfolk studio interview with Wayla Chambo

ON THE ROAD to Norfolk, VA & S.F. Bay Area
I arrived in Norfolk late Wednesday night and spent the day yesterday practicing, foraging for food, fixing my harp harness and exploring Norfolk.
