About the Song … Fire Flies
With everything in life, especially if you’re a singer/songwriter, there’s a story. And sometimes? It’s a little messy!
But I promise this one has a good ending :)
The core of the song is about letting go and in this case, it was about a person.
Why the Fire?!?
Behind the Song …Fire Flies
I'm So Excited My new Single FIRE FLIES is Out THIS Friday 11/12
But in reality … it’s not a new song … if you’ve been to a live show in the past many years, you may have already heard it.
But NOT like THIS!
When I first started working with producer, Sean Trueblood, we were both drawn to dig this one out of the vault!
Fire Flies was actually the first complete song that I wrote after moving to Nashville, many moons ago. And the writing process behind this tune is actually a little funny…
What Makes You a True Blue Friend?
Well it’s no secret that Life can sometimes be Messy.
And it’s no secret that this past year has brought on a myriad of strange challenges.
But as I look back, one thing that I have always been most grateful for is: friendship!
“Social Distancing” (like did we even know what that meant before 2020?!)
created a new road map in learning how to relate to each other …
Why is the Poppy a Symbol of Memorial Day?
Happy Memorial Day!!
Memorial Day honors those who have given their lives in battle. THANK YOU to all our brave men & women who serve
Taking time to honor anything can bring peace to our day.
Gratitude is a magical practice because it brings in more of the good stuff! And as we walk through our world, it’s easy not to think about certain freedoms because we are lucky to live with them everyday. It's important for me to remember & honor those who have served to make these freedoms a possibility. RIP
The Poppy? how does that fit into all of this?!?
A Happy Place in Your Pocket
My new single, "Zero Gravity" is all about finding your happy place :) For me, this Poem is a little bit of Simple inspiration - which is an awesome way to create a Happy Place for ourselves no matter where we are ….
What Is Zero Gravity?
‘Zero Gravity’ is about finding our happy place.
And Granting ourselves permission to spend some time there so that we can recharge, reconnect, and exist with a little more peace & purpose.
Intuitively I know that life ‘should’ be more systematic and balanced.
However, my creative brain likes to spin.
When I see winds spiraling - they appear powerful, majestic & unstoppable. BUT …
The Power of the “Pause”
Over this past year I have found that ‘quarantine’ can be a powerful teacher. (yeah, I’m crazy like that :)
Why? I’ve discovered that solitary spaces can bring answers
(sometimes to questions that I didn’t even know I needed to reckon with lol)
How to Add a Little Grace to your New Year
I can’t believe that a few weeks ago I wrote how happy I was to be releasing the chaos of 2019 and moving into the New Year with LIGHT. When I mentioned the whole idea of letting go -
Letting Go and Letting in the Light!
This year for me has felt like an ongoing tornado that threw me from one life drama / crisis to the another
Betwixt and Between my old car flooding and getting totaled, Shakti’s disappearance and the recent theft .... there has also been a fair amount of personal stuff - helping family as well as handling my own emotional well being.
But here’s the crux of it - With the multiple storms that hit - It seems that each one also blessed me with a prosaic rainbow ….. a 'new' car, a 'new' computer, and a renewed faith in the power of miracles :)
However, I’m not here to preach about how things happen for a reason.....
Perfection is a myth .....
I like to be an avid reader.
Oftentimes life gets busy and it becomes hard to keep up BUT I find that reading is wonderful way to unwind my brain & destress. Lately, I’ve decided to embrace busyness doing the things that I LOVE!
I especially enjoy fiction - escaping into another world - journeying into a story with twists and turns
and occasionally ? I come across beautiful wisdom
