Release Day!

Release Day!

It’s a double release day! Let the Light Out is a two-song release because it just wanted to come out…like NOW! Realms is a full album. Obviously, there’s a theme here with the light beam. It feels like the right time to launch more light into the world. To stay focused on what we WANT to create, rather than the long list of what’s wrong with the world.

Bruce Lee said this: “You don’t find peace. You choose it by choosing what you ignore, by what you release, by what you stop giving energy to.”

A special thank you to all of you listening to my music on iTunes, Spotify, YouTube, and other streaming platforms. It doesn’t cost you, but it gives me a bit of income from every song listened to. So thank you! I hope the music adds to your peace and joy.

Let the Light Out

Let the Light Out

In these times of trouble and chaos, I find music is something that helps me calm and nurture myself. I generally create songs and store them in a folder until the album feels complete. I did that with the Realms album, which is being released July 22nd. But this morning…something different happened.

I was doing my yoga practice with Ernest and remembered what I heard during my meditation this morning: Let the light out! It’s so easy to get buried in the troubles of our times, to collapse into fear. When I asked, how do I make it through this time of darkness? The answer was like a bell ringing with clarity: Let the light out! During every stretch, I imagined light streaming out of my body, clearing away darkness and stuck places.

Then, I sat down with my harmonium, flute, and voice and two songs came forth. So a mini-album is also being released July 22nd.

Thank you to everyone streaming my music! I’m actually making a little money from this creative effort! Every time you stream my music, I get a little bit of money from the streaming platform. So thank you so much! Someone is listening!! YIPPEE!!

Humpback Whale Meditation

Humpback Whale Meditation

I was trying to find an old license from decades ago that I might need for a job application. I looked all through my files and then had to look through storage containers. In doing so, I found a journal from my time photographing and swimming with spotted dolphins and humpback whales. I started reading and found a meditation written from my experience with whales.

The license wasn’t what I needed to find. It was the journal. Isn’t it wonderful how life works!?! The same messages I was receiving and recording 11 years ago, are coming strong now. Not only was it a validation for me, but a wonderful remembering of feeling dolphins push against my body as we swam in perfect harmony. And of humpback whales connecting with their calves. I still get goosebumps!

I hope you enjoy this meditation gifted from the whales to me…and now to you.

Opening the Heart

Opening the Heart

I sat down at my keyboard and thought about opening to my true self, embracing all of who I am, and this music poured out. I paired it with images and videos I’ve taken. The final image of the dolphin and me was taken by Rodney Bursiel.
