I've been on pens and needles since 2017 to release this song! "The Awakening" goes back to my childhood, the years my siblings and I spent watching our mom rehearse the leading role of Daphnie Byfield with a full orchestra in Irving Burgie's original play- Ballad for Bimshire.

The relationship between the piano and me is a story that feels like a coming of age. I smile in amazement when I think back on how it all started. The piano was the first instrument I was introduced to. I remember my siblings and I gathered around the piano one Saturday evening, watching my dad play Chopsticks and another song I can't remember the name of. I was amazed! My dad w

They Made Me Feel

Some songs continue to top my list for bringing up my emotions. I can't explain the reasons why. I can only explain how they make me feel! I genuinely know the connection between the vibrations of music and the vibration of the human body and our soul's energies are one. I sincerely believe it is because music comes from us, and we come from music. I pulled several songs together t

Ah, the feelings of young first love! Having lived for multiple decades, I appreciate my youthful experiences of falling in love. Well, "in like" is more like it at that age. 1974, as I approached my 12th birthday. A new classmate entered Horizon School. Her name was Peri Belleman. I think every hormone in every part of my body came alive! Every move she made, I watched, every wor

Music is healing. It's a powerful healer. It's an essential part of my healing practice. Along with music, there are six essentials that I use every day.

I've lost count of how many times my grandmother told me I have diarrhea of the mouth! She was right. I love to talk! I was so excited to do this episode.

Happy Holidays!

I believe that each year, life should move ahead in love and peace. Our life experience should not be of pain, anger, and enrage. I'm not suggesting we should all be tip-toeing through the tulips all day. But make a weekly conscious choice to find peace and joy. The holidays bring a sense of peace, calm, and joy. Folks are nicer and less stressed. The energy of love throughout the
