Who am I?
I am still …
* A singer-songwriter and lover of music
* A writer of my first novel, to be completed (God willing) in 2025
* I won a contest a few years back and got a independent book publishing deal. Go to my book page to see the book OR check out the audiobook, OR wherever you listen to audiobooks.
* An emerging screenwriter (nothing sold yet!)
* New 2025 hobby…making chunky blankets. (I’m obsessed!!!)
* A podcaster (OMG…too much fun!)
* A YouTuber with a new channel
* A wife to a wonderful, kind and amazing husband
* An empath and mystic who dreams prophetically
* A curious creative who is fascinated with the afterlife
* A person who believes that kindness and love is a the most important force in the universe
What Shines?
All things beautiful, including babies and flowers and chunky blankets. Spirituality and the Metaphysical. Cinema. God. Art. Teaching & mentoring to others on how to live more vibrantly.
What’s on deck now?
2025 is about redefining a greater sense of purpose for myself as I move into my 60s now.
I am finding it easier to let go of old things and embrace a new paradigm. I’m finally coming to terms with who I am and what I still have to do. Not pushing forward, like I did in my 30’s and 40s but taking a softer approach, and adopting an ease that still challenges me to live vibrantly.
Some ideas on how to “soften”
…no more TV news (Ugh!) and doom scrolling through my phone. Taking more baths, cleaning my house with ease and regularity, striving to bring more awareness into each moment, resting and reading more. Choosing to stop everything and go out for a meal with a cherished friend when I can.
What I value
Love & Peace - across the planet. Please. Human rights for all. Please. More good music and storytelling. Please. More character-driven stories and movies. Please. Writing and creating new stuff. Forever!
What I admire
Artists who strive for excellence in their work and who also live well. Philanthropists. The amazing bravery of racial pioneers.
What’s happening NOW
2025 Quick yearly rundown. I grew up in Altadena, Ca. which, as we all know, burned down in January. I lost my childhood home, my friends lost their homes, I lost my elementary school and middle school. So, terrible and unimaginable. This devastation messed with my head for all of Jan - Feb and I plan a trip there in May for more healing around this deep subject.
Creativity has helped me focus. Each day I think about how I can be a better version of myself - how to let go, have less anxiety and keep striving forward while choosing to love myself more everyday.
Work
We continue to keep writing songs at our company, Love and Laughter Music Group and I keep noodling about new ways to serve singer-songwriters better.
I love my podcast which focuses on the ordinary, everyday amazing songwriter striving to do good work. Otherwise, I’m consumed most days with admin functions.
I’m deep into writing my first novel and have finally understood how to move forward and get it done. It’s been a big challenge for sure; and looking to finish the first draft by 2025. I’d like to go the traditional publishing route this time around. We’ll see how that goods, but I have big dreams about it.
All that being said, I’m probably living my best life right now.
Meanwhile, I’m setting up some soft goals for 2026. Emphasis on the soft.
Wishing you all the best as we scurry into the future. Take care of yourself and I encourage you to pick a positive word or phrase that resonates with you. Keep it by your beside and revisit it often.
We are in the mist of a global shift. The best thing we can do now is to take care of our inner worlds, watch our thoughts and think about what will make us happier. The work you do on the inside, will affect the outside.
And be good to each other.
Meanwhile, I love all of you and, please, keep the good stuff going.
