I have always loved to sing.  Pretty much anytime I was walking alone in nature, I was singing.  I was in school choirs, church choirs, madrigal groups, quartets, duets and for this album I've gone solo.
I dabbled in song-writing early on but began writing lyrics and music in earnest after some particularly difficult life challenges. It was a silver lining to some very rough weather.

After many attempts to record my songs, I nearly gave up.  Actually, I surrendered. 
I let life take over.  I thought, ok, maybe these songs are just for me... but always had a feeling they were to be shared. But I think we were just waiting for circumstances to be aligned perfectly. Because recording 'The Rapture' was magical in many ways... sort of had a life of its own and a momentum that carried me along.   I couldn't have imagined a better environment to record than 'The Lab' in Costa Rica!  And meeting Robert Plant there and having him add his amazing voice to one of my songs was like a dream! 
​
My songs are my story, my healing, my gift to myself and hopefully to others. I wrote them for my sorrows and my joys and my learnings.  I'm grateful for them all.
But especially the difficulties, for although they hurt and they burn... we're meant to rise from the ashes, a humbler, deeper, and finer person.
