Join me on my epic journey to embrace all that life has to offer! We get to design our lives. We create our world. My world is filled with love, light, laughter and beauty. I designed it that way.

This is positive life affirming music! Send your “intellect packing”! Dare to admit you “bake to lick the batter”. Allow yourself to “Shnug” people. Get Groovy;-) Proclaim that you and all people are “The Light of the World!”. Help me manifest a huge party at the Rose Bowl with me singing on the Jumbotron! Go Green. Experience and pass on “Unexpected Kindness”. Bask in your “Kitschy-ness”. Never settle. Take the Cash AND the Prize! “Find the light, See the Light, Free the Light, BE the Light” And don’t forget to “Just Breathe”.

LIFE is the Party. That party doesn’t start later, or happen after death. (Although there is much partying on the spirit side of life;-) The Party is happening NOW. The Party IS LIFE! I hope you will let me inspire you with my gifts to BE who you want to be in this world!

My latest music project “Life is the Party” is now out on CDbaby and itunes! The music production is “off the charts” amazing and I’ve never been happier with how CC Thomas Jr. captured my voice. Still, I keep getting requests for just me and the piano. That is where my songs start, at least most of them. And the proof of a good song is in its “NAKED” form. So here it is. No studio sound. No cool production. No killer background vocals(my favorite thing to create), no wall of sound. Just me, my muse (Yamaha C7 Grand) and my soul mate daughter.

This song (track 4) was the first song I wrote on this project. It is my core message to the world and my healing song for myself. I am the child on the hill who was hiding her light. I joke that I have been under a rock for 20 years. This was the beginning of my emerging from that place.

My daughter, Elizabeth, is a huge part of my healing process. In my quest to assure that she will never find herself under that rock, I made a decision to show her what it looks like to shine in the full glory of my brilliance. Somewhere along the way, I stopped doing it for her and allowed myself to BE who I really am.

I am not there yet. But I am right where I need to be. I am a work in progress and loving the journey now more than ever. We get to design our lives. We create our world. My world is filled with love, light, laughter and beauty. I designed it that way.

LIFE is the Party. That party doesn’t start later, or happen after death. (Although there is much partying on the spirit side of life;-) The Party IS LIFE! I hope you will let me inspire you with my gifts to BE who you want to be in this world!

“You Know My Heart” is a song I wrote about my husband AND about God. It is from my Album “Speak the Word”. This music video was directed, shot and produced in 2003 by Kimberley Clayton Blaine. I didn’t know it at the time, but she showed me a whole new passion for creativity with a video camera. As I begin to create and produce music videos for my new music project, “Life is the Party”, I thought it would be appropriate to honor my first music video which was a GIFT from an amazing woman I am blessed to call my friend.

In the studio with Michael & CC getting the form down for the last song “My Kitschy Kitschy Girl” on my “Life is the Party” project. Elizabeth was home from school with a bad cough. Notice the rag around her neck keeping it warm with VICKS! Can you guess who I wrote that song about?

I decided that my VLOG is missing me doing my music which is weird since I am a singer/songwriter who lives to empower and inspire people with my music. So I got Elizabeth to man the camera. We talked about what kind of shots we wanted to get and then did our first TEST SHOOT so we could “evaluate” the lighting, shots etc. Mommy botched the chords on the bridge of the song and then hit some heinus note that should have ended the whole thing. But us “show biz troopers” forged on! I was going to review it and then shoot the real one, but Elizabeth was laughing so hard AND was about to quit work to swing on the swings. So I decided it was as good as it gets. Plus the perfectionist in me got to enjoy the messy gooey horrifyingly sinfully delectible yucky-ness of my own humanity. Wooo Hooooo!

SCROLL DOWN THIS MUSIC PAGE TO SEE ALL 4 of MY MUSIC PROJECTS! Here I am in the studio with CC Thomas and Michael Sechrest working on my latest POP music project. I have seven songs completed and three to go!  Cool uptempo songs that range from inspiring to Wicky-Wacky reside along side deeply moving and empowering ballads. The project has been named LIFE IS THE PARTY! Elizabeth even co-wrote one song.  Actually, she started a song and LET me co-write it with her.  If you are wondering whether a person should work in “the biz” with children or animals… I strongly advise against it.  Although I seem to keep doing it over and over again.  Not with animals of course.  Hmmmm I haven’t tried our cat Tasha on background vocals yet.  Nahhh… I don’t think she will go for it.  FOCUS!  Stay focused… Ohmmmmmm  Stay tuned!

Ready for “Prime Time” SUMMER 2011!

This music may be just the thing for you if you are in the process of going within to connect with your soul’s purpose.  I recorded this (my first) project 2000-2001 when when I was pregnant with Elizabeth.  We call it her “Womb Music”.  I wrote these songs during a pivotal time in my own journey when I finally gave myself permission to BE the artist that I was born to be in spite of all of the fear based messages I was encountering in the outside world.  This was the beginning of the search to find my true voice and is a touchstone for many people who are embarking on their own quest to realize their full potential.  TO LISTEN and/or PURCHASE CLICK on CD ICON!
