transitions, weather,kids….

mother’s day dinner at grannies…all the cousins together…grandparents…food.

all good…

something big tomorrow…i can feel it!!

I love my mother.  I love my grandmothers and great grandmothers.I feel like I’ve known all the women in my history.I come from a long line of nurturers…

We love to cook, serve ,talk, comfort,cuddle,hug,support,nurse, calm,reassure,feed,help,save,protect,free,motivate……

Being a mother makes me feel connected to the world and the universe….

I love being a mother…Love to all mothers…..oxoxoxoxoxoxo

Just did my Yoga….feeling very refreshed….

I haven’t been writing a lot …as I’ve said already. The songs aren’t coming….well, just one at a time….and in bits and pieces…it’s ok though,,,

The odd gig here and there….But I know I’m really close…Everything will reveal itself in time and all the answers will come…The flood gates will open

…Beethoven , to come to the rescue….

moonlight sonata does it every time…just play beethoven, just play beethoven….comfort

I”m finding the regular blog thing quite addictive…I”m starting to like talking to no one, or to space,just space…unless someone is reading…or listening…Sometimes, it feels like the ideas go around in circles, the words fly in the air and it all exists really really close but I can’t reach it….The music is there and I play it over and over and it wants to go somewhere but something is in the way…..I have to get myself out of the way…Yoga is helpful for grounding, accepting, connecting,opening, peacefulness,centering, invigorating,shedding…I’m shedding.I’m trying to shed. But all the things I’m trying to shed are the things that creativity comes out of….or maybe not…maybe I’m making more room for a different creative process to take place…yes, I’ll buy that!!!!

See, I already feel better…..thanks to you….the great unknown!

Namaste

I love that word. I have a great song evolving around that. I’ve been wanting to write it for a long time and it’s finally coming out.I’ts such a peaceful and reassuring word.The music around it has to be the same.

I’ve noticed a pattern around my writing lately. It’s taken 25 years to notice a pattern!!!hahahhah.I’m slow!

I like things to evolve. To grow out of a seed and them grand and soft and wrapping up and go back to a little point.They always seem to have some kind of harmonic chromatic passage as well….

I think it’s really quite amazing that we can recognize the work of someone.Really.

Like a painter or a musician or a songwriter etc. It’s the same paints, notes,instruments and yet the breath someone puts into it makes it personal and unique.

Beams of sunlight streaming through the dark clouds iilluminating the springtime tops of the highest trees in the forest….then the etherial sight is gone…..

Kind of like the Northern Lights…we’re allowed glimpses of magnificence, spectacularness,glory,connectednesstotheuniverseness…hahaha, the words keep getting longer.

I am constantly reminded of how  important it is to be present to the moment. To love and give myself to the joy and beauty and exquisitness of every moment, whether it’s with nature or people or music….or cookie dough!!hahahaha

6:30 walk in the fresh spring air….

9:30 hot yoga

1:30 kundalini yoga

songs going around in my head waiting to be set free….

what a fantastic day!!!oxooxoxoxox

So I’m trying to find a way to get some tunes listened to by various performing artists…How….?
How do you get past the garbage can? Do you make fluorescent cds? Do you bother the a and r person until they can’t stand you? I really feel uncomfortable sending out notices for gigs, how can I possibly bombard people with emails asking them to listen to my music?
i think it has a lot to do with connections. Networking, putting it out there to the universe.Talking and sharing and opening up.Yes, opening up to everyone, rather than closing and narrowing and forcing toward a target….
Hahahhaha i could be all wrong!!!! I short circuit when it comes to business..Even the bank for that matter!!!!
Time will tell. I’m open to all suggestions, so feel free to let me know your thoughts….

mon am may 3/2010
So just writing a new song inspired by my drive out to Halifax.
I have such a love for Canada. I love the open spaces and the water and the trees. The calmness that nature instills in the people.The easiness and quiet friendliness all around….ok, sometimes, the food’s not that great!!! But sometimes, it’s so unique and canadacentric that I find it irresistible…maple syrup…..say no more!!!
i find it intoxicating and welcoming. Can’t wait to drive my girl back to Dalhousie in September!!
