Doesn’t it feel like we just went through a fast forward? Next thing we know, we’ll all be singing Auld Lang Syne again! Speaking of which, I hope your holidays were as festive as mine, but now what? For me, it’s time to get my students ready for the Winter Share The Music Day where the kids will play songs from their lesson books for each other and their proud parents.

In my spare time (haha), I’m getting some performance videos ready to go up on my website, and also looking forward to singing a couple of my inspirational originals at a benefit on Sat.

My life is beautifully abundant, and yet somehow amongst earning a living, running errands, paying bills, maintaining a home, self care and spiritual practice, I must find time to write songs…
Stepping Up
ByCynthiaAll the kids are back in school, and navigating the challenges of a new grade. Scary? Exciting? Maybe kind of Fun? Meanwhile: The last song (#14) for my album is written, and suddenly I’m thrown into the pre-production phase. First it’s a big “Whoopee-e-e-e!” Then reality strikes.
