“When you listen, you learn. Remember that. In music and in life” - Mitch Albom, The Magic Strings of Frankie Presto
Peaceful greetings and thanks for checking in.
Seasons changing. The message remains the same. Transition, we meet again. I've been in the classroom, fully certified to teach K-12. I am so pleased with this new chapter - learning through teaching. This has been a goal since November 2023, and by January 2026 it came true with intention and dication, focus, good work ethic, and gratitude for being able to choode my life path: “we can live many lives in this one life." Be, Do all that you want to.
I sit and write from my bedroom desk, updating my profiles becuase we've got to be professional, in addition to looking professional. I am also in the midst of editing my debut album. Wow, you can really measure growth when you're finally able to listen to hours of your voice singing back to you, sometimes spot on and sometimes not, and somehow be able to hear it in the bigger pcture of the sound. I am SO excited for you all to hear the album. It's really beautiful.
For now, thank you for your continued support of my 2025 MusicNL awarded EP, A way home . I am also CrowdFunding for the completion of this upcoming debut album, should you feel called to support this endeavour and become a patron of my art!

Catch me at one of these performances (and/or help me get few more lined up!)
Gratitude for the gifts in everyone and everything.
Peace, wherever and however you may be.
