I have been doing a lot of thinking lately and working to get happier and healthier. My last record was a tribute to my parents and the love that they raised me with. The overwhelming sense of loss that I felt for most of my life without them inspired many of the songs and it has been a long journey from there to here.<\/p>\n
I am happy that I wrote those songs and still enjoy singing most of them but the time has come to move on.<\/p>\n
I’ve been writing newer songs that celebrate enjoying the moment. Being grateful for what I have and having fun. It’s hokey as can be but I want to celebrate happiness.<\/p>\n
Depression and anxiety have been a real struggle and I couldn’t ignore the fact that it was taking a toll on my health and taking me away from my family and everyday abilities. I have been seeking help and doing better and would be happy to answer any questions if you want to ask them privately.<\/p>\n
Thank you for the support that you have all shown me as I bare my soul and connect with you all. I’m really excited about the new songs and hope to start recording this summer.<\/p>\n
For now here’s a little Mother’s Day ditty that I wrote for my kids.<\/p>\n
