Dear beautiful souls,
Can you believe 2015 is almost over? I’ve been reflecting on all of the goodness that’s happened in 2015, creativity being a key word. My dad’s 80th birthday is at the top of the list. Not only because I love and adore him, but I love surprises! For his surprise party, I put together a family photo shoot, pictures for a slide show and all the songs we were going to sing. Everything fed my soul and I was in full creative producer mode.
This was also a big travel year for me. I took a creative big leap in participating in two songwriting workshops. First it was off to Florida to collaborate with Phil Madeira and then to Nashville to write with Mary Gauthier. Later in the year, I returned to Nashville for Americana Fest. It was a way to say I believe in myself and honor my creative gifts and step up my game.
Have you ever done anything that scared you to pieces and at the same time you knew it was what you had to do?
Music has always been my calling and at the same time, as I am called to dream bigger and rise above my fears, there are still times where I feel scared.
Scared. And being asked to trust again.
That’s where you come in.
This fall I’ve poured my heart and soul into working on my video for a Kickstarter campaign that I’ll be launching next year to fund my next album. I’ve learned so much about myself and my purpose in the process. I’ve also learned that it means the world to me to share my music with the world and you. I know that Spirit has my back and love continues to guide me every time I get into “worry” mode.
Stay tuned, as the launch gets closer as I will be asking for your feedback and help.
You mean the world to me. Without you, there would be no one to share my love of music with. So this holiday season, I want to share with you an exclusive, unreleased, just for you song! It’s called “My Heart Believes It’s So” and it’s a reminder to trust and live from your heart, an assurance that divine love and protection surround you.
Wishing you a wonderful holiday filled with all you dream of!
Love the song and the way you sing it. I think you have found your milieu.
I wish you a Merry Christmas and immense success in 2016!
Ever your fan,
Sandra
Dear Sandra,
I’m so happy you love the song; your support means so much to me, without you my music wouldn’t be the same! I like the “immense success” wish, from your lips! Wishing you the same!
Love,
Christine
Christine: This song is so filled with soul and life. From the opening guitar, to your gorgeous voice, to the lyrics, I was struck still……listening to every note, every word, and listening to it felt like being witness to a very very special musical collaboration and creation. It really is wonderful.
I am blessed to have you as a “witness” to my song and my life. Such a beautiful way of putting it! You are why I do what I do! Thank you for being in my life.
