After a fifteen-week stint in the ICU, longer in rehab, losing so much weight I was crawling around at 87 pounds, and the doctors saying there was not one more thing they could do; I journeyed to a place between here and there. More of this for another time but suffice to say, I made a deal with the God of Fire that I would speak my truth for the first time probably ever. I mean like my full truth, and that I would say whatever moved through me to say. So here we are today.
Taking back time robbed, writing, creating, producing, channeling, making the arts, learning, expressing, loving this second chance at life, and no longer apologizing for being me. Oh, and suddenly being able to communicate with animals.
Reflections came after Tinsel and Holly. The first Christmas album for Annagail. A dream come true. I spent a lot of time reflecting. Thinking about my life, the things I should have said but swallowed whole for fear of what anyone would say or think. Something magical happens when you give that up and just start exploring who you might be if you didn’t give a royal fuck!
I had a riot finding so many new voices inside of my soul and sounds that swirl in my heart 24/7. Letting these out has been a healing balm I never knew existed. I channel and connect to deeper places of myself and out comes sunshine and rain. I’ve even stomped my feet a few times and balled my hands into fists. All of it so necessary and so healing.
This album was the start of a musical we are writing, and I cannot wait to see this musical come to full life.
I hope you stick around and journey with us through all these art offerings. We are creation and the art we make is a reflection showing us more about ourselves.
