Dedication

Music plays a large role in my life...it always has and always will.  Every song has a meaning.  Every rhythm speaks to your psyche.  I love to share my passion for music with others.  I love for them to hear what I'm hearing...to feel what I'm feeling...to experience something together.  Joy, laughter, hurt, sorrow, anger, love.....it's part of what sets us apart from the rest of the animal kingdom.  Feelings and sharing.....a combination that makes our world seem a little closer.

As you may have surmised, dear reader, the last few months I've had some bumps and bruises....and just about the time that I finally started putting a stop to the madness...my boys got me the latest Adele CD for Mother's Day.  It's become an anthem of sorts for me....there so much feeling.  Her voices is so soulful and brings me to a place where I can just think, process, and deal.  If I could dedicate one album to you (and there are definitely some songs meant for particular people who may or may not be reading my blog) I would dedicate this album.  Even if you don't like soulful, thought provoking music...just listen.  Take a moment, sit back...close your eyes and listen.

I hope you can hear what I hear.  I hope those of you that know me more intimately can really hear my message.   I hope you see that this is a healing album for me.  I've let go of a lot of stuff over the last few weeks...I took a step back from a few things...and have had time to reflect.  That reflection has brought calmness and clarity to my life.  I see some things so much more clearly.  I see where I've hurt myself....and where I've allowed others to hurt me.  I hope those that know me on a personal level have seen this change.

Dear Reader, if you do anything for me this year....listen to this album. As always, thank you for reading.
