CD release celebration Sept 15th!!

Run into the Sun

We made a dance remix to this song! I can't wait for you to hear it! 

Here are the Lyrics:

You're on a boat out at sea

Iʼm on a mountain climbing 

Our paths were once in line, a perfect moment in time 

but time moves on 

keeps moving along 

I blinked my eyes and it was gone 

You've come back looking for me 

Iʼm far from where I use to be 

But weʼll always have that memory of our hearts beating in time 

Mountain laurels are blooming 

Seasons are changing 

Days are getting longer 

Skin is getting tougher 

and everything is getting older older and older 

You can lean on my shoulder, but donʼt you cry

The great unknown is yet to come 

Donʼt you let that be worrisome 

A new day has just begun 

Run into the sun 

Each precious moment we hold 

in our very hands 

We must learn to do what we can 

the best that we can 

cause we canʼt go back in time 

The past has passed us by 

but our spirits and our souls will never die 

Youʼre on a boat out at sea 

Iʼm on a mountain climbing 

clouds pass by so quickly 

itʼs beginning to rain 

as the wind and the waves carry you away 

farther and farther away 

The great unknown is yet to come 

Donʼt you let that be worrisome 

A new day has just begun 

Run into the sun 

New Video!

We have released a new video for Run into the Sun! Check it out!

Tears of Joy

                                                                            

Tears of Joy

In this pile of earth, one grain of sand

not in the desert or under the sea, but in my hand.

This tiny speck of dirt, this dust, is me

unearthed after centuries.

 Exfoliated into light and given life,

given a soul to breathe.

But only for a wink of an eye

a flutter of a hummingbird's wings or a butterfly's

Here I am breathing among paintings and etchings older than time

Remembering the artist's blood in my veins, hands same as mine.

I was a speck of flint on this cliff, then a pebble under this stream.

I remember it all now that I have returned, yet it is all distant memory

As I float gazing at the reflection in the Dordogne 

the bridges make a full circle

and the ripples relax my eyes

Hypnotized I realize this moment will never ever return 

and life is only passing by

I then think of my love, the grain of sand closest to mine, and I cry

tears of joy.

Thankful

Here's a few that come to mind right away.... the Texas summer sun, water, plants, songs, love, my bed, AC, clear fresh springs, singing, mandolins, guitars, drummers, friends, family, animals, mankind, music, music venues, theaters, art, painters, photographers, journalists, babies, the fourth of July, unicycle football, birds, bird feeders, travel, plane tickets, children, wolves, howls, organic food, cute drummers named Jonny, green smoothies, hot water, horn players,  creativity, recordings, the radio, musicians, bikes, helmets, cameras, videos, comedy, agreements, laughs, smiles, joy, rain, gardens, canoes, festivals, fireworks, automobiles, rivers, lakes, trees, fingers and toes, existing, living in Austin Texas. Also, you, thank you too. What are you thankful for today?

Dream!

Finding light.


Dreaming is the act of consciously writing your own future. While following your dreams is more rewarding in the end, it often is the rockier road to take. It is easier to go along avoiding your dreams by convincing yourself you are trapped or unable, but you are not. You are alive and everything you could ever want is at your fingertips, if only you would focus and decide in your mind you will.

Joshua Tree, CA

It's worth it, I keep telling myself. 

The road may be rockier but the views are breathtaking and the journey is absolutely priceless! 

However, we must be equipped and most importantly be wearing the right footwear while we tread. Listen to your intuition on this for we are all on our own paths, all with different terrains.  

Mine says,     "No heels; you won't need vanity.

                     Sturdy; you will need the support. 

                     Not to heavy; to weigh you down.

                     Not to dainty; with no protection. 

                     Cruelty free materials; for good karma.  

                     and ones which will weather the weather for this will                        be a long haul." 

When you do find the right fit for the path you are on, your walk will surely be full of delight!

You may even be barefoot walking on the soft spring grass by then, but first you have to get there.

I will continue to adjust by trying different shoes and paths until one is the perfect match. I refuse to get stuck with uncomfortable shoes on a walk in the wrong direction.

I hope you will too. It makes for a more peaceful world when the people living in it are fulfilled. While we may be uncomfortable for a little while through our trial and error, it is all a learning process towards enlightenment. Also keep in mind that the journey never ends. There is always something else over the next horizon and always room to grow.

Following my dream sent me out California way. Lucky for me I had a few very special people join me along my journey!

Mama on the mountain!
