There's always another answer, a different road we can take.

Life Can Be Good

Life can be good when we remove the should
Life can be free when we stop thinking “me”

Don’t you hate it when you wake up in the middle of the night with a genius idea–only to have it disappear as you reach for something to write it down on?

That has happened to me countless times and it is so frustrating!

Then today, something magical happened…

I was actually in a place to capture the idea (a song) when it hit me.

Score! ?

I hurried to the ? with my recorder at the ready to capture it before it slipped away and then spent the next few hours creating a prettier version to share. ?

Life can be good when we remove the should
Life can be free when we stop thinking “me”
Choose new direction and pave the way
Pave the way through for a brand new day

There’s always another answer…A different road we can take….

From Despair to Dawn

Unexpected loss is a pain like no other isn’t it?

It’s a pain that leaves you breathless.

And when you catch your breath it leaves you questioning everything.

Yet, amidst all of the chaos and questions, the sun rises on another day.

Dawn displaces despair.

Handling loss, One day at a time.

For the first time ever, this song and 10 others are available for download as a part of the album “Custom Collection”. Check it out and get your very own copy here!

What is the most valuable thing you’ve ever learned

August 12, 2016 aprilsingsalot Comments Off

Honestly, my first thought was learning how to tie my shoes.

While that may not seem like a big deal now, it is one of my first memories.

I felt like a champion!

Yet as an adult our perspective shifts and what was once a major accomplishment is now barely a blip on the radar. (Plus, I wear heels now, so it’s not even a skill I use all that often ☺️)

So what is considered a valuable skill as an adult?

I’d like to offer a suggestion in the form of song lyrics:

The greatest thing you’ll ever learn

is just to love and be loved in return.

This final line from the song “Nature Boy” is so hauntingly beautiful. I hope it inspires you to think about life in a new way and to celebrate those little victories (like successfully tie-ing your shoes)!
