My intention of starting this blog was to create a doorway to reveal those hidden subjective truths that lie buried deep within and to begin to open up to the world and possibly connect more with those who may also feel and resonate with these experiences. I've always been quite a private person and years ago would never have dreamed of putting my most private musings out there.
After recently coming out of a long creative block, receiving the inspiration for "Motherland" all seemed somewhat surreal and yet extremely rejuvenating. Sometimes when we are at a low point in our life, we never think we will rise again, but then something magical happens, some may call it a miracle, some call it grace, some call it luck, a shift of karma, etc. Nevertheless, change is always inevitable and both the low points as well as the high points in our lives should be honored and shared for ultimately we are all in this together. Although each of our journeys manifest differently through our own passions, relationships, and choices,,,,underneath we are all feeling and wanting the same things and hopefully we can all learn from each other.
So anyhow, I thought this would be a good place to start and share my journey through the entire process of writing and creating the album "Motherland". Everything from those dark moments that are experienced by an artist in a creative block, to changing my name, to the inspiration for each of the songs on the CD as well as the spiritual journey that accompanied each one.
Additionally, I will be posting questions and food for thought that were often the seeds that prompted the inspiration for each of the tracks on the album. In sharing some of my personal spiritual work, if you feel inspired to share your own personal views and/or experiences or provide a comment, the interaction would be most welcomed!
