Well, what can I say? "hold onto nothing as fast you can . . . still . . . .pretty good year"
Yeah, that's about right. Thought I should re-cap the year a bit early just in case the 21st really is the end of the world . . .
It was an eventful year ~ a big thank you to those who have loved and supported me through it all.
And if it was my last year? Well, it actually was a pretty good year. It is joy to be alive.
Below are the songs that have gotten me through this year, that I have belted out while doing dishes in the kitchen, that I have cried to, laughed with, danced to ~ I found my voice this year, and it is still a little rusty, but it is nice to have it back in my throat where it belongs ~
Just click on the song title, and it will take you to YouTube ~ sorry in advance for the commercial interruptions, the mix CD's will be commercial free ~
Happy holidays and much love to you all. Enjoy the music, mix CD's with original cover art will be making the rounds soon ~ and I am making some Butterfly Medicine Potions to accompany them : )

~ I have spent my life so afraid of the burn, I haven't been able to open my eyes to the truth right in front of my eyes ~ after this year, I have found my courage and am learning how to step into the fire ~ it hurts, but not as much as trying to hide what hurts ~ at least it can burn, and then it is ash, and we all know what arises from the ash ~ mere mere would be proud : )

19. Edge of the Moon - Tori Amos
"Did you teach me to fly past your marmalade sky?"
