Attack of Shadows. Top Story - June 2023.
I've always had a natural curiosity about paranormal things, but also have been a skeptic when it comes to boogeymen and such. At 3am on March 20th, 2023, that skepticism departed for good. A series of random events in my dog situation stacked the odds in my favor before I found myself in my room, in the middle of the night, wide awake... with a shadow person.

Cosmic Spirograph
I don't know how many people would remember the toy, "Spirograph", but as a kid, it was far and away my favorite thing to play with. I enjoyed the order of bringing lines together in perfect synchronicity to create something completely new, vibrant and beautiful. It amazed me how, no matter how hard I tried to color outside the lines, I just couldn't when using the pieces properly. It was like a ballet dance being carried out inside a gazebo; where there was beauty and rhythm, but also form, balance.

Reflection of a Knife
Having been married for ten years and being a mother of two, you’d think I would have held some sense of accomplishment in myself, but the truth is, I held no sense of self-worth. My ex-husband and I had begun experiencing marital issues. (He wanted to rule, I had issues with that. Go figure.)

Nomadic Child
As the child of a singer/songwriter, music has had a deeply unique and lasting effect on my life in general so it’s no surprise that there’s a soundtrack to my life in the songs that I have composed, performed and recorded myself. Each one is unique to me and this time you spend here is basically a shared introspective into my life, through my music and I hope you enjoy it.

A Legacy of Musical Souls
INTRODUCTION My earliest memory in life is the sound of my mother's voice singing "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean", which you can hear done well by clicking the link below. It doesn't capture that maternal warmth my mother had, but it is a beautiful rendition of the song.

Simple Simon Says
The mirror showed a reflection that wasn't my own. At least, I didn’t think it was at first. As my hand and reflection met, making a ghostly hue around the fingers on the icy glass, I struggled to recall why I was here, cold and alone in this dark compartment.
