How in the world did I end up here?

In 2020, I was supposed to be kicking up my heels and “living the dream” in Italy!
Did I mention this was March of 2020?
Of course, COVID derailed my plans! My dear friend Denise said, “Hey, while you're waiting to get back to Italy, why don’t we write a book together on the mindfulness of singing?
With a little encouragement and arm twisting from Denise, I was on board. However, I never dreamed that writing the book would actually have a significant impact on my own singing journey.
I wrote a song based on the Singer’s Meditation and Affirmation found in our book. Actually, I wrote it first in Italian and then I created the music, song and video (see below) and then later I translated it into English. I enjoyed writing the song and a new journey unfolded. It thrills me when I do a gig and someone says your songs were my favorite part! We all have a song inside of us and I look forward to sharing more of my own creations.
