About this project
In May, 2009, I was blessed to release my first full-length CD, "Roses." Since then, I have heard many stories that affirm that my prayers for this recording are being answered. I asked to be able to share music that would touch and soothe people however they needed it the most, to help carry us through hard times, to affirm strength & beauty in our lives.
And now...
I would like to start a new, collaborative recording project, "Music for the Heart of a Child." I want to offer children a CD of music that reflects the deep peace and beauty that lives at the center of all things, in their own centers. Our children innately know/sense this beauty-center in themselves and, if affirmed & supported in their knowing, will cultivate a more peace & beauty-filled life for themselves and this world!
This CD will incorporate original songs by myself and others, songs from nature (whales, wind, birds, water), as well as newly upgraded versions of collectively-held, traditional kids' songs like "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star."
I have spoken with some amazing musician friends of mine who have said they would like to collaborate with me on this project, including Freedom, Human, Diane Patterson, possibly Shimshai and many other dear friends & magic-music-makers!!!
To make this possible:
I am requesting financial support for this project! If you have any abundance that you feel you can put towards healing music, please consider supporting the production/printing of this CD! I am honored to be the mother of two children and am working to help support our family, but have not yet been able to save enough on my own to start this project.
"Roses" was fueled by a $4000 grant, which we eventually matched to complete & release the project, totaling about $8000. I think this project will cost about the same~ totaling somewhere between $7000 and $9000. We need your support to make this happen.
In this time of many changes, I am grateful for the children, our guiding stars. It is of crucial importance that we offer them as much beauty as we are able, right now!
Thank you...
And so many blessings of the sun, moon and stars, the wind, the earth, the sea!
~Roses~
