Ponderings

So, I love Pilates!  I have been doing Pilates for probably close to five years now.  I feel good about myself, and am proud of how far I have come!  I feel strong, and I feel healthy.  My teachers are very supportive and are constantly telling me how strong I am, and how advanced I […]

Things have been moving along with the Storm Queen Project, and I am delighted!   The biggest news is that I have signed on with a publisher!  He will be trying to get my music placed in TV, movies, and anywhere else that may be a fit.  I was very nervous about relinquishing control of […]

I have an admission to make…  I love busking!  When I was in university I spent a lot of time on stage performing, but also started busking.  I have busked in Ireland, British Columbia, and New Brunswick.  I have busked at farmers’ markets, on city streets, at gas stations…  It actually all started when my […]
