Happy New Year 2020

19 years ago, I was a new mom living in Madison WI, thousands of miles from my family in South Florida. As can happen in a mother's life, I was overwhelmed and overjoyed at being a mom - both ecstatic and exhausted.  My dear friend, Rachel Bissex, hopped on a plane from Vermont to come and help me with the new baby. On the way there, she swiped the airplane pillow and embroidered “You are loved" on the pillow case and presented it to me and my son.

The pillow has gone by the wayside but I treasure the case. In honor and in memory of Rachel on this, her birthday. I'm releasing my song, Across the Hemisphere  (You are loved) to whoever cares to listen. Rachel's spirit was so generous and filled with light. We are all loved -that is a  sentiment that I would like to send out across the hemisphere as we head into 2020. 

A  gigantic thank you  to Michael Henchman, Kari Newhouse and Carlos Marcelin for lending their prodigious talents to this recording and my amazing husband Kevin Neil for cheering me on and showing me the way  to keep on making music.
