My healing journey led me to write the songs on this CD. I kept a digital mini recorder with me to catch my melodies and lyrics as they came to me during this very creative yet challenging time. The inspiration came from many places: as I took walks that connected me to nature, after a meditation deepening my connection to G-d, after learning and then practicing what I took home from teachers, workshops, books, and CDs, deepening my awareness of living mindfully. My inspiration came from a place of truth, from the heart and beyond, and from a place of quiet, inner peace, gratitude, and joy.

​

The present moment is where I find inner peace, and I am always in the present moment when I sing, connecting to the breath, breathing in and breathing out. Singing puts me in a place of deep love and gratitude.

​

I am so happy to share this CD with you.

Listen to a track from Artist of the Heart.
