It’s hard to believe we are here again at June 21 – summer solstice. This is absolutely one of my favorite times of year. It could be because I am a music teacher and at this point I am usually done will all my duties and off on a 10 week break from teaching. If you are teacher, you know the sweetness of this moment. 😉

It is also a time I have traditionally travelled to my spiritual home Creacon Wellness Retreat. When in Ireland at this time it is light out until 10:30pm and the glory of the gardens are breathtaking. The trip I took there last year was such a gift. As some of you may know I shifted my yearly trip to March in 2023 – and so I get to enjoy this beautiful Solstice time here on Cape Cod. What grace!

I have had many life shifts since February of this year and as I sit here feeling rested and relaxed it’s hard for me to fathom all the decisions I made and changes I co-created over the last few months. Whew! Perhaps you are feeling the same way.

I have relocated to Cape Cod again full time and will be teaching at a new school in the fall called the Inly School located in Scituate. This return to the south shore and teaching at a Montessori school makes my heart sing in all the right ways! I am incredibly grateful for the three years I spent teaching at the Meadowbrook School of Weston and carry the passion of my colleagues and students with me forever.

The biggest shift though, perhaps is that I just had a successful hip replacement surgery. WHAT????It has been quite a journey and experience and I must say – somewhat miraculous. This choice to have surgery and correct arthritis that I had in my hip is leading me to walk forward with strength in love and flexibility. It will allow me to hike and swim and play lots and lots of music shows. I can’t wait to see you out there in the end of 2023 and all of 2024. I am heading into the studio in August with my co-producer Allison Leyton-Brown and we are planning to make some great fun and magic, so stay tuned for new music coming soon.

Until then, I am healing and resting. contemplating and meditating, playing and connecting and enjoying the grace and glory of what it is to be alive right now on this planet.

My first big public event is at Maine Yoga Fest at the end of July – so come check it out – there are many incredible teachers and musicians to help serve you and co-create more ease and joy in your life.

As I have been healing, I was blessed to sign up for Vivienne Gerard’s Online program called Loving Ourselves – it includes Loving Our Mothers and Loving Our Fathers and has been an incredible support and awakening for me. If you find yourself moving through difficult things or yearning for more optimum health in your life, I encourage you to check out her program. I will be on all the classes beginning July 7, so perhaps I will see you there. If you do sign-up mention you heard about it from me.

So much love to all. I hope you are listening to me on Bandcamp, Apple Music, Amazon, Spotify, etc. and maybe even in your car with a good old fashioned CD.

Please reach out if I can be of service in anyway.
