a strong cuppa coffee, road trips(short and long), the smell of a hard rain to come, poetry(e.e.cummings especially), star gazing, hiking with my baby in the backpack, squishy mud toes, baths, my sons' smile, my baby girls' dancing, learning..anything, knitting, painting, twirling, playing make-believe, watching my 8 year old find herself, foot tickles, the scent of homemade bread baking, candle light, sunflowers, naps with my cats, hugs with love, jammies, enjoying a good beer with a better friend, laughing until it hurts, the crackle of a campfire, the calm which comes after a good cry, being the only one awake to catch the sunrise, the first snow, birks, tree climbing, bike riding, hammock lounging, christmas mornings, the stormy blue of my childrens eyes, the sound of a lone guitar, my husbands sense of humor, putting on clothes still warm from the dryer, piggyback rides, watching the ones i love sleep...there is never a time i am reminded to give thanks for my family more, than when they are in the depths of a peaceful slumber

"I don't know why, it's the same reason why you like some music and you don't like others. There's something about it that you like. Ultimately I don't find it's in my best interests to try and analyze it, since it's fundamentally emotional."

“Music can save people, but it can't in the commercial way it's being used. It's just too much. It's pollution.â€

"I don't think songs are magic. I don't think you could write the perfect song and change the world. But everything contributes. We all have opportunities to change peoples minds, and I think a lot of that is cumulative. You have to hear alternative voices a lot sometimes for something to sink in, for there to be a shift. As songwriters we should be speaking up. But everybody, in whatever their work, has an opportunity to speak up. I think it's that cumulative effect that will put all of us together to make that change"
