About Me

There's a Takamine guitar and a Clavinova keyboard, just waiting to be used. I let them get a little too dusty in the past busy weeks, and they're definitely calling out to me to be used once again. Writing is happening again, as it always does when change happens. Four of the most life-changing years of my life are now behind me, just waiting to be reflected upon (and written down) and the next most life-changing years (marriage!) are sure to bring much more. Sometimes Matthew or Jeff will chime in on a song, and their sounds will make your eyes smile, at least, they always have that affect on me. Listen for more sounds soon.... In the meantime, keep spreading peace with your love This layout was handmade with love by the folks at My space or yours? Go get one!

to go or to stay... Life is pretty amazing. At work earlier, a gnat (with a silent 'g' sound... or you can pronounce it ga-nat, if you so prefer) was flying around my head and I killed it, smacked it ...
