…And the day came when the boy in the over-sized hat grew into his own and was able to open up his gift and share it with the world! The release party has been set to January 31st at The Hudson Terrace, 621 West 46th Street, New York, NY 10036! My first single, “My Sweet Radio,” an acoustic version entitled ”My Radio (The Mississippi Blend),” and one of my feel-so-good tracks, “Don’t Trip, And Fall,” will all be released! It’s been an incredible journey with overwhelming adventures stamped into my memory for the rest of my life. I can only imagine what is to come! If I have learned even just one thing on this path into my own, it is that a second chance is always possible and that with hard work, sweat, and maybe a few buckets of tears, so is happiness! There are so many special people involved in this ever growing project entitled ”From My Integrated Soul” and I hope that they have gained and taken with them even a tinkling of the hope that I have. In essence it seemed so simple. I decided to live, focus, and remedy an itch I wouldn’t have been able to ignore any longer and that’s just making some great ol’ fashion feel good music!!! Thankful to family, friends, and my supporters. Your belief in this project has brought it to life~ Amen

Poet, writer, diarist, author, teacher, theorist of creativity, and in my opinion, I would simply call her an “understander” of “the real things”. Anais Nin is one to inspire young writers searching for something real, gutsy, bold, brilliant, fearless, and maybe a tad of “girl power” :)! I first came across this lambent woman’s work through recording artist Alicia Keys’ record, “Element Of Freedom”. The introduction of the album starts with a spoken word segment stating, “and the day came when the risk it took to remain tightly closed in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to bloom, this is The Element Of Freedom.” I had carried this close to my heart. I thought of this regularly. It truly made a huge impact. I pondered regularly with these words in mind, not yet knowing the original words came from Anais herself. It wasn’t until I shared these words through my Facebook page that a woman brought to my attention that these were the words of Anais Nin, an author of avant-garde French style novels. The original quote being “and the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” This new found information was very exciting for me, mostly because I had walked with these words for so long and now I felt I had been let in her closet full of endless pieces of literature to take in and enjoy! Her words are strong, aged, wise, fearless, soulful, and with a certain push to the lyric that she did with such ease. I say AMEN to Anais. I do believe women are mighty and you were a solider of all sorts, inspiring, fierce to the core, and a true legend.

Enjoy Anais Nin. We are blessed to endure a great mind, heart, and soul as hers~

“If you do not breathe through writing,
if you do not cry out in writing, or sing in writing,
then don’t write, because our culture has no use for it.”
