Spread your branches far and wide.
Watch me, my child — I’ll show you how.
See that sun… it sparkles for you.
Breathe it in and then let it out again.
Feel your roots reach to Mother Earth,
her endless nurture calls you home.
- in honour of my mom Helen Danylchuk

Well, I knew it would happen at some point in time before this concert. Last night and this morning, I unraveled… fell to pieces… wondered what the *$(# I was doing thinking I could put this concert on. It was a dark night of the soul for me. Funny that yesterday’s post […]

Today’s enlightening comes in the form of a quote that found its way to my inbox this a.m.
Even if our efforts of attention seem for years to be producing no result, one day a light that is in exact proportion to them will flood the soul. — Simone Weil

I feel the need to begin slowing down the ‘arranging’ part of my concert and begin sinking deeper into my heart in these last few days. It’s so easy to stay at the head level of task and planning. But that’s not what this concert is about. It’s about awakening the heart and sharing from […]
Today’s noticing is not so much about anything en-lightening but rather of deep heartfelt gratitude. My husband Brad has been so excellent in caring for Hanna while I’ve been busy preparing for my concert. Honestly, I couldn’t have done this without him. Well, maybe I could have… but not with the ease I’ve mainly experienced. […]
Today’s en-lightening was about spending light-hearted time with Hanna. Gosh she makes she laugh. She keeps making funny faces lifting her eyebrows up and down. She’s quite the character. I bought her a dress yesterday and she looks so adorable in it. I just had to share. I also bought her a smaller pair of […]

This time next week I’ll be getting ready to take the stage at my show. Unbelievable how quickly it’s coming! I feel ready. Sure, there’s lots of last minute details left to attend to. But I FEEL ready! And that is exciting.
By the way, this morning was the first morning I […]
I’m seldom at a loss for words, but today, I feel like staying in the quiet. I’ve been singing every chance I get, so I’m balancing that with plenty of quiet time. As a singer I never realized that the quiet between breaths was just as important as the singing.
Now I know.
I had no idea when I said that April would be about lightening the load that I’d be clearing the decks on a daily basis. Today I cleared my whole schedule clean so I could again nurture my body.
Brad took me for bloodwork today. We seldom sit anywhere together in the middle of the day. […]

Today was a highly emotional and beautiful day. Not in what I did… cuz I really couldn’t do much. I attempted to do a fitness class this am only to stop after about 15 minutes. I just had no strength. A doctor’s visit and an afternoon nap was the extent of it. […]
