Do What You Want

This song was a fun one to write and liberating, as well!   I have had to personally revisit it every now and then when I find myself forgetting the lesson learned and told…………  I tell my daughters that if being around someone doesn’t encourage them to be the best person they can be……..they need […]

I Have No Picture of You

This is another of my ramblings about my songs from the title CD, Sometime’s It’s a Matter of Time………. You know that sometimes it’s better if the picture that you hold for a touching memory is the picture inside your head or your heart.  I think for everyone, there are those who have come and […]

Antiguan Waves

On the shore line of Antigua, I sat, listening to the waves…….ebbing and flowing……..pounding and then sitting back……….Antigua was one of the first flirtations that I had with my love for the water.  Growing up in Kansas, I fell in love with the sounds from the grasses, as heard from the top of the hill.  […]

Full moon music

As the water danced in the diamonds that were cast off by the full moon, I sang my songs and played my classical guitar.  It was a concert played especially for God and the Sea of Cortez.  (My most important audience!)  As my family slept, I filled my soul with the wonderous magic of nature […]

Sunday morning music in Los Barriles

Hi, whoever you are.  I hope that you were there, this morning, while I was singing at the Road Runner.  It was such a good time.  I felt like I was singing just for you.   Singing for small audiences gives you such a unique and intimate opportunity.  It’s like having a close conversation and just […]

settling into Baja life

It’s always curious to me how it’s necessary to kind of shift gears once you get hereto slide into a different pace of life.   I’m so used to heavily scheduled days and no time to just ………BE……….that when I first get here, to our little paradise escape in Los Barriles…………(that’s in Southern Baja)……..there’s this […]

Friends over for dinner

Ben and Harriet were over for dinner tonight and it was lovely.  The moon was dancing across the water and the breeze was just the right cool.  I slow cooked a roast and we enjoyed margaritas and munchies on the terrace, listening to the waves and exchanging stories and laughter.  I picked a little classical […]

Road Runner mornings

Sunday morning I played at the Road Runner in Los Barriles.  It was a great time, with good food and so many good friends for me to sing to.  If you happened to be there, thanks for being so attentive and cheering me on.  I absolutely love playing for such intimate settings.  It’s like playing […]

Diane’s picure and thoughts from Donna on 12-26-2008

This is the message that I woke up to the day after Christmas.  It was sent by my cousin Donna and was so unexpected.  Notice the sparkle and life in Diane’s picture.  The world will miss her, for sure. Dear Family & Friends, It is with great sorrow and sadness I let you know we […]

Why I haven’t written……..Diane

It’s been over a week since I wrote to you.  I’m sorry, but I couldn’t find the words.  Shortly after my last post, I received word that a cousin of mine had died on Christmas Day.  I didn’t know her well.  But, I know that she was loving and loved and too young.  I couldn’t […]
