Coming Back Home to Music
Hello Dear Artists:
Lately I've been working on a new screenwriting project. It's my new creative pass time and it's super exhilarating and completely maddening all at the same time.
After a couple of hours of "work" I thought I would take a break and go to the piano for nothing other than to bang on the keys. Almost immediately a haunting song started to float up to the surface and I got intrigued as I flipped the melody around and found left hand chords to compliment right hand notes.
It was so nice to come back home to the feeling of creating music.
Most musicians understand this feeling of coming back home. We might not be able to fully express how important music is to us, but we know that music makes life worth living and is a steady love that keeps giving. It's a two-way street - we love music deeply and music loves us back unconditionally.
Unconditional love feels very much like:
someone who loves you no matter the circumstance
someone who cares so much that they would do anything for you
someone who waits for you
someone who listens to you
someone who embraces you with open arms every time you enter the room
someone who expects nothing from you
someone who loves you for a lifetime
You are so lucky, dear artist, to have music unconditionally love you so much.
Music is asking you kindly to come back home. To immerse yourself in melody and to create again. It's not mad at you, or bothered that you've been away for so long. It is simply waiting for your return.
"Imagine that music is a person
who unconditionally loves you".

e-course: Song Journaling with a Full Heart
I am super happy to announce the the re-launch of my online course called Song Journaling with a Full Heart. This course will support you by bringing you back home to the heart of great songwriting and music making. As a self-study course you can go at your own pace, listen to wonderful song studies and watch video tutorials on how to build a song from the ground up.
Also, if you want to get your feet wet on a smaller course first, I've put together a free mini songwriting course for you to work through too.
Thank you for welcoming me into your inbox and have a wonderful week ahead. Cheers!
