Ironically, I was just thinking of you and how much I miss your posts! Good to know that you’re still planting seeds and setting small, but meaningful goals for yourself in the New Year. We’re all doing the best we can while riding this roller coaster of hope and disappointment. Sending healing thoughts to all who need them. Looking forward to hearing more from you in 2022.
I was speaking to someone just the other day about you, and the songwriter's workshop you helped lead and instruct. And really, what you are saying here is consistent with what you were helping me/us learn in our songwriting. Look for depth, and work until you find it. It was a terrific experience, and I thank you again. Wishing for a wonderful year for you and your family....and for us all. We all "could use a little mercy now."
I’m reading your second book. It’s so moving and difficult. I don’t know how you do it, but at the same time imagine I would do exactly the same if I had to. Wishing you a new year full of at least a tiny fraction of the things you hope for and deserve and once thought were going to be yours by right, as all parents do. Your words make my heart full xxx
Sunday morning… and I was thinking of you! Of how much those Soul Soothing Sundays meant & how grateful I am for this bright, clear, chilly new day. Happy New Year to you & your loved ones. And best wishes to all this 2022. 💕
So good to hear from you, AM. Always an inspiration and today is no exception. I, too, can’t help but miss you, especially on Sunday Mornings. How I long for a pop up. I made the same vow, to take a walk a day with our remaining senior rescue Lab from Alabama. Wishing you peace today and throughout the year. JB
Happy New Year. I've just finished reading your book about your amazing love for your son John Henry and the challenges you faced. It is beautifully written and so full of patience understanding and most of all love
Very much seeking time to rest over this weekend and take advantage of the quiet to reflect as the new year begins. As I was lying in bed this morning reviewing the last 1 to 2 years, it was prominent in my mind how music has played a central role in my life and in particular getting through this recent time. I have not clung to music with this much intensity since the "crisis" sometimes referred to as adolescence. Not to diminish either adolescence or the pandemic, but maybe some of you get what I mean there. A shared musical experience has given rise to introspection, hope, solemnity, solidarity, a sense of community and occasional playfulness during a time when all those things, and more, have been in such short supply. The Soulful Sunday mornings, the concerts, the blooper moments with the dogs - all of it so heartfelt and real. And, I am truly very grateful to Allison and her sister, Shelby, for their generosity with their song, their spirit, their conviction and action.
Great choice of music happy new year!

Yes. To all of it. Wishing you peace as you sink into the day.
“Do less, do it better, do it with more intention, savor the action and then the result.” I’ll try that.

DEPTH!
Yes.
Enjoy those walks! They can be so incredibly restorative. Best wishes for a happy and healthy New Year!
You’ve captured this morning so beautifully. May 2022 be filled with love, joy, respect and cooperation. May the challenges of 2021 be resolved.
