Dear Friends,
Watching Ben and Lily grow is a constant reminder of how very precious life is - from the smallest step to the grandest achievement - how blessed we are to partake of this mysterious and marvelous experience. Often it is a challenge to breathe in life's beauty while balancing all the daily details. Sometimes I don't stop to take a breath until I'm knee-deep in laundry, toys and endless piles of paper. I suppose we all have a "wake-up" call - that voice that suddenly shouts "STOP!" For me that call is music: Chopin lovingly dancing beneath my husband's fingers at the piano, Lily sweetly singing a tune half-memorized half-improvised, Ben interrupting her to demonstrate how it "really" goes, and the music within me ringing through memories, desires, and dreams.
I sense a fresh beginning making its way to my door: songs begging to be written and recorded, feelings bubbling-up to be expressed, and you, my dear friends, providing the reason to open up the door and let them in.
Our new recording studio is almost finished, Ben and Lily begin preschool, pencils are sharpened, paper is ready - laundry will wait.
I'm grateful for the moments spent expressing myself through music and so honored when it finds its way to that timeless place in your heart.
May God bless your every moment with beauty, peace, and contentment.
Sincerely,
Désirée |
