Hey Everybody!
Well, we have made it six months into 2020 and I don't know about you but I feel like I am starting to have some 20/20 vision on what is really important in life. The state of the world has brought out a lot of the beauty and a lot of the ugly and both bring up inspiration for the creatives out there. I wonder when this will end but am desperately trying to make the most of the situation we are in.
Music Happenings
I'M ABOUT TO RELEASE MY FIRST ORIGINAL CONTENT SINCE METAMORPHOSIS!! In one month, on August 21st, "Shakin' Down" will be out for your streaming, downloading and listening pleasure. This is cowrite with songwriter and producer, Tom Whall, and it couldn't come at a more important time. If you aren't content with the way of the world right now then this song is for you. I think so many of us are in the same boat and aren't exactly sure what to do during the middle of a pandemic. There is one thing you do have, and that is a voice. This is how I am using mine. Proceeds from the streaming of this song will go toward several voter support groups that aid and promote people to vote in the election. This is an important time to use your voice and your right to vote to stand up for what you want in your country. You can PRE-SAVE "SHAKIN' DOWN" now and be the first to hear it when it enters the world.
No Sass Creations: Bolos and More
Everyone needs a little spicing up in the neckwear department with all of the video chatting and people only seeing from the waist up. With all of the unnatural things going on right now, like connecting with my friends and family exclusively through Zoom calls and Facetime, my creativity on the bolo front has sent me straight back to nature....naturally. .
Random Stories, Thoughts, Ideas
I keep reminding myself over and over again that one day "these days" will be "those days." I am so hopeful that, while I am sure we will all have some leftover PTSD and difficulty giving hugs like we used to, I will be able to reflect on some of the beautiful and quiet times Eliza, Dave and I have shared as a family. Whether it is flying a kite, riding a carousel with our masks on, enjoying a newly hung birthday swing, or trying to rationalize with the wind, there is beauty hidden here and there when I choose to look for it.
I hope you all are experiencing some of your own moments of beauty, peace, reflection and clarity during these trying times. I would love to see pictures if you ever want to share!
Wrap It Up, Mary
