IN THE PAST-PART 1

Posted on August 31, 2015 by Judy

At the end of my story, I share some scrawled lyrics in progress. They are brutally honest and very personal. It is because of writing those words that I found the insight I needed for my newest song. Continue reading →

Posted on April 11, 2015 by Judy

At this moment, I can see. And my eye pain is more manageable when I am not depressed. I am trying to let my beautiful music speak to me and make the most of every day – for now. Continue reading →

Posted on July 30, 2013 by Judy

What I am about to write will be brutally honest, almost to a point of being embarrassing for me. Yet if there is anything that I have learned from this blog, opening up has been the purest form of healing for me. I am not afraid. Continue reading →

MUSIC SAVED ME-PART 2

Posted on December 11, 2012 by Judy

The concept of “being saved” did sound a little desperate. It made me think of circumstances such as being saved from drowning or a fire – of saving one’s life. I mulled over some alternate lyric choices for my song, such as: my music freed me or my music changed me. I had to go with my music saving me – especially now. Continue reading →

WHEN I GREW UP

Posted on December 27, 2011 by Judy

My song “Clear” is a far more meaningful conclusion to my first book than “Hang On.” Beyond offering hope for surviving and creating a new life after loss, I am a living and breathing example of someone following a dream. I am a real person and my fairytale story is still unfolding. At this moment, I have no idea where my dream will take me. Regardless, of where it takes me, I have found happiness. I want to inspire people that there is no reason to wait to change your life. Continue reading →

THE GIFT THAT I WAS GIVEN

Posted on December 2, 2011 by Judy

It was when I became a writer, that I achieved clarity in my life. Expressing my feelings has completely changed my thought process. For decades, I faced constant challenges and considered it “weak” to express my feelings; I felt like it was a luxury to do that. I still have challenges, but have chosen to see that sharing my feelings allows me to feel more connected to lifeI am still first and foremost a songwriter. I might be very focused upon my book, but when I give birth to a song – I am stopped in my tracks. The whole process fills me with amazement. I cannot control it. The music that has healed me continues to play in my life. My innermost feelings surfaced again this past week as a new melody began to play and the lyrics unfolded. My new inspirational song expresses how grateful I am that I turned my life around. Continue reading →
