GRIEF 101 – PART 2

Posted on September 21, 2010 by Judy

Just as people are all unique, so is grief. No person experiences grief the same way. Therefore, although I have experienced my own grief and shared in other people’s grief – I do not assume that I have the answers for you. However, I would like to write about some of what I learned, in the hopes that any part of my words might offer comfort.

I CAN’T EXPRESS WHAT IS NOT REAL

Posted on September 18, 2010 by Judy

I am still on my journey. Perhaps I will continue to write for the rest of my life. But “my journey’s insight” seems is definitely something finite and very special time for me. Lately, I have been living my life quite intensely; there’s been no doubt about that. That is probably because I have felt there is a deadline for me; I’ve had a premonition that something will derail me from finishing my mission, which is to record all my songs.

JUST A TUNE TO TELL YOU – PART 1

Posted on September 15, 2010 by Judy

I have written a lot about my close friendship with Cheryl. Cheryl was very close with me during the time that I was intensely writing many of my songs. She inspired me on at five songs. This song would be the song that was clearly the one I most considered a special gift to her. Although she is gone, she lives on in my song. When I sing this song, I am not thinking of her – I am actually thinking of how my life has changed and how I feel love again. A lot of that credit goes to someone named Connie.
