Posted on May 26, 2014 by Judy

I’m far too emotional and vulnerable at this time in my life to do any live performing. I’ve chosen to use my emotion as a beautiful addition to my recordings instead. Continue reading →

MY WORLD WAS FILLED WITH SONG

Posted on June 26, 2013 by Judy

I find it astonishing how singing has become a perfect metaphor for my “new life.” I plan to continue singing my heart out and learning how to use my complete voice. And at the same time, I plan to navigate my new life with the expression of my true feelings. Continue reading →

So in order to be more consistent, from now on I am going to say that, “I’m still healing,” instead of saying, “I have healed.” Grief is a process. It will follow me for the rest of my life.
