Hi all!

It has been an incredibly LONG time since I wrote on this site; my apologies. What a busy and challenging year it has been. Thank God things are opening up and the stress levels are being better managed all the way around.

It's been a time of inner work for me; a "get right with God" time that has required withdrawal from a lot of things that have pulled time and talents from my toolbox without sufficient return. Time to reevaluate how I use my energy, focus. Also a time to recover from Heather's brain injury and the caretaking that I took part in since March of 2009. Tremendous gifts and tremendous challenge in any caretaking position; an opportunity to meet your compassion head-on, over and over again. What a ride it has been... we are so grateful that she is healing and writing and singing again. Much healing to come, but all is headed in the right direction.

The inspirational CD project is really starting to fall into place. Viola lines by Cindy Novelo last weekend add so much depth and beauty to the sound! Early March brings the phenomenal Dennis McMurrin into the studio on electric and acoustic guitars... cant wait! Cello on March 21st, then Heather adds her keyboard pads where needed. I am now projecting an early May CD release - stay tuned!

Love from FRIGIDLY COLD Iowa,

Sharon
