This month was Woman’s History Month and I took part in two events related to it. A few years back I found myself exhausted because there were so many events for International Women’s Day that I was invited to or signed up to take part in. I swore off doing things for IWD for a little while because I felt that why should I have to do all this work, it’s my day! Maybe my tweet about it got round because now it’s Women’s History Month and the events are more manageable.
One of the glorious parts of being a...

RPM 2025
February 08, 2025
I like the RPM challenge. The idea is to record and release something in February. I’ve got FAI this month, which is a big chunk of my February time, not just the travel time, but also the prep time so I knew I couldn’t sign on for a full album or EP.

One of my goals for this year is to have fun creating things. After the recording of the Bloom & Grow album I noticed that I was not having fun when recording.

The enjoyment of art is integral to the making of art, and I’m a firm believer in the adage that what comes out is only as good as what goes in.
Live Music: When I lived in Montreal I went to multiple concerts a week. Now that I live in a small town on a remote island in the North Atlantic, I go to far fewer concerts. A lot of my live music experiences since moving back have come from my attendance...

Passion Planner Today I’d like to talk about my Passion Planner which I’ve been using for a decade. (That’s as long as it’s existed!) I initially got a free download pdf of the planner for sharing the kickstarter on social media. I printed it out at staples using different coloured paper for each month and put it in a binder. For I think the first 3 years I used the free downloadable version. They have a bunch of free downloads on their site. Whole planners, one month, daily planners, various habit trackers. If you’d like a real planner and can’t...
