Self love is a great recurring theme, the headwaters that feed my ability to be the best version of myself in every other aspect of my life. Self worth sets the standard that life meets.

I was really inspired while I was pregnant and I wrote a whole album for my baby. I wanted to write a kids album that didn't annoy parents. I used The Beatles 'Rocky Raccoon' as sort of a starting place for my writing.

I love vulnerability. It's what keeps me soft and from becoming emotionally calcified.
Jewel
I love to be alone with life. I love to study simple things: the light as it filters in a window the music of a room full of people chatting a horizon.
