After Today
Weighed down with sorrow today
I see you struggling in every way
Nights are long and heavy and sad
Few and fewer moments when you’re glad
Lullaby Princess
Lullaby Princess is a sweet little lullaby written for a baby girl, my baby girl. I made it up 13 years ago, shortly after bringing her home from the hospital. It’s a right of passage for every mother to sing
Home to Me
This song is dedicated to the people, places and memories that make us feel at home.
I Can’t Explain It
This is a song that for me was more of an expression of a feeling than anything else. The feeling is more complex than just one emotion like joy, contentment, peace or love. Thus, the title “I Can’t Explain It”.
Iris’ Song – Your Smile
The founders of the Cure GM1 Foundation, Christine and Doug, have a beautiful daughter named Iris. A good friend of theirs, Jamie Bucchignano Angevine composed a song for her. Christine asked me if I would record the music and vocal for the song. I really enjoyed being a part of this project. Listen to it in the video above and/or download the mp3 recording below.
Set Sail
I wrote Set Sail for my husband Brad and performed it for him at our wedding reception back in 2004. A friend of mine, who was at the reception, recently asked about the song and suggested I record it. So
Just Feel
As human beings we all experience negative emotion. We are supposed to! It’s a part of life. Many people think that we should always be happy and feel good all the time.

I Hope
I have a new original song for you this month; it’s about my amazing daughter, Laya. It’s hard to put into words the emotions and story behind this song; the years of ups, downs, efforts, growth, set backs, challenges, struggles, determination and joy that have been piling up in the pocket sized moments of her 12 years of life. As her Mother, I haven’t quite blossomed to my full potential yet, but I feel this fire inside of me that gives me some inkling of what I am capable of. I have glimpsed, during sweet moments of inspiration, how precious she is; and they have been like rays of light continuing to lead me down the correct path. I have a lot of hopes for her and I believe in her. I know she is brilliant, unique and priceless. I just hope she can believe all of it for herself.
As I ponder My Eternal Value – Original Hymn
As I Ponder My Eternal Value by Marilee Kay Verse 1: As I ponder my eternal value, help me feel the worth of my soul. Father, Thou hast blessed me with Thy light, and Thy Son can make me whole. As I
