As long as I can remember, I’ve been immersed in music and art. I was three years old the first time I sang on stage and I remember rehearsing, thinking it was exactly where I was meant to be. I was so excited to turn five, that meant I was old enough to start piano lessons like my older sisters.

A couple weeks back I wrote about transition season and how I could sense a shift coming. My intuition was right, life isn’t the same as it was even two weeks ago. Funny how quickly things can change. The temperatures are dropping, the crows are squawking and the sunsets are arriving earlier.Colors are deepening and I’m noticing more violet, burgundy and orange in my surroundings. With the visual reminders of inspiration and creativity, it feels as though there’s magic all around me. Which, o...
