My career was about to change radically, in turning 50 I had hit the age where my Dad made a big career and his life started to unravel.

Whatever I have not yet learned to tolerate in myself inevitably will appear in my children. In this way, they, like Julia, guide me to a new level of self-awareness and everyone benefits.

I must let go of my need for the world to love me.

I had to beat the bags, big time, I had to get out into the den and start screaming and move it through my body.

I am attracting a new audience now, one that is more open and more spiritually inclined.

When I see that my geek may have contained some of the best parts of me, when I love and appreciate him, I set my children free to see themselves as lovable however they are.

The Spirit speaks directly to our hearts through music. That's why music has always had such power to move people into positive action.
