Wow wonderful soulful sound...thank you for sharing.🙏

April 2023 Spotlight

"This is not a drill, repeat, this is not a drill." - imagine those words in Edward James Olmos gravelly voice, and hopefully you can picture the setting for this track. It's actually meant to be a soundtrack piece! One set in an especially stressful time. My daughter enjoyed being thrown around in the air to this.

Set Condition Red

Wow! thrilled to have made Tom Robinson's BBC 6 Music show and Fresh Faves 14.2.22!! This is from my 2nd album The Awakening. Made using loops/samples with love, by Helen Meissner.
How often do we ask ourselves ‘who do we want to be?’ It’s something that gets asked a lot of us when we’re younger isn’t it? But with a twist, everyone wants to know WHAT we want to be.
As an adult, after years of conditioning, we might need to go back to that question, and look behind the masks. It’s difficult because for many we have become the persona we felt society demanded of us. So in a way it’s clean slate time, time to ‘play’ in a way. To really fantasise. And it’s not easy. We’re conditioned to conform and fit into society, seamlessly and obediently.

New roles emerge and old roles change throughout our life. Masks are worn. Pretty much all the time. What’s appropriate in one setting most certainly is not in another. We often learn the hard way. And it’s sometimes toe curlingly embarrassing. And we struggle to forgive ourselves. It’s a real problem. It stops us getting out of the boxes we’ve allowed ourselves to be put in. And gradually saps our energy and joy til we might feel like a 2D version of ourselves.
Am I being too dramatic here? Sorry if this does not resonate. I know it will for a number of people reading. Our fear of doing something which is ‘wrong’ or which makes people think we are a loser, or which makes people talk about us in a way we feel to be disrespectful or unkind is palpable. Which is a million times worse if we find we actually agree with some of it at some level (or would if we’re being honest with ourselves). Being ‘found out’, being called a fraud, a fake... does that strike fear into the heart of you? Make you feel sick? If so we have to go there.  It’s also sometimes called Imposter Syndrome. What if someone realises that I am actually winging it and making it up as I go along? Join the club!
Perhaps we’ve striven to be the child our parents always wanted? The pupil the teachers were proud of? The friend that never let anyone down? The lover who always excited? The star at work? The parent who loved unconditionally and didn’t ‘fuck their children up’? (thanks for that ironic cross to bear, Philip Larkin). And perhaps we’ve not been 100% successful in those quests?
The reality is we cannot please all the people all of the time. And anyway, how people react really does say more about them than about us. We might have inadvertently touched upon one of their red flags, one of their insecurities about themselves and they then overreact to something that really, is NOT a big deal to other people. Ever noticed this?

Well we all have a choice about how we react to someone else’s behaviour towards us. And I have learnt to, in the most part, notice it, assess it and then move on. 
As we can’t guarantee to please others, we might as well please the most important person in your life. You. And as a bonus, if you are comfortable and accepting of yourself, kind and perhaps loving and tolerant(like you would be to a friend?), you will draw people into your life who recognise those qualities. And do yourself a favour. Others, manipulators or narcissists, will be attracted too as they will see that they can have a very nice life with you, thinking you are a pushover. Please always notice your interchanges and exchanges with them. And as soon as something happens which presents a red flag for you, investigate it, discuss it and act on your instinct if you realise this person is not as good for you as they might have appeared early on. People CAN change and you might be the first person to have pointed this unacceptable behaviour out to them. So give them a chance to redeem if that’s what you both want. But just keep an eye out for your own red flags and don’t ignore them. It’s better to be in a good relationship with yourself than a bad relationship with someone else.

So WHO do you wanna be – NOW?

{Lyrics}
I know it’s hard, hard to say
That you need anything
Cause you're used to carryin’ it all by yourself
You've got a heavy heart, lot of pain 
I can see it on your face
But you never ever say a word
 
When the rain starts to fall
And the storm’s gettin’ rough
I hope you know that you can call on me
When it's all fallin’ down
And there’s no one else around
I hope you know that you can count on me
 
You don’t have to do it alone
You don’t have to do it alone
You don’t have to do it alone
I’ll carry that weight for you
I’ll carry that weight for you
 
I know you're strong, strong enough
To carry the weight of the world
But you don't have to do it by yourself
We all need someone, I know it's true
Cause I need somebody too
All ya have to do is just say the word
 
When the storm’s ragin’ on
And ya walkin’ home alone
I hope ya know that you can call on me
Don't ya keep it all inside
Don't ya hold onto your pride
I hope you know that you can count on me 
 
You don’t have to do it alone
You don’t have to do it alone
You don’t have to do it alone
I’ll carry that weight
I’ll carry that weight for you
 
Take my hand, when I reach out to you
Hold on tight, I'll help ya see it through
 
Lean on me, let me carry you
See you don't' have to face it all alone
Face it all alone
 
You don’t have to do it alone
You don’t have to do it alone
You don’t have to do it alone
You don’t have to do it alone
 
You don’t have to do it alone
You don’t have to do it alone
You don’t have to do it alone
You don’t have to do it alone
 
You don’t have to do it alone
You don’t have to do it alone

hey. this is for anybody who's having a hard time keeping jesus first. just remember to worship the creator and not the creation. jesus loves you and is with you all the time. try to focus more on him instead of others and yourself, and you'll begin to see the transformation you've been searching for.

She tackles subjects such as gender equality, mental health, love and loss, all delivered in a velvety package that is silky smooth and soft to the ear.
