￼￼ Lyrics and music by Jeanine Michaels. Performed by Jeanine Michaels and the Mothers Heartlight Band.￼
“White Butterfly”is about facing our demons, recognizing them, and learning to accept them ￼as a part of ourselves.￼ With the understanding that we are all made of￼shadows and light, and stepping into the light.￼￼

White Butterfly

Music and lyrics by Jeanine Michaels
Featured artist Jim Wilson
This beautiful song, is a soft ballad with piano from Jim Wilson, vocals by Jeanine Michaels and cello from Sarah O’Brien.

 it was written in my living room on my upright piano in one hour! This song was divinely inspired and I am grateful to the universe divine for allowing me access to the celestial spheres. I believe created to bring comfort and courage to our listeners. And it has special meaning for friends of Bill, who gather in “these rooms”. SERENITY! 🙏🏼

Universe Divine

“Let Love Live Here”  is another song written in my living room where I compose most of my music. It had been a frustrating time in my family and in the world so I needed an outlet for my recent experiences.￼￼￼￼
At that time the Jerry Springer show was very popular on television , and after seeing it only twice, I concluded that it was just another evil in the world and didn’t understand why people watched it. So much stress, fighting, noise,  and negative energy!￼

So I decided to write: “Time to wake up and let live live here!￼” it is a call for peace in a world that is troubled enough without publicly exposing discord within your family.￼
“ we shouldn’t waste these precious times”
Life is a precious gift, let’s enjoy it as fleeting as our time ￼￼ here on earth￼ is.￼￼ ❤️

Let Love Live Here

Music and lyrics by Jeanine Michaels
Performed by Jeanine Michaels and the Mothers Heartlight Band

Wave of the Dolphin 🐬 Wing  of the Dove 🕊 is a very spiritual song with a lot of female energy. ￼￼￼You can tell I enjoy recording background vocals!￼ A request for you if you are reading this description, please let me know if there is too much with the background vocals. Thank you.

I Wrote this song on the island of Maui enjoying ke kai, the ocean, and the amazing tropical weather.￼￼￼ it was so relaxing and rejuvenating for the soul that this song was created from that vibration. I have a children’s song called “Give Up the 🍋 Lemons for Da Limes” that I am going to upload next.  I also wrote that song at a different time on the same beach. It has more of a Reggae feel to it, and even though it is on my family with children’s CD, 🦕 Dinosaurs 🎵  Musical Day” any age would probably enjoy it. Especially if you need a vacation!￼ Who doesn’t after the year we’ve had! Please stay safe and healthy my listeners! ❤️￼

Individual credits listed on profile

I wrote this song in my living/music room, where my piano and guitar live, and where I compose most of my music. On this day, for this song, I had just experienced a negative encounter with my brother. NOT the amazing Chris, composer and bass player. The other one. Rather than engage in an escalated altercation, I chose to write this song. Anyone with a sibling will understand completely. And anyone who has ever had an unpleasant moment or two in a relationship will also hopefully understand.

 I think these sibling lifetime relationships are complicated and require the most patience and love. They are complex, often difficult but can be the most rewarding relationships of your life. I believe there's a reason every person appears in your life, so we better figure out why. So just in case we don't work out the issues and have to come back and do it again, let's treat each other with love and compassion.
 "...a little compassion makes more sense"

🐒 "Monkey Revolution" is from my CD for families with children, ages 3 to 9, but fun for the whole family. The CD is "Dinosaurs Musical Day" about the 12 song adventures of any child from the time he/she wakes up till the time he/she goes to sleep. From dinosaurs through teddy bears, and piano playing hamsters, a mean Chihuahua,and learning 
about the instruments in an orchestra, we finally go to sleep with a lullaby from mama.
Monkey Revolution is a fun song to dance to with other kids, your family, your friends, by yourself or find a Simeon buddy! 🐵🐒 
My family is concerned about the environment and the animals we share our planet with. This is one of the reasons I wrote Monkey Revolution. I imagined this is how THEY must feel! So "take it to the trees" and enjoy!

More about "Dinosaurs Musical Day" CD: 
I was working as a volunteer music teacher in a public K through 6 school partly because of budget cuts to the music and art department.
And because I wanted to be close to my own children who were attending that school at the time. I realized, in my opinion, that there were not a lot of great children's songs available to play. How many times can you hear the wheels on the bus go round and round?

So, inspired by my own daughter and son and their experiences, and the kids in my class, I started writing songs for children. I had previously written music for adults so this was a new journey for me. I had so much fun writing these songs but I have to apologize to my now grown children for using their lives as inspiration. I am quite certain it was a great embarrassment for them.

So thank you to all the mothers, fathers, teachers, family members and caregivers who work so hard for children everywhere. This CD is for the children and the inner child in you. A percentage of profits from sales of the CD and the coloring book created to go with it, go to several children's charities, including Children's Hospital of Los Angeles and the Juvenile Diabaetes Foundation. All donations are distributed through our music company, "Mothers Heartlight Music" 
I am now adding the Humane Society of the United States as an organization for donations. Because I love animals, and I have had rescue dogs all my life. We currently have three living at home with us. Our eight-year-old rescue Bree has her own dog blog if you want to check it out at: www.wusuppups.com
She writes the entries from her own unique point of view as a pup living with our family. There are a lot of photos, story entries from the time she was adopted, great "tips of the tail", humor, and more. She has not updated in a long time, because her human mother is technically challenged and hasn't been able to help her upload new stories. We will have to fix that!

So if you read this far, thank you and please let me know if you enjoy any of the songs from the CD. I would love to hear from you, and I am open to all feedback and suggestions. Please feel free to follow me and contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

Dinosaurs Musical Day 

Monkey Revolution 🐒

Music and lyrics by Jeanine Michaels
Performed by Jeanine Michaels and the Mothers Heartlight Band
Inspired by my daughter M and her piano lesson experiences
Special thanks to Pepe, the "Mad Chihuahua"
This song was written after one of my daughters difficult piano lessons because her teachers Chihuahua was constantly bothering her during her lesson. At first I didn't really see it because I stayed during her lesson and didn't really notice the interaction between my daughter and the little dog. But when I noticed him chewing on her pencil, I realized what she had been complaining about. Of course I thought it was funny, but she DID NOT! I had to turn it into a song! And I apologize to her for any further embarrassment this may cause. Her name will remain private. The music was meant to be a little on the scary side, because Pepe was a very scary little Chihuahua. So as our rescue dog says in her blog entry, "face your fears" We hope this brings you a smile!

Mrs. Johnsons Chihuahua

Mrs Johnsons Chihuahua what is written for anyone who has had a difficult time during their piano lesson. It was inspired by my daughters' experience with a naughty little Chihuahua who bothered her during her lessons with Mrs. Johnson, her piano teacher. I thought it was funny, but she DID NOT! The music was intentionally created to be a little on the scary side, because she found Pepe Johnson a little scary! We hope you find the humor!

The CD is "Dinosaurs Musical Day" about the 12 song adventures of any child from the time he/she wakes up till the time he/she goes to sleep. From dinosaurs through teddy bears, and piano playing hamsters, a mean Chihuahua,and learning

Mrs Johnsons Chihuahua

I am a singer/songwriter/musician, former actor In film television and stage, wife￼ and mom of 2 awesome grown children￼. I am currently concentrating on writing a humorous autobiography, short stories, and reflections on daily life. I am blessed to have traveled the world and am grateful for some amazing experiences and wonderful people who have crossed my path along the journey.￼￼ 

Just one month ago, I created my own website! On the website I have a blog page where you can read about my experience, or rather lack of experience, in building a website. I am a singer, songwriter, musician, mom, tool girl, dog rescuer, house manager, and a lot of other things, but I am not a graphic artist and I have certainly never built a website! But please go and visit: www.jeaninemichaels.com and enjoy. I put my heart into it and left my soul on the music page!

I have been fortunate enough to have some of my original songs available on online music venues like Apple Music, iTunes, YouTube and more.  I hope that people will search “Jeanine Michaels and the Mothers Heartlight Band” to find songs they may enjoy. ￼I created two CDs with my talented musicians, the Mothers Heartlight Band. “Dinosaurs Musical Day” is for families with children, and “One Light”  for grown-ups.￼ dinosaurs musical day also has a coloring book created to go with it. It is a great way to bond with your kids as you color along with the songs and discover your own inner child. Also a good entertainment option for caregivers.

I found SoundCloud today for the first time because I was following a link from my brother Chris Hlavka,  who has his original songs on this website. I am so fortunate to have two brothers, Jay and Chris Hlavka, who are not only my cradle to grave buddies, but they are also both talented musicians. And my brother Chris has some beautiful original music available here. Thank you Chris and Jay for being members of my “Mothers ❤️ Light Band” It is my honor!￼￼￼

We currently have three pups living with us, and I have had rescue dogs all my life.￼ Music, children, creating, and animals are my passions in life. ￼￼Although ￼ lately I have been doing house updates and organization, and have been installing and assembling, cleaning, donating clothing, etc, and even got myself my own tool set￼, drill and A custom apron that says “MusicMom with Toolbox 🧰 ”￼

A recent development has been my newfound passion for making videos! I have two YouTube channels and the most recent is a new kids channel. I have been loving making videos with kids in mind. Most of them are ⭐️ starring our rescue 🐶 pup￼s, “The 3 Amigos”
It is an opportunity to use some of my own music as well as incorporate my creative skills. Sometimes you have to wait a long time in life to find exactly what it is you are supposed to be doing!
Link: https://youtube.com/channel/UCZ5c_bL8tHSB7DklhQhgPfg ￼

I welcome any opportunity to give back to the world, and share my many blessings. I aspire to be in harmony with the universe divine and contribute positive energy to life.
My attitude is gratitude! ￼

Our a music company, Mothers Heartlight Music, distributes a percentage of any funds received from CD sales to various children's and animal charities. It is an honor to be able to give back and pay it forward.
