In a seemingly dark couple of days after returning home from a trip from an exotic land where I spent the most memorable 6 weeks with a woman I knew I wanted to share my life with I set to work in putting into motion what needed to be put into motion in order to create the reality of what I wanted.

MPMU – Your Heart Will Never Sell You Out

November 4, 2009

If you learn to listen to the voice of your intuition – Your heart then you will be more likely to head in the direction that, not only will make you happiest, but where you want to go.

MPMU1 Dont be Afraid of Your Shadow

September 30, 2009

A Happy Catastrophe Provides An Inspiring Idea

September 17, 2009

I don’t know how it happened, but I accept that, like many mysteries, the answer probably lies…

From Personal Rights to Public Service

September 16, 2009

I never thought of myself as a risk taker, but on reflection I think that I take more chances and make more unconventional decisions than most and I’m still standing.

February Album Writing Month 2009 is upon us and it seems like only yesterday that FAWM 2008 was in full swing, which was my first one. It was also when I was a rookie songwriter.

Passion Revisited!

December 8, 2008
