 people that know me know that I’m a big supporter of women in music and women in entertainment , where it’s always been somewhat difficult in a very male oriented world, but my friend Beatrice Kimmel , who is also a top PR person , has started a beautiful blog…. she has an unusual story to tell, and I think her love and support of women is really important and wonderful to read and uplifting so take a peek🎸🎶🙏❤️💪💪💪💪💪🌈🐻💪❤️❤️❤️

So another year is passing. I always felt time was liquid, and flowing and it flows faster and faster each year.
Some of us have had great successes, new births, great performances, good jobs, healing and joy this year. Some of us have had losses and disappointments, and hurt and pain... but all of us, I believe, have felt the weight of the world as it is right now and where we stand as human beings who share this beautiful Mother called earth.
I am wishing, praying and meditating on peace for our fellow brothers and sisters... for those we don't know, but who are not strangers.
I am grateful for what I have been blessed with in my life, my children, my husband , friends and family... the great power of music ...and hoping I can continue to bring service and happiness to others with what God gave me.
Let us remember who we can be.
"We can fly, we can crawl too, it's down to you, it all comes down to you" Joni Mitchell

Blessings, joy, light, love, music and PEACE on this beautiful planet, our home. Our only home. Happy New Year!!!!!
