May 13, 2024 was my birthday. I entered my 7th decade on this planet. This video is not a celebration, it is a testament. Life is messy, life is hard, life is lonely, life is cruel, life is wild. Life is full of internal voices and outside forces pushing and pulling, questioning… But life is full of serendipitous experiences, moments. This video is a testament to the unexpected places I have been and have yet to go. The song is from my first album which shockingly charted in the top 30 on the College Music Charts in 2011 when I was 47. When I wrote it it meant something entirely different to me than it does now. Ten years ago I knew virtually nothing about video creation and editing and now a piece has been accepted for publication. I am not famous. I am not glamorous or rich. Awards don’t line my shelves. But life moves, life ebbs, life flows, life connects. Life gets lost, trips, falls and recovers. Life begins in one way, life ends in another and everything in-between is a surprise. I am still being surprised. This video is a testament.
