Stevie vibes (I wonder if he took his belt and wrapped it around his hat and fastened it with a rubber band as well... or maybe it’s just a homesteader MacGyver 🤓🧐)

I started singing with my family’s show when I was 5. It wasn’t the attention, it was the puzzle. Figuring out how to get what was in my head out of my mouth. It was hard. And I liked it. I had emotions swirling and colors blooming and bursting, and singing seemed to make it all dance and flow. I got signed at 19. That seems so young to me now. I was unprepared for the studio - singing live my whole life was hardly the preparation I thought it would be. I was a live singer- a bundle of raw emotion that emptied out of my mouth. It was about people in front of me , and feeling them and singing to their pain. To their stuck places. The hurt places in me found the hurt places in them, and the magic of music was this balm .. this medicine... this salve that connected us and healed us. The studio had no audience. No hearts. Just a weird glass booth where I heard myself too crisply and it was hard to find the emotion under the microscope. I cut my first album live in a coffee shop because I couldn’t figure out how to get an honest performance in the studio. It took me years and years to be able to bring feelings up the same way.... I’m 45 now. I’m making my.... 11th album I think? And I think it’s the first time I don’t feel self conscious singing in a glass booth. Like it flows out of me in here. It’s not the same as the stage - but I’ve gotten better at feeling your hearts even though they are not in front of me. Connecting beyond the 4 walls, to all the beauty and hope and struggle that lives in us... and letting my lips open like a prayer ... for health, for joy, for purpose, for healing, forgiveness, strength ....

It’s getting closer! 🎶

Folk singers: better for your health 🧐😛

This made me laugh! I resemble this remark! Anyone else? 🙋‍♀️

This is why I love social media! This moves me to tears! That I get to know about such a wonderful person, whom I may never meet, but just knowing this type of kindness and heroism exists makes me all misty eyed ....thank you Alaa and @zikoeltobgy ... #Repost @zikoeltobgy ・・・ This is Alaa. He’s been my best friend since we were eight. A couple of days ago he risked his own life to save a mother and her daughter from a raging house fire. He has burns on his face and around his eyes, even burning some eyelashes. He’s my hero and has a heart of gold. I’m so proud of him and he should wear his burns proudly! After it happened he went back to his normal life; taking care of his four younger siblings and living in the basement of an apartment. I love you so much❤️ And you will always be my hero. Please take his story and try and spread love. Everyone should try and be more like him. Don’t take your life for granted. 🇪🇬❤️ #alaa #hero #love #cairo #egypt

“Man, sometimes it takes a lifetime to sound like yourself” - Miles Davis I love this is quote - it’s true in music and life. It takes us a long time to have the courage to be ourselves. To see what’s unique about ourselves. To value ourselves. To strip away all the ways we emulate in an effort to fit in. The quicker we can learn that the very things that make us unique and don’t let us fit in, are are surest way to stand out and often make a living - cause if you want to stand out, be yourself cause no one else can! The best artists all stoped worrying about fitting in, and learned to embrace their own oddness. To quote another great- “the privilege of a lifetime is to being who you are”- Joseph Campbell

This is a wonderful organization that serves our brothers and sisters and elders on the reservation in the southwest - details below. These elders deserve so much respect and care, and they often have no electricity, adequate fire wood , coal or food. If you are in the areas of Utah and Arizona , pls consider volunteering! It will be fun and fill your heart! #Repost @adoptanativeelderofficial with @get_repost ・・・ Each spring and fall the Program delivers boxes of food, clothing and simple medicines to many different areas of the reservation. The first Foodrun delivers items to the Oljato and Navajo Mountain areas in Southern Utah. Next are areas around Winslow including, Leupp, Dilkon and Birdsprings. Following these Foodruns, items are delivered to Elders living in areas in the Northeast section of Arizona close to Chinle - Many Farms, Tsaile, and Pinon. Then we head to more areas around Winslow - Sanders, Teesto, and Big Mountain. The Program provides many options for support people to participate in these Foodruns.
