Support Haiti– and indie music

23, Jan 2010

I’m trying to write a few feelings about the earthquake in Haiti but finding it nearly impossible to write anything without sounding trite. I feel like you. It’s horrible. I feel totally helpless and alternately want to get on the next plane to help. I have been so grateful to see the way so many [...]

The Apple Tree

17, Dec 2009

I love Christmas carols, often starting into my Christmas playlist in early October. Maybe it’s because I was born so close to Christmas, but I find these songs so rich and moving. When I recorded my first album, Tonic, I opened it with a carol, O Come, O Come Emmanuel. Then we moved to Korea, [...]

A Felicitous Encounter

20, Nov 2009

Today was our fourth and final day in Balti/Falesti, Moldova visiting Felicia. We’ve had an amazing time.

Four years ago, Adam and I saw this adorable photo of seven-year-old Felicia Stavila, and we knew we had to love her. Felicia lives in an orphanage in the little village of Falesti, Moldova. Moldova is one of the smallest and poorest countries in Europe– a tiny crescent between Romania and the Ukraine. Moldova has [...]
