“My mental space is when I get to a place of creativity, and I can just be myself while I am writing and connecting with the material.”

I am proud to be and I am Welsh, a mother, a wife, a friend and a musician.

I hope to create something that can bring you a little joy, in exchange for the joy I feel making music for you.

Being home with two babies has been challenging and fun, while trying to carve out an identity for myself beyond it.

I love to take the time to blend harmonies and give them depth.

I ask myself am I a mother, a musician, a model again one day perhaps. The answer is simply yes. A woman is many complex things.

I am often asked what my aspirations for my music are. Do I want to fill big stadiums? Do I want to be a star? I just want to touch a few people’s hearts and show my daughters that they can follow their dreams.

I hope to help make a better world for my daughters; to help break down the divides that still very much exist.

Making music is so much fun.

I am often asked how many instruments I can play. My main instrument is the piano – I spent time as a concert pianist.

Nothing is as glossy and perfect as it seems on social media.

“Small Voice” is a deeply personal song I wrote the lyrics and music for.

My father is a Baptist minister and my parents encouraged my music, always having me sing in front of an audience.

Small steps. I’ve been trying to treat myself better. I like to do my make up in the morning. I repeat some affirmations. Something for me.

A proud moment was my very first hater telling me you’ve got a great voice, please stop waving your hands around.

Lately, since I can’t run, I’ve been getting back into yoga. Feels good to take a few moments of peace for myself in the day.

Promises were made and broken. Only you could keep me open.

But I really believe that when you give people authentic identity, which is what Facebook does, and you can be your real self and connect with real people online, things will change.

When companies offer support and assistance for personal and family hardships, their employees become more loyal and more productive.

When it comes to atoms, language can be used only as in poetry. The poet, too, is not nearly so concerned with describing facts as with creating images and establishing mental connections.

When I came to know Mrs. Marcet personally; how often I cast my thoughts backward, delighting to connect the past and the present; how often, when sending a paper to her as a thank you offering, I thought of my first instructress.

They paint me as a villain, I just autograph the artwork.

Sometimes the rewards of risk don’t leave us wrecked. Sometimes we find our passion, our purpose, courage, connection, and comfort. Every good thing in our lives is a direct result of risk.

Connect the dots between individual roles and the goals of the organization. When people see that connection, they get a lot of energy out of work. They feel the importance, dignity, and meaning in their job.

Do stuff. be clenched, curious. Not waiting for inspiration’s shove or society’s kiss on your forehead. Pay attention. It’s all about paying attention. Attention is vitality. It connects you with others. It makes you eager. Stay eager.
