  • HOORAY! Here is my brand new ebook of "Novemberish" stories, poems, and seasonal delights, including Irish folklore, a taste of etymology, a recipe for a truly wonderful cake, a good riddle, and a cast of characters that includes giants, hags, ghosts, foxes, owls, magical musicians, mermaids, a mysterious baker, and many more. The accompanying audiobook, which includes everything in the ebook, opens the door for you to three hours of warm, intimate, company-keeping with me.  It sounds like a dream because it was professionally recorded, mixed, and mastered by the amazing Lauren Passarelli. If you've ever wanted my voice in your ear, well, here it is - and you know that I LOVE to do all the voices and savor every inflection. Your purchase receipt includes three download links - the ebook itself, and the two parts of the audiobook. Please note that this is a virtual offering (rather than a physical CD or printed book). The contents of this book are in many ways the contents of my heart. I am so grateful to you for your interest in "meeting" it and me in the bleak and beautiful world of November.

    In Brigit’s Woven World and other poems of Ireland, the reader is introduced to saints, spirits, wise women, hags, enchanting places, and the Irish language itself. As a scholar and as a poet, I have long been inspired and fascinated by the Irish imagination and its many reflections in folklore, mythology, music, and storytelling. These poems flow out of my own lived experience of that deep and shining well.
  • Welcome home, the new home says Though you are new I feel I know you Welcome to my hearth, she says Come fill my rooms with love and light and joy
    from "Welcome Home," a song commissioned to encourage a friend who was moving away to a new home

    Would you love a beautiful and one-of-a-kind song to celebrate a milestone in your life or in the life of someone you love?

    Would you love a song to bless and encourage yourself or a friend?

    It is my JOY and honor to create commissioned songs that express love and care, that celebrate important achievements or life moments, and that offer blessing, protection, and encouragement. I love to use my gift for music and songwriting to help foster love and connection.  I consciously weave blessing and Reiki energy into every song I make - so there's even more to these songs than words and music!  They carry love and spirit, and YOU are woven into the song, too. This is a very special and meaningful gift to share with the people you love. Anne M, who commissioned "Welcome Home," writes,
    "Thank you from every corner of my heart for the beautiful, perfect blessing song for my friend.  You caught the exact spirit I wanted, more than I ever knew.  I know she will love it, too!"
    To find out more about the process of creating your song, see the note below.

    I will love creating something beautiful for you!

  • Fifty Years are deep and strong Fifty Years might seem quite long, but Fifty Years are never wrong My dears, my dears, three cheers for Fifty Years!
    I made this song to celebrate the 50th wedding anniversary of a very dear couple.  It highlights both the grace and the commitment necessary to reach such a milestone.  Fifty years is indeed a long road, but those who have walked it deserve our accolades and gratitude!  I hope this song will add JOY and a touch of levity to your celebration or to those you wish to honor.  It makes a great gift or can be included in a digital slideshow of photographs from those fifty years. Along with the song download, you also receive a lyric sheet which you can print or send with your gift (or keep for yourself).
