    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.
  • A collection of beloved poems in English and Irish that I've set to music for voice, piano, and harp. In addition to the CD, please feel most welcome to download my resource book which contains the texts of the poems, biographies of the poets, and questions and ideas to spark your own poems.  FREE:  my gift to you!
  • A brand new book of poems!  These are short, readable, image-rich, and lyrical.  If you'd like me to sign your book, just let me know in the buying notes and tell me to whom you want your book inscribed.  It will be my pleasure.  
  • 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!"

    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).
  • Welcome, Tiny Body Welcome, Mighty Soul Overjoyed to greet you Love and light be your new home.
      A song to welcome and celebrate a new baby.  This song is also a powerful blessing for anyone who needs to remember how deeply welcome they are in this world, this life, right now, today.  May it hold your new little one - or the little one inside you - in a radiant circle of welcome, safety, love, and blessing. Along with the song download, you also receive a lyric sheet which you can print or send with your gift (or keep for yourself).
  • Every hand that touches you Every eye that falls upon you Every mouth that speaks of you Let there be love
      A song to bless and protect anyone at a fearful or vulnerable time.  I created this song for a little boy who had been taken into foster care, but it applies just as much to anyone going into surgery or treatment of any kind.  Really, anyone who is entering the uncertain territory of care by others would be helped by the reminder that they are held, loved, and blessed.  At some stage, that is all of us! Along with the song download, you also receive a lyric sheet which you can print or send with your gift (or keep for yourself).
  • Owl in the tree goes hoot in the night Fox in the bush goes bark Owl in the tree goes hoot in the night Fox in the bush goes bark Up in the sky the wind goes sigh But the shadows they say dark In the dark
      An original song, co-written with guitar and recording wizard Lauren Passarelli, which celebrates the power and mystery of the dark. The cast of characters includes owl, fox, the wind, the moon, a girl in a tower, whales in the Sea, and of course, the dark. Along with the song download, you also receive a lyric sheet which you can print or send as a gift (or keep for yourself).
