New years, new time, and new music

Hi guys! I hope you’ve had a wonderful holiday season and a great new year so far! I was just thinking about the concept of a “new year”, a new objective period of time in which to make something wonderful happen, a new trip around the sun. And, perhaps even more importantly, a new beginning. No matter how bad things may be going in December, when January 1 rolls around, somehow it just feels different. For one thing, we happily write down 1-1-18 and then groan as we realize that it’s not 18 but 19, as we’re now living in 2019. Apparently. Or in whatever year corresponds to the next year up in your own particular calendar of choice.

The thing is, this idea of a new year (a return to the beginning of it all and yet a step forward at the same time) is an amazing way to rejuvenate our minds and help us to better comprehend the passage of time as well. Just as a new day helps us to have the strength to bounce back from yesterday’s sorrows…and appreciate tomorrow’s joys, a new year helps us to better understand and appreciate our own lives in the context of a finite (and yet simultaneously infinite) sheet of time.

And speaking of new beginnings and recent time, here are some new videos that I’ve had the chance to record in the last few weeks. I hope you enjoy and I hope that this new year is the start of great things for you! :-)

 

Take care and I hope you have a wonderful new year!

Searching for the Light (NEW SONG! :-)

Hi guys!

Well, it’s nice and sunny outside, so of course this would be the perfect time to start absolutely pouring down rain haha. But you know what, it’s ok, cuz now I can just sit down and share my brand new song with you guys! :-) I’m really proud of it, and I hope that it might be able to help you as well — even if it’s just to accept that sometimes life sucks and the only thing we can do is try our best to create some light out of the darkness.

And you know, I really liked the song intro I wrote on YouTube, so I’ll include it here as well! (Why mess with a good thing, right? ;-)

“Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.” – Albus Dumbledore
— Sometimes you just get so tired of being frustrated, overlooked, and forgotten that you write a song about it :-) This song came about after years of frustration, heartache, loneliness, and pain, and it is the song that I’m most proud of (so far!). And as Professor Dumbledore says, even at times when light is hard to find, we just need to remember that we are capable of conjuring it ourselves. All it takes is a little magic, hope, and determination to find our way out of the darkness and into the light!

 

So just keep searching for that light (sounds cheesy, I know, but I’m dead serious) and never stop believing in yourself and in your ability to do magic in a world that so often seems devoid of it.

A big hug and take care,

Tara
