'Meesha's Songs'; Songs from the heart

This is a very exciting blog for me to write because it corresponds with the release of my children's album, "Meesha's Songs." This is my first album and has been a big focus for me in this first quarter of 2013. However, these songs have been in my life for many years.

I found that Meesha's Songs came from the same place that any animal communication comes from, the heart. Animal communication is 'heart centered.' This means that in order to connect with an animal it is important to do so from your heart center as this is the place from which animals speak.

Meesha's Songs came to me one by one, starting many years ago when I adopted Meesha from the SPCA of Upstate New York. As I would walk Meesha and learn new things about her, such as her willingness to show her vulnerability for a belly rub, these little ditties began to form. Meesha’s Songs are, in some ways, like an autobiography/biography of Meesha’s life. They are the story of a former shelter dog as she emerged from her shy, fearful cocoon, into her real self as she learned that she had found her “forever home.”

One day I was at an animal communication course and a friend who was attending the course with me asked me if I had any songs that I sang to my animals. She got a huge kick out of "TiTi L'Orange" and "Rub My Belly." It was from that point that I began to wonder if these songs had a bigger future.

But what made me decide to record the songs? Many people have little songs that they sing to their pets. For me, it was important to give honor to the fact that these songs truly felt inspired both by Meesha and something “more.” Meesha’s songs have always felt like joy to me and the fact that they were heart centered made it important to go forward with sharing them. No matter what has been going on in my life, these songs have always lifted me up.I hope that people will, at the very least take a listen as it is my intention to share the joy I have felt from 'Meesha's Songs' all these years.
