I loved the melody on this one. Got this melody of of Looperman. Have faced some challenges over the last year and have learned that when you are confronted you have to stand up for yourself even if noone is there to support you. Never be bullied into silence.

I absolutely love snow. I had planned to do a ‘Snow Goddess’ photo shoot, but was disappointed with the little we had, so I decided to finish this song instead. I love the calm and peaceful tone.

I found alot of great sound loops and patches on Looperman and Freesound and am having a blast. I was super excited to post it on Soundcloud. I have since done some more edits and will be adding some more drums but wanted to share my first song ever! So proud of myself. I am currently working on about 4 more with the intent of performing Isis Wings or Fanveils to at least one. Hope you will follow me on Soundcloud!!

All the proceeds went to Pet Friends of Duplin County. We had a wonderful weekend. Hung out with great friends, danced, had a bonfire, danced some more, and just caused mayhem until the wee hours of the morning. LOL

There are so many crystals on this costume, I love it! This is the perfect time of year for outdoor photography and thought the gold color would be great in the warm Autumn light.
