UPDATE - It`s a New Year

Wow, almost a whole year has passed since my last blog. There have been a lot of changes for me in the last year. I moved back to my hometown which required some time for adjustment. Luckily, I had some great friends that made coming home a lot easier. Change can sometimes be difficult.

For a while, I contemplated on whether I would continue doing music. Self-doubt has always been an issue for me. When an old friend and artist that I knew passed away at the young age of 36, it made me realise how short life really is and that if I really love doing something, I shouldn`t let anything stand in my way. So I took some time and really worked on my writing. I have to say that any repressed feelings that I may have had are now obsolete (lol), it is amazing how you can let go of so much emotion when you write and sing.

I recently had the opportunity to attend Astral Media`s Songwriter`s Workshop www.radiostar.ca/songwriters-workshop, which was very informative and motivating. I had the privilege to hear Dan Hill (www.danhill.com) sing and speak. He really is an inspiring artist and writer. The stories he told touched me on many levels. Sitting there, surrounded by so many talented people made me realise that I’m not alone and that it`s not only me that sometimes get`s discouraged. Being creative isn`t a choice, it`s a need.

Albeit a very contemplating year, I am back and ready to go, motivated and determined to pursue my goals. You will hear a lot from me this year. New songs, videos and blogs are on their way. On a very happy note, I am pleased to announce that the song ``No, No, No`` is now available to purchase. You can buy it at ITunes as well as on other great online stores. You can view my links on my website at www.femmechakra.com. Also on my links page, if you would like updates please don't hesitate to leave your contact information. It's really nice to be back and I'm excited to get started. Be blogging soon!
