Happy CNY year of the fire horse

ive been long due an update… my new ep has been yet again delayed but I remain hopefull this year will be its year..

2025 saw me only play a couple shows but wow I got to play the Theatre Royal in Waterford.. I lived in Waterford for a few years in college and really fell in love with it so this was a huge honour..

I was shortlisted for the Red Line Literature Book Festivals Annual Poetry Competition and I was asked to read my poem ‘The Tailor ” for a public audience which was my first time doing a reading of my poetry and another great honour..

Following this upon pondering with a fellow poet she & I instigated the establishment of a poetry society that meets monthly in Dublin… with or without me and I love this so much.. the ripple effect or art.. and ideas.. of love and poetry…and they are such a sexy ..excellent talented bunch… In awe of them all.. when i get to romance in hearing and being with them

Speaking of which I am a student too of the largest all womens , womens studies class in the world !!!!!! and when I tell you these women give me power and hope ! I aint lying… this class is a highlight of every week.. nothing compares to these big hearted brave poets..

I am presently gathering my poems to out together my first poetry book & I am still a poet for hire x

I have been nomading and trying to learn all manner of ways we can to solve our basic need issues.. and that is ongoing and no doubt like my herbalism life long learning..

I had to make some tough decisions with projects and take stock and reset.. but the future looks brighter at the end .. as much as we have to grieve work that sometimes isnt what we hoped and or we need to go back to the drawing board.. its very brave to stay creatively true.. especially women artists … more than ever…

alignment of values.. of tastes,, of work ethics..

then the real fun in projects can exist and you still get your work done.

fun

so it has been fun to play in public for people again… i played in Anseo before Santa came and now in 2024 I have played in my own local City of Cork where I live in the Triskel hosted by the lovely Yoga Collective and the Barefoot Gypsies.. it was a gorgeous time with herbal teas and cakes…Just recently played the delicious venue that is Maureens withe the amazing M’ADAM and Rory McDonal AKA Actor Actor…and we had the best night…what a magic spot,,cant wait to play there again

to support me, get the juicy news, snail mail from me, potential to buy art , join workshops or get replays, hear more on new music, for 3 euro per month its all happening on my patreon…i love this space i think it is amazing for artists..

recent months i must confess have been a mixed bag…but to lead by example i aim for The pace i take is not one of any industry but the poetic and the divine. for i can not create if im not led by my heart and aligning with what feels right… we are living in heavy times ….to bare witness …to stay present…do our best… keep making life beautiful where possible…to be of your highest service given your unique talents and gifts..

But God knows as they say.. God knows me best… the Universe ..or energy of the source or whatever you call it or maybe you have no belief in that at all… I can see why ..and thats the case for so many… and that makes sense to me also.. I feel a knowing about it now that i no longer deny however…

there is all the low level ..low vibrational bull shit we all go through , the part of life, somethings we reinact, some seemingly random, patterns we repeat even when we try not to… and yet…many of us claw our way back to love… through all that would prove us wrong.. through all the disenfranchised and bewildered inner children of all the adults we know wanting it to be one thing so that nothing then can matter…

you do matter… love is real.

miracles happen all day everyday if you can see them and feel them

you can be a miracle to somebody..

your art , your music, your expression

your life and the way you live can be an inspirational miracle

love, LOVE, LOVE
