The Moon Shines For You.

Don't Force Things To Happen. You Can Work Towards Things And Keep Yourself Open To Things, People, And Opportunities, But You Can't And Shouldn't Try To Control Everything. Also, If You Haven't Noticed So Far, I Think Sleep Is Really Important.

I Don't Think I Can Tell Any Stories About How I Lived In A Van In Alaska. I Grew Up In The Suburbs, I Even Had My Own Room. We Weren't Poor. Everything Was Very Normal.

The Smell Of Roses, My Children's Bright Eyes And Smiles, Laughing With My Husband, Walking On The Beach, Using My Hands To Do Crafts Or Play Guitar, Brainstorming, And Drinking Coffee, Really Good Coffee.

One Of The Things That's Influenced Me Musically Was My Experience At Brown University. I Was Surrounded By Musicians That I Really Admired, And Felt Challenged To Come Up With Music, Lyrics, And Recordings That Stood Up To The Expectations Of Those Musicians And Myself.

Don't Force Things To Happen.
