Wave Watching, are songs of hope, of joy, of loss, of potential. My goal during the last two weeks of my grandfather’s life was to radiate joy, peace, and serenity through my music. Bedside, during his transition, I played him his favorite songs while mindfully co-creating new songs with the Universe in my grandfather’s honor. It is my intention that this song meets you with joy, laughter, catharsis, serenity and hope. Death is undoubtedly one of the hardest things all of us experience. Receiving the gift of recognizing the joy in grief and loss is something I’m unequivocally thankful for. Immense gratitude for all of the support, friendship, laughter, joy and love!
