So, I’ve thought a lot about life and how I want to live the remainder of my time and what legacy to leave. Simply put, I want to live in the now. Enjoy every moment. Be kind, be good, be the best I can be. No regrets about the past and no worries about the future. This album is a manifestation of that vision. Whatever time is left, I will focus on kindness, generosity and positivity. The here, the now, the miracle of life.

♫ Backstory ♫
It’s impossible to live a life without affecting others, both in positive and negative ways.
How many ill-advised words have I spoken, or encouraging words left unsaid? How many actions that unintentionally hurt others, or actions I should have taken but didn’t, can be contained in one life? I don’t know. But many.
No doubt, most of us try to be good. Try to be kind. And even then, there are times I wish I had done things differently—been more patient, more generous, more loving. Times I wish I had offered empathy instead of criticism.
So I began thinking about forgiveness and the power of forgiving.
When we forgive, we let go. As His Holiness the Dalai Lama teaches us about forgiveness: “Learning to forgive is much more useful than merely picking up a stone and throwing it at the object of one’s anger, the more so when the provocation is extreme. For it is under the greatest adversity that there exists the greatest potential for doing good, both for oneself and others.”
To forgive
To ask for forgiveness
To let the tide carry away what no longer serves
