Gratitude Monday: Listening to the voices

After a month of focusing on the Voices that have inspired and comforted me, given me joy and allowed me the occasional escape, I’m grateful to have had them all throughout my life.

Frederica von Stade, Eva Cassidy, Nina Simone, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Bonnie Raitt, Cyndi Lauper, Martina McBride, Cecilia Bartoli, Nana Mouskouri, Linda Ronstadt, Donna Summer, Aretha Franklin—all of these extraordinary women (and many others I couldn’t fit into a mere month), with their amazing voices.

How lucky I’ve been to have come to know them, to sing along with them, to cry beside them.

Thanks, my sisters. Thanks.
