Songwriting and Sharing My Views

I'm not really one of those kinds of people that will write a whole book about my views about things--but I have written tons and tons of songs and poems that express my view of what are probably common feelings among most women. I took a break from SANDRA'S STAND and now I'm back!  The goal is to share my songwriting and poetry journey with you as I prepare to put a new album together sometime in the next year or so.  Goals are good--life sometime's isn't, but that doesn't stop me and shouldn't stop you from dreaming!
Now that I'm a grandmother I have perspective and yes--a good deal of life experience. That's not to say that I think I know everything--I did think that in my 30's--but life's ups and down have a way of putting us in places that stretch us beyond what we thought we could do or supposed we could do. I want to share that journey through poetry and song. I've been doing that since I got my first guitar at age 14 and my friends who knew me then will tell you that I always had a song to sing. Through discouragement, displacement and amid stress, the music's always been there for me. I lost my ability to sing for five years too--silence has been hard for my heart. It's coming back slowly and I want to use it in the way I do best. I want to be a voice for good, for real, for what matters most in the lives of women--of everyone.  I hope you'll join me on the journey.
