Welcome to my Dream Journey as through your interests I am able to reach beyond  borders. It is my desire to expand the realms of greatness here on earth, one individual at a time as we Co-create a better world to Live & Love in.

 

The more we share and expand our lives the more we realize we’ve only touched the surface – there is so much in this world to enjoy and discover.  I see things now from the innocence of a young child as they stress-free roam their freedom unencumbered,  enjoying their true essence and motorability,    to our loved seniors as they struggle with motorability and try to remember who they were and what once was.  Some right back to the point of unencumbered freedom once again as the mind has slipped away.  

 

I find myself somewhere in the middle of this and wonder what is it really that has us go through the many avenues in between and what is it all worth?    It really doesn’t matter who we are, look like or where we are.  In the end just as in the beginning what only really matters is who is in our lives and the love and caring they give. All else is truly secondary for when we come to once again being totally dependent on the care-taking of another,   no one really asks what did you accomplish or even how much money you have.   You may receive admiration of these things but everyone gets the same love and care and they live amongst each other rather equally.    The difference is – who comes to visit you? 

 

The love and caring we give,  all-ways outshines all else we accomplish and enriches ourselves as we enrich others. So it is the same with how we love and care for our Soul as it lives this earth experience -- inside these bodies.  We cannot ignore these avenues and must take the time to nourish.  This is what no one can ever take from

 Us -- no matter what!   This is the source of where we balance.

 

The illusion of perfection changes colour when you step into lives and see people who live so very different then the ‘Norm’ and yet they reach out to you in a grateful thankful loving manner, far beyond what you’ve probably experienced before.

The things we find so valuable during life,  strive so hard for,   give up so much of what we deeply within ourselves really want,  all falls by the way side at some point.   So much focus on the exterior,  the busyness,  more and more and we end up with less in the long run. What about honouring and nurturing our Health?  How much of our Mind-Body-Soul gets nurtured and healed in all this,  as time and energy diminishes.

 

Through music I would like to address the things that really deal with lasting Value,    the Gift each person can implement within themselves for a richer life walk.     I look at my audience when I sing,   finding the content looks on their faces,   smiles,  the peaceful energy that emanates and has replaced the stress when they first walked in, gives me a feeling of a real true human evolvement.   Re-creating that balance that modern day humans have imbalanced. 

 

It is what I live,  feel,  witness,  believe and want to share with the world.  I feel it has been growing inside of me for all my life.  I believe my listeners can relate to what I am talking about and also it allows them to experience their many feelings calmly, even to be moved to tears -- but then finding comfort and understanding to move foreward.

 

These songs will truly take you to Your Center.  My music is not about directing your beliefs or feelings,   but rather to help guide you to Your place  - where you know what Truths are real and right for You......

 I believe in a World where individuals respect the Gifts that Creation has presented to us, diminish outside influences and co-create a world of great Joy, Peace and Conscious living......to share this is true unimaginable Bliss!

 

So I hereby invite ‘YOU’  to come and share this Journey with Me!

 

Peace,

 

Leta

 

 

* * Revealing the Songs * *

 

 

I’ve come to believe that we must always walk Placidly amongst the Noise, so to quieten the appearance of what truly does not bless us, and raise the energy that only Spirit generates, then Peace and Tranquility are the ‘Rewards’.  It is in this Peace that all the answers come as we need.

It is in this Peace that Healing & true Joy manifests......

 

I Dedicate this album to my Mother who taught me no matter how difficult our Journey,  to always see & believe in the Good in everyone. I have loved and recognized Her Sweet Spirit which still continues to carry Me.

 

Each Song just as Life always has a Journey -- a Story, as well as a Purpose which is different for everyone who hears it.  This album has wonderfully come together still to my amazement,  I am truly grateful to all those that had a part in and around it.   I am especially Grateful for the endless Inspiration through me that is the Source and direction of my Music.

 

Song # 1:  ‘ Reach Out and Touch Your Spirit ’

In our daily bustle we so easily push our Spirit aside.  If we can only stay open to and let it always be our guide -- letting go of all that is of lesser concern,  we can and will truly walk our Divine Destiny. 

Right from the start I knew I wanted to name this album ‘Touch Your Spirit’ However there was no title track written.  For the entire recording I made attempts to write it,  but nothing came and I believed it just wouldn’t happen. Two weeks before finalizing the CD  I woke up with the words ‘Reach out & Touch Your Spirit’ on my mind and the rest of the song just followed.  I walked in the studio,  song in hand,  my producer listened to it and said “ I like it – let’s do it ”  so we dropped another song and had the title track!!

 

 This song is truly getting to the Heart of Your spirit,  about letting go and Releasing all the Fears and things that block and jumble up our thoughts, our lives, what society and others have told us we should do and be etc.... It’s like freeing up space on our computers so that the programs we really need to run & our deepest desires can function smoothly.  We seem to loose the important ingredients of loving ourselves,  staying clear and open for direction......in-touch with who we really are.  Fears and blockages only keep us frozen in destruction instead of living in ‘Trust’ and ‘Truth’.

 

 

Song # 2:   ‘ Safe in the Arms of Love 

I think one of the best feelings I have ever experienced is feeling Safe... in arms of Love!    We are never alone, there are always Arms of Love around us, whether it is the many different forms of human loving,  spirit, pets, nature, places we go and things we do, loving thoughts etc.  Love is all-ways the best we have to give and receive so let us embrace ‘all that is Love’.

 

Song # 3:  ‘Voice of Canada

My dear friend wrote this poem of Canada and it touched me so to write music to it.  It  is a Tribute to this Great Country filled with Beauty and Wonder!  I see on a daily basis how we have taken our earth for granted, and caused great destruction and dishonor to it.    This is our “Gift” and we must return to Preserving & Treasuring it for ourselves, and for those we love who follow us. I want this song to reach people so that each individual takes a strong stand and understanding to do their part to return our environment --- our Earth to a healthy state so we don’t perish with it.  We have the knowledge – let’s do it!

 

Song # 4:   ‘ Peace Like a River’

As I was looking through my friends book of poems one morning,   it just opened to Peace like a River.    Although I know I read it before,  this morning for some reason just spoke to me.  A fitting tune out of the blue played through my mind and I went with it. As I was finishing this song someone called & told me I must check the news. That happened to be September 11, the exact same time the Trade Centers were being attacked in New York.  With all the horror going on there I totally forgot about this song.  A few weeks later I came back to finalize this new song I had written and that is when I first realized the Miracle!  The message here is clear that no matter how destructive humans behave,  we are connected to the never ending force of Peace, Comfort and Healing to move beyond all tragedies.

 

Song # 5:    ‘ Did You Miss the Roses’

Roses have truly got to be one the most beautiful flowers created.   They are among my favourites.  This song is not just about the flower,   but comparing Life to Roses – a precious velvety perfection with the perfect aroma and colours – we must carefully trim the thorns on the stem so we can hold on to the rose without pain and enjoy only the Beauty.  

  I also have my Son to thank for teaching me at his young age about exploring, taking time to stop & admire the Beauty all around us as he would pick up little stones or sticks along our adventures & fill his pockets to take home.  My first response was that I didn’t want items like this brought into my home,  but soon realized the beauty he saw  in things I had missed.  So in our every day we must stop and marvel at the wonder all around us,  the precious people in our lives, or we will rush by and miss the precious things of Life.

 

Song # 6:   ‘Legacy In Granddaughter’s Eyes’

Grandfathers & Grandmothers are just so very, very special.  Whether they are directly related or not,   their wisdom and gifts of life teach us value and to grow older more gracefully.   This song is an Honour to all grandparents.

And even when their Journey moves beyond earth their Love & Teachings continue on in us.  This song was inspired by a heartfelt poem a friend gave me that her daughter had written --- a pure message truly from the Heart.

 

Song # 7:   ‘He Said’

This is a song I actually wrote for Myself for healing as I was living through a very difficult situation and looking for uplifting and comfort.   My spiritual avenues seem to always be available even more so when going through valleys in life.   Knowing we are never alone and supported in every way,  I take great comfort and guidance in that.  Promoting Inner Peace is also a tool that helps to change things back to balance.

 

Song # 8:   ‘I’ve Stood on the Mountain’

This song is designed as a meditative avenue combining the Christmas and Easter story together, bringing the messages and meanings to modern day life regardless of what faiths and beliefs we have. I find Christ to be the most enlightened Master that’s walked this Earth --- with the most simplistic teachings of living an  abundant Life.   As we walk in Love and heed to these teachings,    life can be ‘Heaven on Earth’.   This song  is my Vision and I dream that one day I will walk the same grounds He walked on peacefully.

For Leta,

 

The “Touch Your Spirit” album is a wonderful melody of soothing, relaxing and uplifting music – it’s music for the body, mind and soul.  It has substance and depth within

the framework of each song and Leta’s voice can not be described as anything short of heavenly.

 

 This album holds a very special meaning for me as it touches me in a way that no other has and each time I play it, it returns me to one of the most important times of my life – cherished memories with my youngest son.  I would play this album to comfort and quiet him as a newborn – and although he is now three, this album still brings us the same quality time as we sit and rock together while listening to it.

 

As a working Mom, I find that playing the “Touch Your Spirit” album in the background while working takes a lot of the stress out of my day.  It’s soft undertones and continuous flow make it ideal listening music during those extra stressful days.

 

If anyone were to look for the chicken soup of the music world – this album would be it.  I can’t imagine getting through some of my days, let alone most of my weeks without playing this album.  It brings me home again, to a place of inner-peace, comfort and quiet time.

Dear Leta,

I'm writing to you to tell you how much your CD has meant to me. When we first got your CD it was filling our house with it's beautiful energy every day. My husband and I still listen to it quite regularly. I find that it is particularly a wonderful tool to bring me to my center. When I have it on while working the work seems to do itself as I float along to the lyrics to the music. Thank you for blessing us with this tremendous gift and keep producing new songs............

Your song "Reach Out and Touch Your Spirit"  has a particularly deep meaning for me and yesterday I was reading in the "Course in Miracles" book. It said on p. 153 "Healing is the result of using the body solely for communication. Since this is natural it heals by making whole, which is also natural. All mind is whole. Mind cannot be made physical, but it can be made manifest through the physical if it uses the body to go beyond itself. By reaching out the mind extends itself (which is love). To communicate is to join...only extension is the mind's function."
When I listen to "Reach Out" I get a visual of extending and joining with the Christ in others, seeing their holy sinless light which is spirit.

You are Pure Love Always.

Hi Leta,

 

I had a chance to listen to your entire CD Touch Your Spirit. The music moved me. I listened to it in the serenity of my cottage beside the lake with no distractions up on Manitoulin Island.

May your soul continue to soar through your music and voice.

 

Peace, Joy, Light and Love be with you All-Ways.

 

Thanks,    Michael
