Responses to Betsy's work seasons of life

Birth, end of life, building lasting relationships, nurturing the next generation, and embracing change as the years unfold- explore music and programs that honor these seasons of life.

“Thanks be to springtime
Thanks be to fall
For the seasons of our lives thanks for it all
We were never meant to stay
We are always on our way…”

(From Going Home, on Real To Me). A new CD with songs of loss, remembrance, and simple love.

My own seasons include–teenage songwriter… the modern feminist cultural movement… midlife parenting…finding my voice for political and social change… precious years with my own aging parents… the loss of a parent… and writing songs and offering programs that connect us all in these common seasons of life.

“How could anyone ever tell you, you were anything less than spectacular!  The raves have not stopped commenting about the event, and about you in particular. Your warmth, your good energy, your shining spirit truly pulled the program and the room together.”
-Linda Blackman, Mother’s Listening Project (for mothers with cancer)
