…..are all around us this time of year…..at least according to old swedish folk-lore. There is about half a meter of snow here in Malmö right now, which is, in my opinion (as someone who is hardly ever in a hurry or driving) VERY LOVELY!!!
I am really loving walking around in the snow, and can’t wait to get out there today…I am just concluding some emailing and listening to the speeches from the Cop15 summit in Copenhagen on the TV. It seems so sad that no agreement has been able to be reached. This is the future of our planet that we are talking about!!! There is a lot of frustration in the air right now in this part of the world. On a positive note, there is at least consensus finally that something needs to be done in order to avoid catastrophy. I feel pretty powerless, but also hopeful for the future…that people around the world can come together for a greater purpose…I guess we will see what happens, but all of this reminds me that I have to do everything I can to take my responsibility, and to figure out how I can make my own lifestyle sustainable. It is a challenge to be a musician who makes very little money who travels a lot, and still trying to be environmentally friendly. But we all are a part of the puzzle of this world..

Anyway, enough of my climate meditations. : )

I also wanted to give a warm HAPPY HOLIDAYS to all you people out there.

This has, in many ways, been the best year of my life, and I want to thank all of you who have made it such a good year for me. I have met some of the most incredible people, and I am so happy that so many people, from Russia to Europe to Canada,  have embraced and supported my music, come out to my shows, played my music on the radio, and encouraged me to continue down my artistic path. Thank you! It really means so much, every little nice comment or everyone who buys my cd.

I am so looking forward to this new decade….

Thank you for a wonderful year!

Love Sarah
