I won't lie, my hopes of making an energetic dive into the new year were lost in a sea of tissues, naps, questionable herbal remedies, and finally resignation to the reality that recovering from the flu would mean time for quiet reflection and writing, which ended up being the best way to begin 2023.
In the quiet joy of strumming my guitar and listening as new songs began to stir, I had a flashback to the days before our Secret Hollow.
It was during the dark ages of record label life, when letting the mysterious creative process unfold was considered a waist of time and resources. Instead, writing sessions were booked in pokey little rooms with other song writers, where I was told what subjects were best to write about if I wanted to make a living as an artist.
I realized I couldn't express myself honestly. It seemed like no one valued what I had to offer. I felt unknown, even by myself. I was scared to put my heart out there, because if I really wrote about what I loved and no one wanted to listen I would truly be alone. But the only way forward was to take a chance...
That was three years ago, and as I remembered this time, I was struck in a new way by how much your support has changed my life.
Without you, I wouldn't have the time or freedom to create. I wouldn't have the same sense of purpose and excitement. I wouldn't be releasing my first album. I wouldn't be planning my first tour.
But perhaps most importantly, if you didn't believe in me, I wouldn't be here in the quiet, writing with my whole heart.
In this new year I have so many ideas for recording projects and ways we can connect more here in this Secret Hollow.... but before I dive into these things over the coming weeks I wanted to begin this year by saying, thank you.
Thank you for being here, for listening, for inspiring me, for supporting me, for encouraging me, for sharing things you love with me, for making it possible to continue creating...
Thank you for changing my life.
Love,
Eva

Catie, you and me both! I love that when I go to write something, you're on my mind and heart. It helps to be able to picture the people who will be listing. Knowing your likeminded love of beauty and nature is waiting for a new tune inspires me to create! Thank you, my friend <3

Thank you Mitch Owl <3 I'm so glad you're here. Thank you for always making me laugh... and for giving me the added challenge of trying NOT to laugh when i'm singing! :D

Kathy, I love you too. Thank you for continuing to share such sweet and encouraging words with me for what must be over a decade now! Your strength inspires me as well. I hope your mother is doing better and that life settles down. And I hope I get to see you in 2023 ;)

This is such a heartwarming message. I agree wholeheartedly! I have been tired of the music industry’s handful of topics to sing about. Your songwriting and music is so refreshing, so full of life. I can’t wait to hear anything you put out!

Eva, you're a very precious, rare, delicate-but-strong, magical bird in this crazy world—a true artist. I admire how you always take action and make things happen, no matter what obstacles are in the way. You're such an inspiration!! I'm so sorry you were sick, but I love how you used your flu downtime for quiet reflection and writing, rather than Netflix binge-watching, as many would do. My life has been complicated lately—but please know that even when you don't hear from me, I'll always love you, my sweet friend.
