So the finishing touches have been made to my upcoming album. It is now ready to be sent off to the printers. This process started almost a year ago, and you may wonder how it can take almost 12 months to record some songs. Well, I’d like to share some of that process with you in a series of blog posts. To start, here is the fantastic picture for my album cover:

The first, and in my opinion most important step in making an album is having the intention to do it. Although I’ve been wanting to do a solo album for over 5 years, the real committed intention came when I was on my Baha’i pilgrimage last October 2008. It was there that the answer to my prayers and those of my husband told us that making this album was very important. It is during this spiritual journey that it became clear to me that I did not have a choice. In a way I finally surrendered to the idea that it needed to happen, and from there the faith that it would happen followed.
My next post will be about choosing a concept and songs for the album. I leave you with a few photos of me performing.
