Hi, and Welcome. My name is Fran, and I'm a singer-songwriter who writes from the soul.   I've been singing "soul-songs" since I was a little kid, and I've always been aware my songs reveal my hopes, fears and dreams in deep, truthful and often mysterious ways. Stories and myths have always figured heavily in my life.  I studied English literature in University and I taught Bible and Jewish folklore to elementary school kids for well over a decade.  I have also worked as a professional storytel …

Whether art is your life, or you just need more art in your life, we all need challenges, practices and personal revelations to keep the creative juices fresh and flowing. It’s time to clean out the old creative cobwebs and take a new approach. Creativity can be as nourishing, enriching and enlivening and yoga, but many times, like yoga, our creative practice can be stale, stagnant or downright lazy. Why not take a new approach to how we go about supporting our creative practice? In honor of tra …
