Editor’s Note: I have the privilege of working with Debra as a filmmaker and web designer, helping to animate and illustrate her work. She wrote the following “message from the heart” regarding the making of the “Time on Fire ” music video and the forthcoming release of her latest work – 7 original songs that she wrote and recorded at her second home in St. Paul, MN. She spends summers in Door County at Julie’s Cafe in Fish Creek.

As the fall leaves are tumbling down… quite ironically, I am filming this video. Time is literally on fire as the summer days come to an end and winter approaches. A walk in the woods turns a visual experience into an audio experience as well. I listen to the sounds of the rustling leaves blowing in the cool crisp autumn air, the bristly crunching as I put one foot in front of the other. Although thousands of mountain-bikers and hikers hit these trails day-after-day, all summer long, only a faint shred of evidence is left behind in the dirt. If there were10 people passing this spot, there were 100.

It’s November. I am making my way through heaps of leaves, carving out a path with every step I take. I see it when I turn around. And when it’s snowing, I will make an even bigger impact, leaving deep holes behind me for other boots to fill. I love this time of year, fall and the winter ahead. Call me crazy. Having begun to honor my truth, I love this time of my life as well… the second half.

Each day I must reclaim who I truly am by doing what I love. That makes it good. I could have told myself, “Dreams are only for children. Accept it and let go. It’s part of getting older.”

There was a time when I began to feel that the best I could do was to support myself and remain somewhat safe among those who love me. While this is so important – a feat in and of itself – it isn’t enough for me. This alone will never bring me peace and freedom. I must do what I am called to do. I never stopped hearing that voice within me that says, “You’re not done yet.” I take another leap of faith. My journey is one of the spirit.

I am learning along the way, grateful for the opportunity to continue gathering knowledge. The making of music videos is a completely new road that Stephen and I are traveling together. We have both come with some tools in hand, but neither of us has experience at making musical videos. This is our second effort at creating something new and we’re just getting started. Life is beginning again.

The multi-media 7-song CD goes into mastering and duplication after Monday, December 21 – the Winter Solstice, that time of year when we complete the cycle of ever-shortening days and lengthening of nights. From this point on, days will grow longer until Midsummer.

I am writing to invite you to become a sustaining patron of our work… pre-order your copy of the “Time on Fire” 7-song multi-media CD for a contribution of $15 or more (plus $2.50 shipping) and receive a signed and numbered edition with your name included among the sustaining patrons on the inside jacket… but you must place your order by Monday, December 21, 2009. Standard copies and additional copies are available for $11.95 (plus shipping).

I love you all dearly and thank you for supporting me on this journey! My wish for you and for myself is to honor our truth in all we do. We show up. We tell the truth. We become who we are by following the voice in our heart.
